I think they will just call her "the DEI candidate", which is a few layers isolated from the actual N-word, so they can have some plausible deniability for the moderates, while also signaling to the radicals.

The current far-right boogeyman.

They use it to claim people that are not white, cishet, able-bodied, male, etc. are hired for their "diversity quota", not their skills, while also appearing as reasonable to moderates. In my country (Hungary), similar backlashes were used to get minorities fired or not hired for some single minor mistake, and then hire a way worse non-minority. I was the victim of such thing, they asked my brother if I have "random violent meltdowns that end with destroyed equipment and bit co-workers", when my brother said no, they decided to make me write on a table (which I suck at), where I was "too slow", so they hired some more neurotypical guy, who had like almost zero programming knowledge, while I was described as "already having junior-level knowledge from open source projects".

Bill Ackmann (a 9 bn dollar heavy reptiloid billionaire) posted a lengthy rant against it on that birdsite and our lord and saviour Elmo concurred and proclaimed that it's racist, immoral and illegal although similar programs were already in place since 1964 in the USA.

MAGAs regularly claim that it's the fault of DEI when something goes south, e.g. Boeing machines failing, the CrowdStrike thingy, the bridge crash in Baltimore or Harris getting to the position she's now in.
