In France, Kamala Harris Asserts Herself as a Diplomatic Asset

PARIS — Vice President Kamala Harris spent hours talking with Emmanuel Macron, the French president, managing to skirt a recent diplomatic rift between the two allies over an Australian submarine deal. She attended a conference on promoting democratic elections in Libya. And she secured a commitment for the United States to join a nonbinding international declaration to protect civilians against cyberattacks.

During a tightly choreographed trip to France this week, Harris appeared determined to assert herself as a diplomatic asset for a president who believes he knows more about the process — and the vice presidency — than most.

The trip, coming amid declining approval ratings for President Joe Biden and Harris within the U.S., also provided a chance to cement the global profile of the vice president, who has demonstrated aspirations for higher office.

Symone Sanders, Harris' press secretary and senior adviser, told reporters en route to Paris that dismal new polling reflected “a snapshot in time,” and that Harris was focused on other matters, including a social spending deal.

Allies of the administration treaded gingerly when asked how Harris' performance abroad could change her own political fortunes.

Macron likes older women, doesn’t he?

With her fake French accent, how condescending and clueless can you be?

Obama’s conspirators are giving Harris 1 last chance. But they’ll discard her after the next major gaff or WTF moment. We’ll probably not be able to fill the office and the senate will be gridlock. Best guess? Once it’s obvious “Build Back Better” is dead, she goes.

Macron has no children and married an older woman - his former teachers

He’s likely a closet queer like Obama and the other leftist leaders (Tim Kaine).

I’m sure her Inspector Clouseau accent helped a lot.

I’ve seen this style of writing before. It’s used for incompetent members of victim groups, to make the public think it’s describing a competent professional. I am not fooled.
The only things horizontal harris is competent at is testing mattresses.

Harris speaks ‘word salad’ through her c&nt, as far as I’m concerned. (My apologies, I am tired of today, and very honest.)

“Vice President Kamala Harris spent hours talking with Emmanuel Macron, the French president,”

I wonder did he throw up or laughed his ass off after that conversation?
