When President Joe Biden finally came to his senses and dropped his re-election bid, and enthusiastically endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, it immediately energized the Democratic base who were thrilled to have a much younger politician as their standard bearer.

At the same time, it panicked Republicans who were expecting a landslide win over the physically frail and cognitively impaired Joe Biden. They could not credibly attack Harris’ impressive resume as a former district attorney of San Francisco, Attorney General of California, Senator of California, and her stint as vice president under Biden, so they resorted to their go-to strategy of attacking her gender and race.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., called Harris a “DEI vice president” on social media, referring to workplace policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Affixing the DEI label on a Black politician is equivalent to calling them the N-word.

And this morning on “Fox and Friends” Brian Kilmeade exposed his racism by complaining that Harris would not be attending Netanyahu’s joint session of Congress with this racist diatribe:

“She will not show up for the Prime Minister’s joint session of Congress…She’d rather address in the summer a sorority, a colored sorority, like she can’t get outta that!”

Referring to a distinguished and historic African American sorority as “colored” is reprehensible and blatantly racist.

Many Democratic senators and congresspersons, and even some Republicans will not attend the Netanyahu shit show because they refuse to honor the indicted and corrupt leader of Israel who is committing genocide against the Palestinians.

I applaud Harris for skipping the Netanyahu circus, and that is just one of a hundred reasons why I’m voting for her.

Things are going to get a lot uglier as Harris climbs in the polls, and the only way to smash this racism is by making sure she wins.

Vote!
