Kamala Harris faces sexism and racism as online commenters label her ‘Black Hillary’
Miami Herald ^ | 10/11/60 | David Lightman, Lara Korte

Despite all the fury on social media about the fly on Mike Pence’s head and Kamala Harris’ demeanor, analysts say the vice presidential debate is unlikely to alter the state of the presidential race.

Yet the attacks on Harris afterward were particularly harsh.

The comments during and after Wednesday’s debate were full of complaints that the Democratic vice presidential candidate was too snarky, catty, and had an annoying voice. Many took issue with her facial expressions.

**SNIP**

After talking to 15 undecided voters from eight swing states on debate night, political consultant and pollster Frank Luntz told Fox News that “this was Mike Pence’s night.”

Often, style and substance matter to undecided voters, he said, and “the complaint about Kamala Harris was that she was abrasive and condescending.”

Luntz found that “Harris’ reactions to Pence - the smiling, the smirking, the scowling” left them far “angrier” with her performance.”

Black Hilary: catchy!
Although “Beige Hilary” would be more accurate.

Saying Harris is like Hillary without the personality isn’t racist.

Is she even half of African descent?

“Is she even half of African descent?”

No. She’s a total fraud.

Hillary was a phony.

Harris is genuinely nasty.

Considering that Harris was chosen for the job specifically because she could check off the "black" and "woman" boxes of identity politics, it is ludicrous to claim she is the victim of discrimination.

The truth is, all the other potential candidates are victims of discrimination where they were excluded because they were not "black" and "women".

I think much of the smirking and scowling is Kamala being nervous and caught without a ready formed response.

This is the biggest thing she has ever done in her life and VP Pences nut and bolts, just the facts mam demeanor was throwing her off. She was looking for a way to appeal to the masses, to play the
“Genius-Victim”.

She’s the harpy ex-wife who thinks her ex is so dumb she has to explain what “debt” is to him.

Women.

They are “strong”, “independent”, “equal to men”.

But still hide behind old-fashioned “we’re the weaker sex, don’t pick on us” tropes whenever it suits them.

A focus group of 15 undecided voters from eight swing states on debate night, concluded the VP debate “was Mike Pence’s night.”
Style and substance matter to undecided voters and the complaint about Kamala was her "abrasiveness and condescension.”
Harris’ smiling, smirking, scowling reactions to Pence left the focus group far “angrier” than with her debate performance.

What a joke. Being a “woman of color” is the ONLY reason this vicious shrew was plucked from obscurity.

Perhaps...

But she also uses her whatever level of blackness and femaleness she possesses to gain votes.

So when she uses those irrelevant qualities to gain votes, that’s OK, but when those same qualities may not be to her advantage that’s not OK.

Life is so unfair!

Harris is genuinely nasty.

There are victims of Arkancide that would argue differently.

No criticizing a Democrat or you’re a racist sexist bigot homophobe. In fact, you’re that if you vote for anything else.

Using the Race Card to distract from her Debate Disaster

This is done to get you to identify Harris with Blacks so she can play the race card.

“Tan Hillary or “Mullato Hillary” would be closer.

The dirty little truth is that voters are turned off by sniping, assertive women, especially if they turn and play the victim card at the drop of a hat. Outside of far left states like California and New York, she couldn’t get elected and you saw what happened to her in the DEMOCRAT primaries.
