Summary

Fox News host Jesse Watters faced backlash after criticizing DOGE for laying off a veteran friend, despite previously praising its cost-cutting efforts.

He argued veterans should be prioritized over DEI consultants, prompting critics to point out that hiring veterans is part of DEI.

Online users mocked his inconsistency, with some noting his misunderstanding of DEI principles.

"You're almost there, Jesse. The veterans are DEI hires. You're confused because you think DEI means 'Black,'" an X user wrote.

We believe in human rights, democracy, and that the role of government is primarily to protect both 'round here.

Is that not "conservatism" in an ideologically liberal nation?

Funny that fascists are doing that. I assumed they would spared the voters (obviously satire).

I swear it took less than 24 hours after that EO for Conservatives to change from Woke to DEI to blame for all their problems. Anybody want to bet on the next buzzword they move onto after they get told for the thousand time what it actually means?
