As vice president, Kamala Harris often tried to use government to target racism and sexism.
Paging through intelligence reports just weeks after she was sworn in as vice president, Kamala Harris was struck by the way two female foreign leaders were described. The reports used adjectives that, in her view, were rarely used to describe male leaders.
Ms. Harris, the first woman to hold her office, ordered up a review that scrutinized multiple years of briefing reports from various intelligence agencies, looking for possible gender bias.
The study found some questionable word choices but no widespread pattern, according to a senior intelligence official, one of five who requested anonymity to discuss the review. (None would disclose the words flagged by Ms. Harris because the reports were classified.)
Still, the exercise had an impact: Intelligence officials added a new training class for analysts on how to judge and assess female foreign leaders, according to another official.
The episode proved to be a preview of Ms. Harris’s priorities. The vice president put questions about gender and race at the center of many of the policy discussions in her office, aides and former administration officials said. Throughout her career, she pushed for policies aimed at systemic disparities and often used her bully pulpit to speak about what she saw as injustices.
While Ms. Harris’s allies describe this as a defining feature of her vice presidency — one that separates her from her predecessors, including Democrats — she is not running on this part of her record.
As she appeals to moderate voters and tries to defy Donald J. Trump’s claims that she represents “the radical left,” Ms. Harris is emphasizing her broadest policies — abortion rights, entrepreneurship, help for home buyers and tax relief for families with children. She rarely talks explicitly about...

Oh my, two people needed to write a howler like this, eh?
“Harris Has Been a Voice on Race and Gender. She Doesn’t Broadcast It.”
Why not? She lies about everything else . . .
Yes she’s communist/Marxist and hides it.
Harris needs to emphasize “gender” in her closing arguments.
Everyone has gender (fluid) at the top of their concerns.
As Cartman says “F it! Make it more gay and lame!”
Wow, what a stunning accomplishment! Questionable adjectives to describe woman leaders! I am surprised they didn’t nominate her for a Nobel Peace Prize.....
Didn’t they give Obama a Nobel prize for his campaign speeches (written by his handlers)?
Kamala is a D.E.I. hire. Failing upwards. Incompetent but she just kept moving up.
Non-prosecutor district attorney. No show jobs. Backroom deals and blowjobs. She’s the perfect DemonRat politician - stupid and a whore. Exactly what they want.
“Kamala Harris often tried to use government”
Kamala Harris often tried to weaponize government
Fixed it.
I'm trying to figure out how exactly TF that could be classified, unless they cited the Classified title of the briefings...specifically so they could classify the report.
Well, she loved targeting black men and getting them locked up. Guess they were easy targets for her and helped build her reputation as a tough prosecutor.
ROTFL!! Yeah. Okie Dokie.
IF I WERE THE PAST VOTER ALINE ON EARTH & SHE WAS THE LAST CANDIDATE FOR ANY POSITION-—
I STILL WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR HER.
She hasn’t been a voice for anything except as the tie-breaker Senate vote on a bunch of bad legislation. Otherwise, she’s been an ABSENT, SILENT NOBODY who ignored her primary responsibility of curbing illegal immigration (Border Czar).
It is really pitiful that single-issue women (abortion) in this country are letting this THING be their standard bearer and will vote for her when there are so many others out there who could do the same thing for them. As it is, I see a woman who say’s “I’m voting for Kamala cuz...” and I think, “Well.....there’s a woman that doesn’t need to be procreating...”
.....Harris Has Been a Voice on Race and Gender. She Doesn’t Broadcast It.....
Oh bosh!
This story was REALLY fit to print!
She doesn’t broadcast it because no one listens to her unless she is surrounded by celebrities and Springsteen and Beyonce the Yodeling Cowette.
