Harris Has Been a Voice on Race and Gender. She Doesn’t Broadcast It.

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...

“Harris Has Been a Voice on Race and Gender. She Doesn’t Broadcast It.”

Why not? She lies about everything else . . .

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.

Kamala Harris hasn't done anything to earn any of the positions she has held. She ran for senate unopposed by a republican. She was chosen for vice president because she was the least black person on Joe Biden's list of black women. She was selected to be the democrat nominee without receiving even one vote. She was put into the prosecutors office by a married man she was screwing. He also put her on the board of some medical group that paid her $120,000 a year. She only had to show up once a week and she still missed 20% of her days. What does this woman have in common with Americans? I suggest people listen to Candace Owens latest interview with judge Joe Brown. He has a lot of information about Kamala and her family.

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...”

She doesn’t broadcast it because no one listens to her unless she is surrounded by celebrities and Springsteen and Beyonce the Yodeling Cowette.
