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.

Donald Trump should offer to trade press coverage.

I wonder if the Dem voters , especially males, will admit to themselves that crybabies and self-pitying privileged types are not qualified and do not have their jobs based on merit but on special affirmative action quotas do not deserve sympathy.

She was not qualified for or well suited to do the California jobs the powerful leader Willie Brown set up for her to take. Then she used her resume to be a minority magnet US Senate candidate in a 70% Dem state and she won.

She won zero primaries and was in the “and less than 1% were...” lists in some. She pulled out of the race after all the money was gone and polls showed people did not want her.

Then Joe Biden backed himself into a corner. No matter if no experience, no aptitude, no anything but being half black and a female, he made a firm promise to take one. There was one in the grab bag so Biden put in his arm and pulled out Kamala. The new VP.

What kind of media help did Trump get?
Possibly 5 or at times 10% favorable according to media watchers.

But many smiling face stories of Kamala at her new office or greeting union workers somewhere every day. Media couldn’t totally cover up for “where is Kamala the border czar?” in border crisis stories.

No. She had the advantage of not being presumed to be a stupid inferior white man. She had to earn her status by talking.

Finally——finally——someone who cares that Kamala has been picked on for not being a white male.

If you spend your time presenting yourself based on your race and gender…don’t be shocked if you are judged based on your race and gender.

Does she mean like DJT? I mean the press is/was always so complimentary of him and his policies. Even today , the media spends hours talking about his many accomplishments and his ability to overcome false narratives and witch hunts.

Race card photo.....

But “We are sorry but your credit limit has been exceeded. Please make a payment or contact our offices for more information.”

Kammie: But Obama told me these stupid things never expired and never had a limit. Times have changed I guess.

I don’t want to bring up the Willie Brown thing, but if she’d been a White guy and been involved with him, she wouldn’t have gotten very far in the pre-Buttigieg era. Not even in San Francisco.

Whore is using race as an excuse and she’s not even black, she’s just an incompetent that doesn’t belong in a stolen position. Joe biden is a disaster and he’s mocked everywhere he goes. He’s also a white man.

Sometimes it’s not racism nor sexism.

Sometimes people just aren’t into you.

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

[Harris] Oh Hillary, what should I do? We women need to stick together.

[Hillary] Totally agree. First, when I’m feeling overwhelmed I like to go jogging in Fort Marcy park.

Afterwards I’ll stop by the Starbucks in upper Georgetown before heading to the airport for a quick single engine Cessna flight to the Keys for some rest and relaxation.

[Harris] Oh Hillary you’re the best. What would I do without you sister.
