Kamala Harris says attacking DEI means attacking maternal care

September 23, 2026 | | Print Article

Serving up word salad at a roundtable discussing the needs of “black birthing people,” former Vice President Kamala Harris’ defended DEI in her pitch to bolster a Senate nominee.

“… I know he will be a champion.”

Tuesday, he red-green alliance looked to be alive and thriving in the Motor City as a twice-failed presidential hopeful arrived to support Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee, Abdul El-Sayed. It was during the healthcare discussion in Detroit that the Venn diagram-loving proponent of yellow school buses insisted “an attack on DEI is an attack on maternal care.”

After a glowing introduction for the Democratic Party’s frontrunner for the 2028 presidential election spoke of “reproductive freedom” and the “devastating Dobbs” decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, Harris’ own ramblings arrived at the conclusion to opposition to Marxist ideology was equivalent to threatening black women.

“Here’s another fact. The attack on DEI is an attack on maternal care. An attack on DEI, to recognize diversity, equity and inclusion, is an attack by definition on maternal care, including the need to protect black women in connection with their pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum care,” asserted the vice president.

As certain as she was of that, Harris was doubtful about the economic position of the United States in relation to the rest of the world while saying, “As one of the most — some would say the most financially strong economies in the world — we have the distinction of also having one of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the world.”

“So, it raises the issue of disparities and also hypocrisy when there are leaders who otherwise walk around every day talking about their family values,” the politician added, attempting a dig at those opposed to the murder of unborn babies because of efforts to reduce the size of the federal government.

Faulting the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which she referred to as the “Big Bad Bill” for cutting Medicaid spending, Harris maintained, “One in 12 women in American currently lives in a maternal care desert with limited or no access to maternal care.”

“Medicaid is the largest funder for maternity care in America. [President] Donald Trump cut Medicaid funding by a trillion dollars. These are the facts [former Michigan Rep.] Mike Rogers supported that cut through the ‘Big Bad Bill,'” she said, demonizing El-Sayed’s Senate opponent.

“I’m here to support Dr. El-Sayed, because, on this subject, I know he will be a champion. And I have a right to say that,” the Democrat expressed ahead of a roundtable participant spouting off about the needs of “black birthing people.”

Meanwhile, in a 2012 essay bemoaning “social power and privilege” as behind funding for breast cancer research, El-Sayed contended that the National Institutes of Health decision-making on allocating $31 billion was “disturbing.”

Amid the kamala-gobbledygook, some suggested that the Senate hopeful’s expression was indicative of how many American’s already felt, with one reaction arguing, “Looks like ol El-Says is being burdened by a has-been.”
