Chris Rufo: What Does Biden's E.O. Creating a National DEI Bureaucracy Mean?

Last week, President Joseph Biden quietly signed an executive order that promises to create a national DEI bureaucracy and embed the principles of left-wing racialism throughout the federal government.

The order, titled “Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government,” relies on three key strategies: creating internal cadres and power centers through the deployment of “Agency Equity Teams,” funding third-party political activism through grants to “community[-based] organizations,” and weaponizing civil rights law to require federal agencies to use artificial intelligence “in a manner that advances equity.”

In this video, Chris Rufo explains how Biden’s executive order manipulates language and statistics in order to nationalize the DEI movement, suppress dissent from the new racial orthodoxy, and subvert the Constitution’s promise of equal treatment under the law.

“I hope that I can give you the tools to parse the language, the tools to understand the concepts and then hopefully the tools to start fighting back. Because we can only solve this problem through the political process, through the legislative process, and through courageous political leadership.

We have to wholly reject the ideology of DEI. We have to abolish the DEI departments in every facet of our government. We have to make the case for those great principles of Liberty and Equality rightly understood.

This is the fight of our time. This is the great Constitutional battle and I think that we are not only right on the politics but we are right morally, we’re right philosophically, and we are right by the highest meaning of our Constitution.

Let’s get to work.” —Chris Rufo
