Exclusive: Sen. Eric Schmitt Says Biden’s Budget Is the ‘Wokest Budget in History’

“It’s the wokest budget in history, and it’s a joke,” the newly minted senator told Breitbart News on Friday morning regarding what some of the federal departments under Biden want to spend taxpayer dollars on.

“When you dig down, and you drill down into the details, the billions and billions of dollars being spent on this climate alarmist agenda, or DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] or all this virtue signaling, again, is, is not in step with where the American people are at, and they want to see responsible governing, and … see some fiscal responsibility in the budgeting like they have to do at home. And that’s not represented in this budget,” Schmitt explained.

The Missouri senator was referring to the federal departments and agencies wanting to “advance racial equity,” find “strategies to promote racial and socioeconomic diversity in” schools, and advance “gender equality and equality around the world.”
