White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she feels that sexism and racism have contributed to the intensity of criticism faced by Vice President Kamala Harris.
"I do think that it has been easier and harsher from some in the right wing who have gone after her because she is the first woman, the first woman of color. I’m not suggesting anyone will acknowledge that publicly," Psaki said during an appearance on Politico's "Women Rule" podcast Wednesday.
Psaki said that Harris bears a heavy burden being the "first African American, woman of color, Indian American woman to serve in this job," but that she "wants to be seen" more for her role as a trusted expert and adviser to President Biden.
"I mean, so many firsts, right? It’s a lot to have on your shoulders," Psaki said. "She is somebody who, at a much higher level than the rest of us, but who wants to be seen as the talented, experienced, you know, expert, substantive policy person, partner to the president, that she is. But I do think there have been some attacks that are beyond because of her identity."
Psaki's defense of the vice president comes after CNN sparked controversy by publishing a story that claimed Biden's White House is fed up with Harris and her "entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus."
Best-selling author Don Winslow called the story "racist and misogynistic," while former Democratic congressional nominee Pam Keith said, "The reason Kamala Harris is being attacked is because she is a Black woman in high office… and many many people who would swear they aren’t racist or sexist, can only cope with and accept Black women, if they are in subordinate roles."

ThankQ.
If you walked into a room to get advice and it’s Brandon, VP Harris, and Charles Manson....who would you instinctively trust more?
Raise the race shield to protect her incompetence
Cool!
Also prejudice against talentless morons with no skill sets whatever, except in the world’s oldest profession. If she were white, that would be ok. But since she’s sort of black, nooooooo!
Cackling Kamala went all the way to France to offer insights like this:
“We must together. Work together. To see where we are. Where we are headed, where we are going and our vision for where we should be. But also see it as a moment to, yes. Together, address the challenges and to work on the opportunities that are presented by this moment.”
Exactly.

As for the outcome in Paris, Harris summed it up eloquently, "We have a lot of follow-up stuff."

Projection. Sexism and racism is how she became the vice Presidential nominee, and eventually the vice president.
Daily, the left exposes the core values that really do shape their worldview.
Ya ?,
Well, she’s outed herself now.
Psaki is a stupidist.
These people are so lazy and predictable.
That’s odd. I expect Vice-Presidents to be competent, regardless of their race or gender.
She is every bit as good as Joe Biden, does that fix the hurt?
The fact that she is a commie whore who is dumb as a box of rocks could not possibly have anything to do with the criticism.
OMG the same old song and dance from the leftist hack. Why oh why can’t they at least come up with something new? Don’t they know that people have eyes and ears and can see and hear what Kamel toes says and does? Wow.
Love it. I adopted this strategy. Nu Rulz. Make them swallow their new rules without a gulp of water.
