It's no secret the the mainstream media and the Democrats lie constantly and advance myths to promote their preferred politicians. Barack Obama was a radical backbench politico who was treated like a demigod by the Democrats. 
The new flavor of the month is Kamala Harris. Supposedly Harris is unique as the first minority member to serves as Vice President. 
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! 
The distinction belongs to Republican Charles Curtis who served as Vice President for President Herbert C. Hoover. Curtis was a Kansan who was a registered member of the Kaw nation. His ancestry included Osage and Potawatomi blood as well. Unlike Harris, Curtis was a distinguished member of Congress and served as President Pro Tempore, Majority Whip, and Majority Leader while in the US Senate.

    Doesn’t matter. Only Democrats can be firsts in anything which they define as desirable.

Cool. I clicked through to this thread, to mention that.

    VP Harris may not be the first racial minority to serve as VP, but she is the first ex stripper to serve as VP
 She brings that considerable skill to the office.
 She is preparing to mesmerize both Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. They won't know what hit 'em. ( sarc)

    I was going to say that Kamala is the first whore to hold that office, but then I realized we are talking about D.C., and I wasn’t nearly so sure.

    Even if she were the first, she and her ‘president’ stole the election so it doesn’t count.

    I only learned of Curtis in past week. Where was this during Obama and the past campaign? Was it suppressed because he was American Indian?

    Indira Gandhi, Thatcher, Golda Meir all broke the glass ceiling decades ago. I guess we’re not globalist enough to cast accolades to the international sisterhood’s accomplishments unless we have bragging rights too. What insanity.
Harridan’s seem to be the only type of personality that the Democrats can conjure up.
Who wants a harridan for a president?

    "The distinction belongs to Republican Charles Curtis who served as Vice President for President Herbert C. Hoover. "
 That point was emphasized in the 1951 movie:
