These two things are orthogonal.
You can not be pro DEI and still find competent people. Just by the numbers, it’s possible.
To be “most unqualified” you can select from DEI or not, as any group will have horribly qualified people.
There are many in the medical field that aren’t DEI that care deeply about, and are knowledgeable about the major health issues in this country - vaccines, obesity, malnutrition, mental health, fertility, cancer, food supply (and its poor quality), environmental, activity, elder care, dementia, early childhood health care, just to name a few.
I am unaware of his qualifications to lead such an org, but at that level, he’s mostly a political talking head anyway. Still, I agree it’s quite bad. We’ll know in a few years the outcome.
All that said, “could not be more embarrassed for humanity and my country” - really? You think this is worse than the Great Depression when security forces were paid to guard piles of rotting fruit so the starving couldn’t eat them? The rise of the KKK? The horrors of the civil war?
Inflationary language might feel good, but its effect is it encourages the forgetting of worse things, increases internal conflict, and makes reconciliation and course correction even harder. So the next time you read how someone is “the worst” or a Nazi, ask yourself if you are truly aiming for the erasure of Nazi crimes and further fracturing of society or simply exaggerating to highlight a point. One person’s exaggeration becomes someone else’s truth.
