Jill Biden's anger at Harris detailed in new book: 'Do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe?'
FAX News ^ | April 23, 2022 | By Kyle Morris

First lady Jill Biden expressed frustration that Kamala Harris was the top choice for vice president, according to an upcoming book from two New York Times reporters.

An excerpt from Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns' forthcoming book, "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future," describes the vice presidential nomination process during Joe Biden's 2020 campaign.

"'There are millions of people in the United States,' she began. ‘Why,’ she asked, ‘do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe,'" the authors wrote of a conversation Jill Biden had after she learned Harris became a leading candidate to serve as Biden's running mate.

Several from Biden's inner circle, however, supported Harris on the ticket. Ron Klain, now the White House chief of staff, had been tasked with vetting vice presidential candidates and, according to the book, told Biden early on that Harris was most qualified for the job as she had sought the presidency herself.

The book also highlights Biden's own reservations to select Harris as a running mate. Noting her "past romantic relationship with Willie Brown, the former San Francisco mayor who had appointed Harris to a pair of minor political positions," the book said Biden described the behavior "as the kind of thing that should be off limits."

Biden's advisers considered Harris to be the safest choice for winning the White House, even with her history of targeting Biden.

"You know, white women are incredibly racist, as are white men," a close adviser to Biden said in the book. "None of it was safe. It was a risky thing to do. But it was the safest of choices that we had."

The ONLY reason Harris was picked is that she fits in with the Media-Dem Party’s emphasis of race and sexual politics. It certainly wasn’t because she was the biggest intellect of the bunch. Come to think of it, she might have been the biggest intellect of the crop of rotten apples they had to pick from.

I agree with her that Harris shouldn’t have been chosen, but for different reasons. Everyone knows there were two reasons she was chosen, and neither of them have anything to do with her being truly qualified to be “one heartbeat away.”. Her selection was the second most irresponsible thing the Democrats did in 2020, the most irresponsible being running Biden.

If Jill gave a rat’s rear end about demented old Joe, she wouldn’t allow him to go through with this charade as the laughing stock of the world. I submit that most loving wives wouldn’t allow it.

She’s so uncomfortable there it’s almost physically painful to watch.

If Harris were a Republican SNL would have skits every Saturday portraying her as the moron that she is..but since she is a commie Dem, nothing, no skits showing her for what she is, a total idiot, nothing

“... tasked with vetting vice presidential candidates and, according to the book, told Biden early on that Harris was most qualified for the job ...”

That should be a major red flag right there. SHE was the most qualified candidate for the position.

Hairass was the price Biden paid to win the SC primary and the nomination.
