You Can Get a Job in This Senator’s Office, Unless…

New in PJ Media:

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Of Course) is hiring! He’s looking for interns for all three of his offices, in Washington, Boston, and Springfield, Mass. And the conscientious public servant is casting a broad net: “Senator Markey’s office wants our internship program to be as accessible as possible,” his website says. Isn’t that wonderful?

The pay from his office may not be great, but he offers a list of organizations that “offer funding for congressional internships.” This is a perfect opportunity for a young person who is interested in politics to gain valuable experience and insight into the inner workings of our political process, so apply now! — unless, of course, you’re of the wrong race, gender, or sexual orientation. Ol’ Ed is not quite as “accessible” as he claims.

On Wednesday, Markey wrote on X: “I’m hiring self-motivated and eager interns for fall 2025 in my Boston office. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, and other underrepresented candidates with Massachusetts ties are encouraged to apply. Applications due Friday, August 8th.” In other words, as a sign that Markey’s ancestors might have seen, “No Irish need apply.” And not just Irish. With one sentence, Markey neatly ruled out of consideration virtually everyone who doesn’t fall into one of the left’s protected victimhood categories.

BIPOC, for those who may not be up on the latest insane leftist acronyms, is “Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.” LGBTQ+ is “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer,” plus whatever new delusion or perversion the left decides to celebrate tomorrow. I’m still not clear on what the difference is between “lesbian” and “gay” on the one hand and “queer” on the other, but please, don’t bother to explain.

Markey’s point, obviously, is that if you’re white, don’t bother to apply, unless, presumably, you’re a white man who insists he is a woman, or indulge in some other sexual proclivity from which people of earlier ages would have recoiled in horror. If you’re a white man in a happy, stable marriage, in which you’re providing responsibly for your family, Ed Markey doesn’t want you as an intern in his office. If you’re a burly six-footer with a thick beard who prances into his office wearing a skirt and high heels and announce that you and husband just got married at the Elvis Chapel in Vegas (not to drag poor old Elvis into this mess), you have a good shot at getting hired.

Markey is not interested in the content of your character. Like Old Joe Biden’s White House, he is much more interested in the color of your skin, and the bizarre sexual practices in which you engage. After making all that clear, Markey then adds that he wants to hire someone from the “working class,” but presumably a blue-collar worker who has the misfortune of being white would not be considered.

There is more. Read the rest here.
