Republican lawmakers are taking a stand against a far-left Biden-Harris initiative as they kept the House of Representatives on the coattails of an impressive presidential election victory by President-elect Donald Trump.

The massive victory gave Republicans the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives, along with what many believe is a mandate to enact sweeping changes.

It may have also given them the courage to do what they could not do or were not willing to do, before, The Center Square reported, including ending DEI — diversity, equity, and inclusion — policies conservatives see as little more than thinly-veiled anti-white racism.

“The Center Square was given advance copy of two bills filed Thursday by U.S. Rep. Bob Good, R-La., to end DEI practices at the Department of Housing and Urban Development,” the report said.

“The first bill, the Flexibility in Housing Act of 2024, would block a Biden-Harris administration rule at HUD. That rule is about to be finalized and would require HUD grant recipients to implement ‘equity-driven housing plans,’” it said.

“The newly introduced bill, however, would block that rule and give power to states and local governments to decide how best to spend the funds,” it said.

The other bill is named “No Discrimination in Housing Act,” and it is designed to stop large companies from getting tax credits using DEI initiatives to purchase single-family homes, which many economists believe has driven the rise in the cost of home ownership.

The legislation “would prohibit any entity with a DEI initiative from receiving the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit – thereby ensuring the tax credit is distributed based on merit – not for the advancement of the radical DEI ideology.”

“The Biden-Harris Administration’s radicalization of housing policy prioritizes woke DEI corporations, yet does nothing that will actually drive down the cost of a home in an economy destroyed by Bidenflation,” the representative said to The Center Square. “My bills aim to restore Trump-era housing flexibility and eliminate the DEI housing policies that prohibit families from pursuing the American dream.”

The Dismantle DEI Act that advanced from the House Oversight Committee was introduced by Texas Republican Rep. Michael Cloud to bring back a “colorblind” approach.

“Diversity, equity, and inclusion – these are words that, on the surface, seem to represent ideals we can all support,” he said. “But when these principles are redefined and implemented as an ideology within our federal government, they take on a meaning that diverges from their original intent.”

“Under the guise of progress, this ideology seeks to categorize individuals based on immutable characteristics rather than valuing the content of their character or their individual achievements,” he said.

In September Fox News presenter Greg Gutfeld referred to the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump as a “DEI debate” after moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis’ blatant prejudice and their one-sided “fact-checking.”

Gutfeld responded to the one-sided debate performance during the latest installment of “The Five.”

“Well, I don’t know who won but I know who lost it was the American people You know, you could say if you complain about the refs you’re losing Well, if the refs are corrupt, you’ve got a complaint because everybody lost,” Gutfeld said. “I felt like my brain was being waterboarded by the sheer nonsense of these idiot moderators.”

Although the moderators exhibited bias against Trump in previous debates, Gutfeld observed that the debate’s structure diverted attention from them in the days preceding the event.

“I honestly don’t know how anyone can decide who won the debate. That’s like trying to guess the price of a painting that you suspect is a forgery. You can’t objectively decide a winner in a sham competition. This is truly the first DEI debate where one candidate was subjected to a high standard and the other was held to no standards at all,” he continued.
