Canadian aunt and uncle of Kamala Harris reflect on niece's upbringing, historic achievement
CBC news ^

Posted on 01/17/2021 9:51:47 AM PST by jerod

In the aftermath of the deadly siege on Capitol Hill nearly two weeks ago, vice-president-elect Kamala Harris took some time to call her aunt and uncle in Canada to let them know she was safe.

"These days her life is so busy, they are very brief conversations, but she wanted to show me everything was OK," said Chinni Subash, the younger sister of Harris's late mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, on Rosemary Barton Live.

The vice-president-elect was in Washington, D.C., when a mob of pro-Donald Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 as Congress voted on president-elect Joe Biden's victory in the Nov. 3 election.

As Washington locks down and law enforcement braces for further violence ahead of Wednesday's presidential inauguration, Harris told NPR on Thursday that "we cannot yield to those who would try and make us afraid of who we are."

And she said that when she takes the oath of office outside the Capitol — becoming the first Black woman and person of South Asian descent elected to the vice-presidency — she will be thinking of her mother.

Most of the folks in the capitol were whisked out of the building via the tunnel complex. How many were actually in the building?? No one will tell us. I suspect no more than 25.

Maybe she got her inspiration from Pia Zadora in The Lonely Lady (1983). Worked for her.

historic achievement

Get 1% of the vote in the Democratic primary.

Get "chosen" VP because of your skin color and your willingness to accept Chinese bribes

Get "elected" VP is a blatantly stolen election.

Sounds "historic" to me!

Talk about a classic case of projection?

Isn't she mostly white? And she is busy working on increasing racial hatred against whites?

It still seems incredible to me that a senile pedophile and a tramp managed to win the election. Yeah, I know that fraud had a role here, but for the election to be so close that fraud was able to push them over the top is incredible. The last time we had an outright communist run, he was defeated in a 49 state sweep.

PBW. And giving some oral arguments to willie ain’t exactly historic. Kind takes the shine off the legal profession. Oh, there was no shine.

It's all the Rats know how to do. It's just the first time one of them made it to the VP role by doing it.

Good for CBC that it found a relative to complement her. Her own father won’t.

She’s Canadian.

Grew up in Montreal in a Tamil Indian household.

They pretend she’s from the hood in Oakland.

In the aftermath of the deadly siege... when a mob of pro-Donald Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol...Washington locks down and law enforcement braces for further violence...

They make it sound like the Battle of the Bulge.

WHAH? They aren’t busy taking down their Kwanzaa and Hanukah decorations?

I wonder if they are proud that their little Kamala sucked and $%#@ed her way to power? Something all little girls should aspire to, RIGHT?
