Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) is fast emerging as one of the brightest young stars of the Republican Party with a series of star-turning performances at congressional hearings.
On Wednesday, he displayed this talent while facing off against a so-called “DEI expert” named Dr. Shaun Harper during a congressional hearing called “Sacrificing Excellence for Ideology: The Real Cost of DEI.”
Harper is a University of Southern California professor who specializes in research focused on racial and gender equity and inclusion, according to his school biography. Naturally, he served as the House Democrats’ witness during the hearing.
Gill immediately sought to expose Harper as a complete fraud by asking a handful of simple questions that someone with his experience should be able to answer without issue.
These included:
Do you believe America should be a color-blind society?
Should race be considered in employment practices?
Which race should be preferred in hiring practices?
Harper failed to properly answer these questions once and was left stumped completely at one point. Due to this, Gill was able to make a complete mockery of the witness and the whole racist practice of DEI.

TRANSCRIPT
GILL: Do you believe that America should be a color-blind society?
HARPER (hesitates): I…
GILL: Should people be treated differently based on their race? It’s a yes or no question.
HARPER: It’s not a yes or no question…People should receive the services, support, and remedies that are owed to them because of systemic racism (in our society).
GILL: Do you believe that race should be considered in employer hiring practices”
HARPER: I do not believe that white people are the only qualified people…
GILL: I did not ask that. I asked if race should be considered in employer hiring practices. And you’re not going to intimidate me by slandering me as a racist.
HARPER: I did not call you a racist…
GILL: It’s a yes or no question. Should race be considered in employer hiring practices?
HARPER: I believe that diversity should be considered by companies and other organizations…
GILL: I’ll take that as yes. Which race do you think should be preferred?
HARPER: I do not believe that a single race should be preferred.
GILL: You just said that race should be considered in employer hiring practices.
HARPER: There’s going to be a transcript of this hearing. I did not say that.
GILL: Why don’t you explain what you believe?
HARPER: What I believe is the demographic composition of workplaces in our nation’s military…Our Congress ought to reflect…
GILL: The racial demographic composition. Is that what you are saying?
HARPER: Race, gender…
GILL: So, race should be a factor in employer hiring practices. Is that what you’re saying?
(crosstalk)
GILL: You’re dodging the question. Who gets to determine which races are preferred?
HARPER (long pause): I,I, already told you I don’t have a single…
GILL: You just told me that the racial demographic should be taken into account in hiring practices.
HARPER: And it should be reflected in all companies and levels of hiring organizations.
GILL: If two people are applying for college. One is white and one is black. Should they be evaluated based on the same objective criteria?
HARPER: I can’t answer that question for you as a proponent of holistic education.
What an embarrassing performance by Harper and an impressive line of questioning for Rep. Gill.
