Bernie Sanders Deals Blow to ‘Woke’ Ideology, Favors ‘Equality’ Over ‘Equity’ Leading to Lauren Boebert Taking Victory Lap

U.S. House Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) took a victory lap today after U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told Bill Maher that he favors “equality” over “equity.”

During a roundtable discussion, Maher asked his guests, “Are we confusing equality of opportunity with trying to guarantee equity of outcomes?” Maher

Maher pointed out, “I think this word ‘equity’ has come into the language in the last few years, and before that, we didn’t hear it a lot.”

“I think a lot of people hear ‘equity’ and they hear ‘equality’ like it’s the same word, but it’s not the same word and the same concept,” Maher noted.

Maher then asked Sanders specifically, “So how would you differentiate between equity and equality?”

“Well equality, we talk about, uh, I don’t know what the answer to that is,” Sanders responded as the audience laughed.

Sanders then attempted to explain, “Equality is equality of opportunity. We live in a society, we want all people to have, whatever color your skin is.”

Maher then chimed in, “Equity, I think, is more of a guarantee of outcome, is it not?” to which Sanders agreed, “Yeah, I think so.”

“Which side do you come down on?” Maher inquired to which Sanders replied, “Equality.”

In a tweet, Boebert seized on Sanders’ admission as she said, “Even Bernie Sanders, America’s most famous socialist, says that he favors ‘equality’ over ‘equity’.”

“It wasn’t particularly clear if he truly understood the question, though. I guess the DEI training didn’t really do the job!” Boebert insisted.
