ERIE GROWN PASSPORT CONTEST BRINGS IN A BUMPER CROP OF PARTICIPANTS IN 2022

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon claimed that the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division was guilty of "50 years of discrimination" against white people after about 75% of the agency's lawyers said she was behind a plot to drive them out.

"I think there was some denial and they had crying sessions together," Dhillon told The New York Post this week. "Frankly, it was shocking to them. They had unhappy hours. It was like a lot of drama and handwringing."

"I didn't fire anybody. I just told them they have to approach their job differently. They self-deported with a nice golden parachute from the government."

On Wednesday's appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, Dhillon encouraged viewers to apply for jobs at the reconstructed Civil Rights Division.

"We just sued Minneapolis for discriminating against teachers who are not minorities and, you know, on and on and on," she promised. "And so we are hiring, and so lawyers with at least 18 months of experience who are interested in serving a tour of duty to help their country."

Charlie Kirk Show producer Andrew Kolvet lamented that white people could soon no longer hold majority status in the U.S.

"Let's say it was 83% white country [in the 1960s]; now we're basically 50%," he noted. "You give that another 10 years, it's going to be probably under 50%, maybe right around 50%. ... When I was born, I think we were around 80% white still."

Dhillon admitted that "we have a history of discrimination in our country."

But she suggested that the courts went too far with a 1971 decision that started the concept of disparate impact.

"So in other words, you no longer necessarily had to prove in your discrimination case, whatever the context was, that you are actually being the victim of intentional discrimination," she remarked. "You could simply prove that there's a hiring process or a policy, or there's certain, you know, tests that are required, and I, because I'm African-American, I can't pass a test."

"We have now issued a guidance that says that this 50 years of discrimination is against frankly law-abiding practices and businesses and recipients is over," she added. "It is harming a lot of people. It is wrong."

President Donald Trump sent the internet into a frenzy on Monday afternoon after he doubled down on his comments about slain director Rob Reiner from earlier in the day.

Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday morning that Reiner suffered from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and said the director died "due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction." The comments sparked bipartisan outrage.

Reiner and his wife, Michelle, were found dead in their Hollywood home on Saturday night. Authorities have identified the Reiners' 32-year-old son, Nick, as the primary suspect in the case after he and Rob had an argument at a holiday party hosted by talk show host Conan O'Brien, according to CNN.

Trump doubled down on those comments when CNN's Kristen Holmes asked Trump about the criticism he received from Republicans during a press conference on Monday afternoon.

"I wasn't a fan of his at all," Trump said. "He was a deranged person."

Political analysts and observers condemned Trump's comments on social media.

"FFS," conservative columnist Charlie Sykes posted on X.

"I know his staff is beyond shame, but each and every one of them should feel utterly embarrassed to work for a human this badly broken," political speechwriter Zev Karlin Neumann posted on X.

"Just disgusting," writer Olivia Juliana posted on X.

"What are the deletists going to say now?" entertainment entrepreneur Ian Schaefer posted on X.

"Hey, Erika Kirk! Are you going to tell F---face over here to tone down the hateful rhetoric?" writer Polly Singh asked on X.

"This is why we all can’t wait for the day," Democratic digital strategist Ally Sammarco posted on X.
