NY Times: Kamala Harris gripes her media coverage would be better if she was White man

Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly expressing discontent with the news coverage surrounding her performance as the nation's second-highest office holder, citing her race and gender.

According to a piece by The New York Times, Harris has been privately complaining to her allies that the media's coverage of her would be better if she were any of her 48 White male predecessors,

[snip]

The Times' piece, which focused on Harris' struggle to "define herself" within the Biden White House, noted that she held no "headlining role" when it came to some of the administration's most difficult decisions

[snip]

The Times noted Harris' historically low approval rating

[snip]

she was reaching out to prominent figures like Hillary Clinton to help determine her future direction.

[snip]

"She also has confided in them [staff] about the difficulties she is facing with the intractable issues in her portfolio, such as voting rights and the root causes of migration."

[snip]

The Times also expanded on the counsel [Hillary] Clinton gave Harris about being in her position as a woman in politics.

[snip]

The Times added that the two speak over the phone every few months and Clinton has visited Harris in her office.

[snip]

Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., also defended Harris to The Times, claiming there was a double standard that went further than Harris' gender.

"I know, and we all knew, that she would have a difficult time because anytime you’re a ‘first,’ you do,’" Bass said. "And to be the first woman vice president, to be the first Black, Asian woman, that’s a triple. So we knew it was going to be rough, but it has been relentless, and I think extremely unfair."

Bass added that she thought Harris was already the front-runner to be the next Democratic presidential nominee, despite it not being immediately clear if Biden planned to run for reelection in 2024.

Does she really want better coverage? Or just more favorable coverage…?
Because if the media covered her actions in greater detail, we would all see much more clearly how little she actually does, knows, and thinks.
She is a buffoon that is only smart enough to use her sex, her gender, her race(s) to advance.

As a straight White male, I sometimes am embarrassed by the constant adulation by the media.

Well bless her heart. People like her are never happy and blame others for whatever they do not like in their lives.. They are never happy. I have noticed that most dems are that way. Merry Christmas.

It would help her if she were eligible to hold the position.

Must be nice to always have something to blame your failures on. Yeah, like white males always get fawning coverage. Just look at Donald Trump!

If she only were a white man;
If she only had a brain;
If she only had a heart;
If she only had the nerve;
We’re off to see the Wizard.

If “ifs” and “buts”
Were candy and nuts,
Everyday would be Christmas.

Can she give even one example of a white man who came into a position of authority based on nothing more his sexual proclivities?

Other than Pete Buttigig?

“.. Kamala Harris gripes her media coverage would be better if she was White man..”

The only difference would be swearing at you in gender appropriate terms.

If she was a white man, and otherwise the same person, she wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near the White House.

But the only reason you're VP is because you're black and female. If you were white and male, you'd still be a lowly attorney in Oakland.

She’s not a likable human being. She’s a vindictive dirty b*tch.

I thought you could change your sex, and ethnicity to whatever you wanted these days. What’s stopping her from coming out as a white man? And while she’s at it, maybe she can get Moochie Obama to come clean.

Yeah, Kommie-la . . . just ask Donald Trump about that. . . .

I was gonna say dat but I’m glad somebody did. Wonder what Doug thinks of his wife’s comments? He’s probably so leftist that he encourages stupid remarks and hasn’t got sense enough to realize his own kind are being disrespected.......good grief!

If she were a white man, she wouldn’t be anywhere near where she is.

That's right.

I'm beginning to think that being a prostitute helped her with Democrat voters.

White men can no longer find a job in a commercials.

She is married to a white man. Can’t she get on his plan? And if she was married to a black man, how would the plan vary? I didn’t realize health insurers were scaling premium rates by race...

When all else fails, use the race card.
