<p>MSNBC took some backlash Saturday after a tweet — posted by the network&#8217;s official Twitter account — openly attacked conservatives.</p>
<p>&#8220;Conservatives don’t mind affirmative action hires so long as the people hired fit their preferred demographic,&#8221; the tweet read.</p>

<p>&#8220;I love that MSNBC isn’t even trying to hide their bias anymore,&#8221; Caleb Hull <a href="https://twitter.com/CalebJHull/status/1487791173540487169">tweeted</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Conservatives’ preferred demographic: Applicant best suited for the job, irrespective of identity,&#8221; Fox News personality and Marine veteran Johnny Joey Jones <a href="https://twitter.com/Johnny_Joey/status/1487787992773242880">added</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Hey </span><span class="r-18u37iz">@MSNBC </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">reel in your interns,&#8221; Lauren Chen <a href="https://twitter.com/TheLaurenChen/status/1487557281185251336">tweeted</a>. &#8220;They forgot you&#8217;re supposed to at least pretend to be unbiased.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>&#8220;Clarence Thomas didn&#8217;t need affirmative action and conservatives *love* him,&#8221; independent journalist Kyle Becker <a href="https://twitter.com/kylenabecker/status/1487527119517364224">said</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;What’s our preferred demographic? If you say &#8216;white men,&#8217; then this tweet doesn’t make any sense,&#8221; The Babylon Bee&#8217;s Seth Dillon <a href="https://twitter.com/SethDillon/status/1487547085784240128">added</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is the account of a news website?&#8221; Ryan Girdusky <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1487535931116642304">asked</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;When is DirecTV going to sever ties with MSNBC? Asking for AON,&#8221; attorney Matthew Kolken <a href="https://twitter.com/mkolken/status/1487774383234068482">added</a>.</p>
<p>The Hill&#8217;s media and political columnist Joe Concha <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeConchaTV/status/1487755425810456578">added</a>, &#8220;Not a tweet from a host or pundit on the network, but from the official feed of an alleged news organization.&#8221;</p>
<p>The tweet appeared to be a reference to conservatives who criticized President Joe Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/progressives-demand-biden-pick-supreme-court-nominee-based-on-race-and-sex-select-first-black-female-justice/">promise</a> to nominate the first black woman to the Supreme Court — a promise he reiterated when Justice Stephen Breyer <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/im-an-optimist-justice-breyer-pulls-out-pocket-constitution-says-he-believes-american-experiment-will-prevail/">officially announced</a> his retirement this week.</p>
<p>Following that announcement, a number of people <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-slammed-after-he-commits-to-racial-and-sex-discrimination-in-choosing-supreme-court-justice/">criticized Biden</a>, suggesting that he could have simply quietly chosen black woman who was highly qualified — and that by placing the focus on her race and gender, he had raised the possibility that he was fulfilling a quota rather than choosing based primarily on professional qualifications.</p>
<p>MSNBC&#8217;s tweet appeared to take a position similar to the one taken earlier in the week by Ana Navarro on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; when she suggested that conservatives engaged in &#8220;identity politics&#8221; when they chose fellow conservatives for certain jobs, arguing that choosing people based on their similar ideological identities was no different than choosing people based on race or gender.</p>
<p>&#8220;All politics is &#8216;identity politics,'&#8221; she said during Friday&#8217;s broadcast of the midday talk show, arguing that everyone — regardless of race, gender or creed — wanted to vote for someone with whom they identified in some way.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why is putting a black woman &#8216;identity politics&#8217; but putting a conservative, who you agree with ideologically, not &#8216;identity politics&#8217;?&#8221; she asked, adding that it was &#8220;hypocritical&#8221; for people to suggest that race and gender were the only factors that influences &#8220;identity politics.&#8221;</p>
