> calling his predecessor Antony Blinken's decision to adopt Calibri a "wasteful" diversity move

And changing it back to Times New Roman isn't wasteful?

Blinken did change it to Calibri at the recommendation of the diversity and inclusion office. Whether or not it was justified is another matter, but there is no question it was a DEI initiative.

That wasn't the point; the point was about the hypocrisy of calling it "wasteful".
