Valerie Jarrett: Dem Candidate Should Choose ‘Running Mate That’s A Woman Of Color’
breitbart ^ | 3-3-2020 | Trent Baker

Former President Barack Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett on Tuesday urged whichever 2020 Democratic presidential candidate emerges as the leader after the conclusion of Super Tuesday to “break with conventional wisdom and announce a running mate that’s a woman of color,” especially if it is Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), former Vice President Joe Biden or former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Jarrett explained on CBS’s “This Morning” that “these are not normal times” and argued having a woman of color “would send an important signal” heading into the next round of primaries.

“I think that whoever emerges tonight, particularly if it’s Bernie Sanders, if it’s Vice President Biden or even if it’s Mayor Bloomberg, what I would do is break with conventional wisdom and announce a running mate that’s a woman of color,” Jarrett stated before being cut off.

“Tonight?” asked host Gayle King.

“No, not tonight,” Jarrett replied. “Certainly before the next primary. Woman, person of color, someone who reflects the diversity of our party.

Woman of Color? Which color? Maybe a real American from the reservations? A woman from Mott and Pell Streets? We are a nation of many colors not just 2 that aren’t actually colors. I prefer anyone, of any color that is qualified to run the country, and is not influenced or controlled by the Media and owned by big $$$$$$.

Women of color? Some credentials. Because of that, I am wary of women of color because that may be their only qualification.

If you've dealt with any state or federal government office in recent years, you already know that your wariness is not based on conjecture.

The VP selection of Biden has an excellent chance of finishing out Biden’s term. Actually Sanders term also.
Makes their VP picks extremely important.
Downright scary. Stacy Abrams name tossed around. ARGH

So any woman then? After all every human being is a person of color. Not one of us is invisible!

Sheila Jackson Lee is out due to triggering tantrums about the Confederacy.

That leaves experienced stateswomen Maxine Waters, and the South Florida Congresswoman who wears tiny cowboy hats.

According to a couple of slips of the tongue by the Obozo while on camera, I believe her birth name is Michael.

Why not the current or former black female mayors of successful Democrat cities like Baltimore, Chicago, DC, etc? I think there’s a lot to choose from.

I can’t think of one that’s qualified, IMO.

Kamala H. ...Nope. Not eligible per Constitution.
Stacy A. ...Just NO.
Michelle O. ...Hell NO!

Why not make AN AMERICAN WHO LOVES HIS/HER COUNTRY the first requirement? What the **** does “a woman of color” have to do with anything? That kind of thinking if just plain ****ing over the top retarded.

LOL! I haven’t heard that name in years! She was hilarious! But you know, if she’s not available, there’s always Oprah.
