Harris allies see sexism and desperation in Biden camp backlash

Four days after their prime-time showdown, the tit-for-tat between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden is still going strong.

Some Harris allies said Monday they saw sexism and desperation in the backlash from the former vice president's camp. They were outraged after an ally of Biden suggested she had allowed her ambition to get the best of her when she challenged the former vice president’s long opposition to busing for school desegregation. And at least one black leader aligned with a rival campaign rose to Harris’ defense, too.

“Why couldn’t she be ambitious? She’s running for president of the United States,” Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls, said in an interview. Watson Coleman is backing Cory Booker but said she felt compelled to speak out. “That, however, does not diminish the significance of her speaking out [about] her experiences as a young black girl, and the significance of the civil rights movement and how it provided an opportunity for her.”

The hostilities carried into Monday, when a top Biden supporter suggested Harris’ knockdown would help Donald Trump in a general election by creating a “TV-ready moment that they could use in ads in cities like Philadelphia.” The person close to the Biden campaign also suggested Harris would get her comeuppance in a future exchange.

The only thing that will settle this is a cage match.

I would love to see Biden lob the “She's not native born” grenade at the next debate and see what happens.

Oh good, she and her team plans on playing the victim. When she doesn’t win the primary she will claim the country is sexist and racist.

LOL!!! The left has so embraced it's own ridiculous narratives it can't have a primary without destroying itself.

BUSSING! Yeap. That's a winning platform. Keep at it, sugartits.

Harris figures she’s black and a woman, so she can say anything. Biden’s 76. It’s his last hurrah. I predict he’ll say anything he needs to stay on top.

They want this narrative by Harris so she can launch her “Pound Me Too” diatribes at Trump at their debates.

Yes, yes. It’s a shame that factors like “logic” and “long term consequences” get in the way of the Progressive agenda.

If you live by the manufacturing narrative, you shalt die by that narrative. And “Russian Collusion” about to come back and bite them, too!

They have a Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls?

Is there a Congressional Caucus on White Women and Girls?

tit-for-tat

If only Biden had tattoos, this would be a hilarious comment.

Harris has played the race card.
Now she’s lobbing the sexism grenade.

It’s all any of them have.

It’ll be fun watching them chucking the racist / sexist grenades at each other, while their base gets bored & decides maybe this Trump guy isn’t so bad after all.
