Mark Cuban made a fool of himself in this very public fight over woke ideology

Mark Cuban stars in the hit show Shark Tank and owned the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks before selling his majority stake in the team.

He’s becoming increasingly engaged in political arguments on social media.

And Mark Cuban made a fool of himself in this very public fight over woke ideology.

Mark Cuban shows he doesn’t understand the Constitution

Entrepreneur Mark Cuban has become one of the more vocal defenders of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

More and more Americans are waking up to the fact that DEI is designed to create a racial and gender caste system that doles out positions and financial rewards based on membership in protected classes.

Conservative activist Christopher Rufo has been a leader in exposing the DEI poison running through the veins of corporate America and the education system.

Cuban got into a back and forth with him about the conservative philosophy on governance and decentralization of power in political movements compared to former President Donald Trump’s proposed plans to rein in the bureaucracy in a second term.

Rufo explained there was no tension between the two.

Not exactly. I mean that the president should have more authority over the federal bureaucracy, so that it implements his policies faithfully, as the founders intended. Right now, we have a bureaucracy that represents its own interests, rather than those of the people—this is a…

Cuban then delivered a head-scratching response where he claimed Trump exerting more control over the bureaucracy by firing thousands of left-wing ideologues embedded within the government and replacing them with America First conservatives loyal to his agenda somehow violated the separation of powers and three co-equal branches of government.

“You don’t find this terrifying and problematic? ‘I mean that the president should have more authority over the federal bureaucracy, so that it implements his policies faithfully’. Isn’t this the antithesis of having 3 equal branches of government?” Cuban wrote.

Critics say Mark Cuban needs a civics lesson

Cuban clearly didn’t understand that the three branches of government are the executive, the judicial, and the legislature.

Those are the branches of government tasked with checking each other’s power. 

Article II of the Constitution establishes that the President presides over the executive branch and the agencies Congress has the power to create.

A bureaucracy that works on behalf of the President and implements his agenda is exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

That’s why each time the administration changed hands the President cleared out of the previous set of government workers and replaced them with his own.

What’s un-American and un-democratic is ideologues burrowing themselves in the government and using civil service protections that shield them from any accountability to sabotage the President’s agenda because they disagree with the Commander-in-Chief’s politics.

National Security Council staffer Alexander Vindman tried to plunge America into a Constitutional crisis when he tried to overthrow Trump in the Ukraine impeachment hoax because he thought it was his job to set American policy towards Ukraine and Russia on behalf of the “interagency process.”
