On Wednesday, President Donald Trump revoked a six-decade-old executive order designed to combat workplace discrimination by federal contractors, undoing a landmark labor standard that stretches back to the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson.
The rule Trump nuked, Executive Order 11246, forbade federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation or gender identity. It granted the Labor Department the power to enforce its provisions through a contracting standards office.
For sixty years, Federal contractors have been forbidden from discriminating against people. But the Twice-Impeached Felon wants to Make America White Again, so he's doing everything he can to make discrimination the law of the land.
You know what?
Is there a betting pool for when the Orange Shitbird publicly attends a cross-burning?
