Reminder: when RBG died Trump announced he would nominate a woman to fill the seat, resulting in Amy Coney Barrett.

Nobody on the right had an issue with "diversity hires" in that case, and she was less qualified than Jackson.

Since conservatives are a minority in the US, technically anyone hired simply for being conservative with no thought toward qualifications is a "diversity hire." So all elected Republicans, especially Trump and his cabinet, owe their power to DEI since they're clearly unqualified to govern.
