What we call diversity — in the extreme. In other words, affirmative action programs for every conceivable category of humanity that the left wants to come up with, whether it’s someone who is a gender neutral or homosexual or whatever else, the left loves to put us into categories and push this.

We’re going to create this brave new world where everyone is the same. There are no differences, nothing matters. So I think that’s where we are.
