The Spin

Republican narrative

DEI policies are discriminatory and value companies looking woke rather than subscribing to merit-based principles. Costco should follow Trump and the federal government's lead and do the right thing by scrapping these policies, which may be illegal in the eyes of the courts.

Democratic narrative

Diversity initiatives are essential for business success and customer service, helping companies attract talent and serve diverse communities effectively. A diverse workforce brings creativity and innovation to business operations, making it both a moral and practical necessity.
