Why Joe Biden Has His Eye on Karen Bass
The Atlantic ^ | July 13, 2020 | Edward-Isaac Dovere

Posted on 07/13/2020 8:04:59 AM PDT by ripnbang

"The first time Representative Karen Bass heard Joe Biden talk about the car crash that killed his wife and infant daughter, she dropped into her chair, overwhelmed.

It was 2008, and Bass was watching the Democratic National Convention video introducing Biden as the party’s vice-presidential nominee. Less than two years earlier, Bass’s daughter and son-in-law had died in a car crash on the 405. Bass, then in her 50s, had thrown herself into her job as the speaker of the California assembly and hoped to get past the pain. But there was Biden, 36 years after the tragedy that shattered his family, still talking about the magnitude of his loss. “I had this moment,” Bass told me, “where I had to come to grips with the fact that losing my daughter and son-in-law was always going to be a part of the narrative of who I am.”

Four years later, as Biden and Barack Obama were being reelected, Bass won a seat in the House, representing parts of Los Angeles. But she didn’t tell Biden what he’d meant to her until this March, when she introduced him at a Super Tuesday chicken-and-waffles event. “We both just shared that you learn how to get up in the morning,” she told me. “You learn how to live, but your life is fundamentally changed, dramatically changed......”

He needs someone more stupid than he is to make him look good.

Another fantasy of propaganda. Karen Bass is a liberal and as such has no empathy or feelings for others. It’s an act and a sham.

Biden’s VP pick will HAVE TO BE a black woman.

And she will be just the thing to turn off black men, who are tired of dealing with angry,entitled black women in their lives.

I just googled her. I wish I hadn't. Seems she is/was an actress in addition to a politician. She was in a movie named "Burn Mother****er Burn". She has a husband named Jesus. Yes that's what America needs, her one step away from the "football". *😳*

Rice is scary. Even more than Harris.

She was not an actress in that. It was a documentary, and she was interviewed there.

I assume as we speak, that somebody is hunting down the movie and extracting her segment. It was a nasty, anti-white documentary.

Thanks for the clarification (although her NOT ACTING, but being interviewed for the documentary is EVEN WORSE!).

“Karen”? He is considering a woman named Karen? Have the Democrats given even one split second’s thought to the hayday the Republicans can have with that?

That is just too, too perfect.

Do it, Joe!
