[In a] deposition, [a DOGE staffer] was asked to apply his understanding of DEI to specific projects from which his department had pulled funding. In one example, he was asked why a documentary focused on female Holocaust survivors was characterized as DEI.
“It’s the gender-based story; that’s inherently discriminatory to focus on this specific group,” Fox stumbled. “It’s focusing on DEI principles, gender being one of them… specifically focused on Jewish cultures and amplifying the marginalized voices of the females in that culture.”
“It’s inherently related to DEI for those reasons,” he concluded.
