Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts shared a job posting Wednesday on the social media site X that could be construed as discriminatory to applicants who are white or straight.
“I’m hiring self-motivated and eager interns for fall 2025 in my Boston office. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, and other underrepresented candidates with Massachusetts ties are encouraged to apply,” he wrote. “Applications due Friday, August 8th.”

This behavior is from the days of affirmative action and in line with the cult of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
It’s like Markey is saying: “If you’re straight or white, you need not apply.”

This is nonsense, and should have been left on the political ash heap years ago.
The Daily Caller also noticed Markey’s bizarre post and highlighted his far-left bias just hours after he wrote it.

Markey’s website, where the internship application is posted, says that his office is an “equal opportunity employer.” It then immediately encourages only certain demographics to apply.
“This office is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate based on race, religion, disability, age, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, family status or military status,” the website reads. “Candidates from BIPOC, LGBT+, working class, and/or other underrepresented communities with Massachusetts ties are strongly encouraged to apply.”
What a joke.
If a Republican senator posted the opposite, asking for straight white Christian applicants, the mainstream media and Democrats would cry racism and scream about it for weeks all over the news.

Yet Democrats cling to this idea of a “rainbow coalition” that checks boxes based on quotas, not on skill or talent.
This is a shameful and dangerous ideology to be spreading — especially when it’s done in such a cavalier way, like Markey has done here.
He will likely be hailed as a friend of the downtrodden and a hometown hero, however, instead of being called out for his discrimination and ignorance.
