Joe Biden issued an executive order Thursday that grants Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice power to transform all agencies of the executive branch into a radical “woke DEI cult,” warns America First Legal (AFL).

….

With scant establishment media coverage, Biden issued his executive order that intends to completely make over all domestic federal agencies to an entirely Marxist worldview – without congressional approval.

“As part of this colossally lawless scheme, the Director of Domestic Policy, Susan Rice, will be leading a White House equity committee to ensure no government activity is left untouched by Biden’s DEI takeover of the government,” AFL President Stephen Miller said in a statement.

Titled “Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government,” Biden boasts of how his “Administration has vigorously championed racial equity … and has produced better decision-making and more equitable outcomes.”

“We have delivered the most equitable economic recovery in memory,” Biden touted, despite unprecedented inflation affecting Americans at most economic levels in the nation.

In his executive order, Biden continues to boast of what he considers to be his administration’s accomplishments:

{ My Administration has taken action to strengthen public safety, advance criminal justice reform, correct our country’s failed approach to marijuana, protect civil rights, and stand up against rising extremism and hate-fueled violence that threaten the fabric of our democracy.

We have taken historic steps to advance full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) Americans, including by ending the ban on transgender service members in our military; prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics across Federal programs; and signing into law the Respect for Marriage Act (Public Law 117-228) to preserve protections for the rights of same-sex and interracial couples.

My Administration is also implementing the first-ever National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality to ensure that all people, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to realize their full potential. }

However, because, in Biden’s view, “many of whom have endured generations of discrimination and disinvestment — still confront significant barriers to realizing the full promise of our great Nation,” the current executive order is necessary “to take additional action across the Federal Government” to advance his radical agenda.

The order establishes “equity-focused leadership across the federal government,” including the State, Treasury, Defense, Justice, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, Education, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, Small Business Administration, Social Security, General Services, Environmental Protection Agency, National Science Foundation, and Office of Personnel Management Departments – within 30 days.

“Each Agency Equity Team shall be led by a designated senior official (senior designee) charged with implementing my Administration’s equity initiatives,” Biden continues, adding that designee “shall be responsible for delivering equitable outcomes.”

…

Fox News host Tucker Carlson highlighted Friday the fact that hardly any establishment media covered Biden’s move Thursday that will completely make over all domestic federal agencies to a racial and gender equity world view to the detriment of average, law-abiding American citizens.

“We do know that running all of this – which is the largest racial tracking bureaucracy since the fall of Nazi Germany – will be former President Barack Obama, and he will be doing that, as always, through his longtime lackey and cutout Susan Rice,” Carlson said, adding the goal of the initiative is to place the entire federal government “in opposition to a very specific slice of the American population.”

The host of Tucker Carlson Tonight explained the order amounts to a situation whereby every American, except “straight white males,” will “qualify for one of Joe Biden’s many protective categories.”

…

AFL has vowed to oppose Biden’s executive order, observing in a press statement:

{ “Equity” is a euphemism for discrimination based on race, national origin, sex, or economic class with respect to employment, university admissions, and access to government benefits, programs, or services. As applied, “equity” is nothing more or less than a rebranding and reorientation of the racism in the “Jim Crow” era, the class hatred in Stalin’s “anti-kulak” policies, and the dogmatism of Mao’s “Cultural Revolution.” }

“Without direct Congressional authorization or supporting appropriations, Biden has ordered the federal government to accelerate the advancement of facially illegal ‘equity’ measures throughout the federal government and its operations,"   AFL added.

…

Miller emphasized the radical and pervasive nature of the executive order:

{ With the stroke of a pen, Biden has transformed the entire federal government into a DEI cult—putting equity czars inside virtually every single agency of the executive branch and subordinating every department to the marxist equity agenda. Every previous law and regulation must now be reinterpreted to ensure racial and gender equity: in other words, to achieve a predetermined racial or gender identity outcome even if it requires ruthless discrimination against American citizens. }
