Vice President Kamala Harris (D) faced backlash online Friday afternoon after saying that the Biden administration was prioritizing giving disaster relief to minorities for the sake of “equity” because the administration wants everyone to end up “in an equal place.”
Harris made the remarks during a discussion with leftist Priyanka Chopra at the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C.
“It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making,” Harris claimed. “And so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place.”
She added, “And if we want people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities and do that work.”

AEI fellow Sadanand Dhume responded, “Why do they make everything about race and gender?”
“If a hurricane hits a state, we should expect the government to help all those affected: black, brown white, purple, green,” he added. “And there’s no such thing as ‘communities of color.’ Real people don’t talk like this.”
Political commentator Ken Gardner tweeted: “This has to violate at least a dozen federal and state anti-discrimination laws. Not to mention the 14th Amendment.”

P
Not true. For the most part 'low income' is the result of many bad choices - - 'of their own making'...Not always but often enough that Kamala's nuts.
I’d say it’s unbelievable, but nothing is anymore with these despots.
The highest income folks that live on the coast had their homes destroyed. Second were the retirement mobile home communities in Charlotte County.
She is crazy before having any data she makes a Woke stupid statement with no basis in reality
Even Deep State shenanigans won’t off set the Rat party slaughter come Nov. I can’t wait for the meltdown.
The president is senile and the VP is an idiot.
We do have a problem.
Her remark would be funny if she were anyone else, Al Sharpton for instance, but she is the VP, constantly claiming to be for equality while in the same breath spitting out racist theories.
Her gaffs are intentional.
PLEASE impeach him AND me.
This has all been a lark to her 'til now . . . . NOW people may actually die because she's nothing more than a dumb ho.
.... and she knows it.
I don’t know. SWFL looks pretty white to me. Why not just send the disaster funds straight to Chicago. Who in DC cares if these red state voters suffer anyway?
VP kameltoela is an ignoramous
What she proposed IS racist.
She was perfectly serious. She intends to distribute hurricane relief based on the color of the recipients’ skin. Let that sink in.
Ain't that the truth.
Marxist/Socialist, all the way.
“The president is senile and the VP is an idiot.
We do have a problem.”
LMAO. Well said tho I LMAO when I read it.
Biden’s paying off his two “high/low” bases big time.
Lots of money for bored white liberal ‘elites’ (climate change kooks and academia blowhards) grants and student loan payoffs for the ‘high’ base (yes, it’s the colleges that will receive the benefit of ‘student loan payoffs)..
Then cash grants, aid for ‘disabled who play the system’, student loan payoffs, more nonprofits and ‘community’ grants...
Biden’s buying his base... don’t count them out.
Nope....it didn't affect the 2020 election...Why would it affect the 2022 election...Whats your point?.../s
Blasted by who? Certainly not our Mainstream Propaganda agencies.
