The View host Sunny Hostin mourned the death of diversity, equity, and inclusion during the ABC News program on Thursday.

President Donald Trump signed three executive orders during his first days in office that effectively wrought about the end of DEI. First, he ordered all DEI employees be placed on administrative leave. Then, with another executive order, he gave all DEI offices in the federal government 60 days to close down. Finally, he reinstated merit-based opportunities by repealing several orders from presidents past, one as far back as 1965 under Lyndon B. Johnson.

“I think this is a really important issue, especially because when we’re talking about DEI, we’re not talking about a DEI office; we’re talking about equal opportunity and inclusion across all offices for all people,” Hostin said. “Woodrow Wilson, you know back in the day, did the same thing. He resegregated the federal government leading to a plunge in income for not only black workers but also for women.”

“And so what we’re seeing is an attack not on necessarily DEI, or wokeness, we’re seeing an attack on the very fabric of our company, which is opportunity for all including women,” Hostin finished.

Hostin has long opposed Trump from the time he campaigned for office the first time in 2016. Earlier this week she referred to the president as a “DEI hire” because he didn’t “earn” his position with political experience.

Meanwhile, Meta, Walmart, Lowe’s, Toyota, Ford, and others have rolled back their DEI practices. These companies will no longer make hiring and firing decisions based on race or any other identity while phasing out the phrase “DEI.”
