Who would have thought that the woman selected for President Joe Biden’s VP spot solely based on her skin color and gender, and in spite of her lack of likeability, would turn out to be a massive disappointment and even problem for the Biden administration? It is now that the administration is trying not to separate her from it.
Joe Cunningham, my colleague reported that things have been getting ugly between Harris & Biden since a CNN report revealed Harris loyalists were unfairly treating their favourite VP. These sources say that race and gender were key factors in the troubles.
“It’s hard to miss the specific energy that the White House brings to defend a White man, knowing that Kamala Harris has spent almost a year taking a lot of the hits that the West Wing didn’t want to take themselves,” a former Harris aide said.
Reports that the Biden administration is not a healthy environment and that people are often treated like “s**t” wasn’t exactly uncommon and these reports once again appeared in CNN’s article. Jen Psaki attempted to do damage control on Twitter by telling everyone that Harris is a “bold leader” who took key roles in “important challenges facing the country” but this is hard to swallow given the fact that when important matters are happening, Harris is being shunted into an event somewhere else that will get far less press coverage.
I’m not unwilling to buy that this is happening to Harris because of a toxic work environment. The Biden administration seems like it’s run by leftist activists more than it is professional politicians. There’s no attempt at balance in anything they do. It’s pedal to the medal idealism with a figurehead being a doddering old man who admits quite often that it’s not his hands on the steering wheel when it comes time to answer questions from the press.
What I’m not willing to buy is the excuse that the left had set up for Harris long before she even ran. Before Biden had chosen his VP, they subtly and openly threatened him that if his running mate wasn’t a woman from color, the radicaler base would abandon him. He was a decent little Democrat and did as the radicals told him. Harris won the nomination despite the fact that he had to withdraw from the Democrat primary due to a dramatic drop in popularity.
Harris appeared confident, competent, intelligent and confident on her first impression. This was quickly destroyed by Hawaii’s Tulsi Gabbard, who laid Harris’s sins bare and Harris never recovered neither her momentum nor her confidence. She seemed to lose confidence as she stepped into her new role of VP, and her incompetence only intensified.
There’s nothing she’s involved with, no speech she gives, no off-the-cuff moment, that doesn’t look like an amateur hour attempt at being a personable official. Whether it’s visiting the border she’s failed to protect that only happened because Donald Trump was going to beat her there first, to interrupting a NASA presentation to ask weird questions about trees and environmental justice, Harris just comes off as silly; a woman who was never supposed to be in this position and proved why the moment she did. It’s all awkward laughs and highly public failures.
Harris’s incompetence is the reason she is being thrown out. She’s awkward, she’s incompetent, and she’s unlikeable.
It is absurd to suggest that Harris is being treated as a victim of racism/sexism. The left set this up in order to cover her early failures. Although they initially used the line to defend Harris from critics, it is now being used by Harris’s camp as a cover for why someone so amazing is being overlooked. “It’s the white patriarchy,” they say!
Harris wasn’t made for the role of this president, but the truth is, Harris doesn’t deserve it.
It’s highly unlikely that Harris will be on the Democrat ticket should Biden hold out till 2024, if the Weekend at Bernie’s charade can go that long.
