Biden State Department Spends Millions on Diversity and Inclusion Efforts; Critics Question Broad Scope
-
Biden's State Department spent $77 million on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEI) efforts in 2022-2023, and plans to spend up to $83 million more in 2024.
-
The spending disclosure was narrow and didn't capture all DEI spending, like the $10 million annual Global Equality Fund grant and the $2.6 billion gender equity funding request.
-
The State Department defends the spending as necessary for legal compliance, but has pushed progressive ideology abroad, like funding LGBT activists globally.
-
Powerful agencies like the State Department have embedded DEI ideologies, while Trump officials plan to gut DEI offices if he's elected in 2024.

The Heritage Foundation is assembling personnel to fill administrative roles in a potential 2024 conservative administration.
