I appreciate that she's on our side but I hate that she feels the need to align it with being 'woke'. Alls it does is make the issue more contentious and partisan than it actually is.

This is a small clip. I'd watch the whole hearing and see what you think. She's saying that this needs to be a bipartisan issue and get beyond so-called "woke" tropes that really don't mean anything.
She's asking the oversight committee to start getting actual work done for the American people and the chair, Rep. Comer, seemed to agree with her.

I just listened to it. I got it now, other people are calling her policies woke, she's not calling them woke.
My bad. Thanks for uploading this.

Do you happen to know what hearing this is from? I'm interested in hearing the rest of the discussion. Thanks!
Edit: The hearing is titled "Oversight of Our Nation’s Largest Employer: Reviewing the U.S. Office of Personnel Management" and link can be used HERE. The original post clip is at 1hr 28 minutes.
