The former Trump official joins a group of Republicans who have referred to the vice president as a diversity hire
Newsmax personality and former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka described Vice President Kamala Harris a “DEI hire” and “colored” in an interview on Tuesday.
In the segment, Gorka, himself accused of inflating his credentials as a terrorism expert, predicted that Biden will be forced to withdraw from the presidential race if major Democratic donors “pull the plug.”
I hope she gets the candidacy, not because I’m particularly enthusiastic about her politics (beggers can’t be choosers these days), but if for no other reason than to watch the right’s wall-eyed, impotent rage.
Not a good reason. I’m of the opinion that half the reason we got Trump in 2016 was because the right’s wall-eyed rage against Hillary turned out to be not so impotent after all. Everyone thought Trump would lose, but the right hated Hillary so much, it gave even those who were unmotivated by Trump a reason to go out just to vote against her. Anything that motivates the right to get up and go vote is a bad thing.
Nah, she also has better polling than Biden. I’d rather have a chance to win than definitely lose, Harris is the most realistic option.
The rage from the right has reached its saturation point, there simply aren’t enough bigots left to boost Trump’s numbers. Only way Dems lose is they fail to produce turn out, Biden simply has too much toxic baggage.
We got a small taste of that during the Obama years… just imagine what happens when you multiply African-American with South Asian and female! I think we’ll see those whose masks have been slowly cracking through the ‘45’ years go absolutely balls-to-the-wall mask off. It will be an interesting four years to say the least!
Honestly, a part of me wants the Dump to be completely disqualified from running; Biden to step aside; and Nikki Haley to come back from the grave so that there’s a contest between two South Asian women for president. The voting public’s mind would EXPLODE.
The right is entirely consolidated though, there is no room for a burst of silent bigots. Trump only garners around a quarter of the electorate, probably even less at this point, he is easily beatable it just needs to be someone who’s not Biden.
Also, Obama won both terms, so I’m not sure what you mean. Dems ran a really bad candidate in 2016, depressing turn out of their own potential voters. Harris doesn’t have the baggage Clinton has.
Conceding to misogynists and bigots from the get go is a non-starter as far as I’m concerned.
