Former Vice President Kamala Harris revealed that Pete Buttigieg was her “first choice” as running mate in last year’s presidential election, but such a pairing “was too big of a risk,” according to an excerpt from her upcoming book.

Buttigieg, the former secretary of transportation and mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who is gay, “would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight white man,” Harris wrote in a portion of “107 Days” published by The Atlantic.

“But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a black woman, a black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, ‘Screw it, let’s just do it.’ But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk,” she added. “And I think Pete also knew that — to our mutual sadness.” …

So she wouldn’t pick him because he was a homosexual. Good decision by her but she’s obviously the one who has an issue.

It’s all about superficial identity politics. Skin color, sexual depravities, anything but accomplishments and qualifications. We have to show the world we’re diverse and don’t give a crap about making America a better place. Screw the middle class working families.

If they could have found a midget-lesbian-with a wooden leg...they would have run her instead for VP. From their prospective....it’s a circus show.

She's more Indian than black, I think.

She thought she would lose even harder with Mayor Pete than with Governor Walz? I admit, it’s a toss-up,

This is just a smokescreen. The real person she should have picked was Josh Shapiro. But she couldn’t pick him, not because he was gay, but because he was Jewish, which was unacceptable to a significant portion of the Democrats base.

So she admits that her voter base is predominantly homophobic (their word for it!), and that she was willing to go along with it and choose a less-worthy running mate, thus validating that "pernicious homophobia."

Thanks, Harris, for showing your true colors!

I don’t believe her. She gave the woke answer. She knew Shapiro was her best choice, but the radical Left was in opposition.

Harris reveals 'first choice' for running mate but says America was not ready still too bigoted for it

Oh, when will we stupid, inbred American voters finally be worthy of Harris & Co. and their lofty ideals? Only then will be worthy of entering the socialistic paradise they are promising us!

So, she wanted Butt Boy, the plastic nursing mother. That would make a fine set, a matching pair of depraved morons.

That’s exactly what she used to tell everyone. She left out the “black” part when she accentuated “Indian”, though, and always mentioned her middle name “Devi” (”Kamala Devi” being a reference to the Hindu “lotus goddess” Lakshmi).
