‘Hateful’ Republican ripped for saying Americans ‘don’t have to apologize for being white’

  • On Sunday, Vice President JD Vance said one of President Donald Trump’s key wins was gutting federal DEI laws that discriminated against white and Asian Americans at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2025 in Phoenix.
  • Vance argued DEI is antithetical to American values and meritocracy, making it an easy target for the second Trump Administration, and urged support for an 'America First' political project demanding patriotism.
  • Amid loud reaction, Vance said 'In the United States of America, you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore', drawing cheers from the audience at the arena.
  • Vance attacked Democratic leaders including Gavin Newsom, California Governor, and former Vice President Kamala Harris, and cited shutting down the southern border as an achievement well-received by the arena.
  • The timing — days after the Compact piece — links Vance’s remarks about Asian applicants and ending apology for whiteness to disputes over college admissions and federal DEI policy involving professional 'gatekeepers'.
