'I was called a witch': Hillary Clinton's advice for 'chronically underestimated' Kamala Harris
Times of India ^ | 7/24/2024 | Staff

Posted on 07/24/2024 12:50:25 PM PDT by simpson96

Hillary Clinton extended support to vice president Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate and said she will have an uphill battle as the first Black and South Asian woman to be at the top of a major party’s ticket. In an opinion piece on New York Times, Hillary Clinton commended President Joe Biden's decision and said Kamala Harris can defeat Donald Trump.

"Ms. Harris is chronically underestimated, as are so many women in politics, but she is well prepared for this moment," Hillary Clinton wrote calling Kamala Harris a fresh start in American politics.

Talking about the prejudices that she faced and are more or less faced by all women in politics, Hillary wrote: "I know a thing or two about how hard it can be for strong women candidates to fight through the sexism and double standards of American politics.

I’ve been called a witch, a “nasty woman” and much worse. I was even burned in effigy. As a candidate, I sometimes shied away from talking about making history. I wasn’t sure voters were ready for that. And I wasn’t running to break a barrier; I was running because I thought I was the most qualified to do the job. While it still pains me that I couldn’t break that highest, hardest glass ceiling, I’m proud that my two presidential campaigns made it seem normal to have a woman at the top of the ticket." "Ms. Harris’s record and character will be distorted and disparaged by a flood of disinformation and the kind of ugly prejudice we’re already hearing from MAGA mouthpieces. She and the campaign will have to cut through the noise, and all of us as voters must be thoughtful about what we read, believe and share,"

“Ms. Harris’s record and character will be distorted and disparaged by a flood of disinformation and the kind of ugly prejudice”

All the Republicans have to do is play Harris videos over and over and over again...

Let the Democrats try to claim they are “disinformation”.

Lol.

‘I was called a witch’

I was sugarcoating it. I’m too much of a gentleman to say how I really feel.

I thought Shrillary's advice would have been something more like:

"Eliminate your rivals and 'loose ends', by whatever means necessary. I hear Fort Marcy Park is lovely this time of year."

More specifically, she has constant lines of communication with Marina Abramovic, and has logged hundreds of flights to Haiti to visit Voodoo witch doctors. This is who told her that Bill would be president some day

It may have sounded like ‘witch’, but that wasn’t it.
