<p>Left-wing political commentator Charlamagne Tha God, whose real name is Lenard Larry McKelvey, said over the weekend that Vice President Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate because she needed a &#8220;DEI hire.&#8221;</p>
<p>McKelvey made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC News&#8217; &#8220;This Week&#8221; while talking about the state of the 2024 presidential election.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just found out about him over the last couple of weeks,&#8221; he said. &#8220;At first, I was a little bit disappointed like I knew she — we knew she needed a DEI hire, right?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So Tim Walz is the DEI hire on this ticket?&#8221; Karl asked. &#8220;Diversity, equity, inclusion.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Absolutely,&#8221; McKelvey responded. &#8220;She needed a white male to make America comfortable. It is what it is. No need for us to, you know, act crazy about it. You know what it is.&#8221;</p>
<p>McKelvey then falsely claimed that Harris had &#8220;very moderate&#8221; policy positions despite the fact that she was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/60-minutes-host-tells-harris-she-is-the-most-far-left-member-of-u-s-senate-harris-struggles-to-respond">ranked</a> as the most far-left U.S. Senator.</p>
<p>McKelvey said that Harris needed to step up, stop hiding because she is afraid, and do interviews and press conferences.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel like she should be any and everywhere, you know, having these conversations,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t — I truly don&#8217;t know why she hasn&#8217;t, you know, done any interviews yet because that&#8217;s the only reason Donald Trump is still, you know, sucking the — sucking the air out of the headlines, because he keeps headlines going, like he&#8217;s everywhere. You saw him at the National Association for Black Journalists Convention. You saw him on with Adin Ross. He&#8217;s going to be on with Elon Musk. He&#8217;s always calling in to conservative talk radio.&#8221;</p>
