Melinda French Gates explains why she's endorsing Kamala Harris, talks new YouTube series and more

Philanthropist Melinda French Gates said she is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.

French Gates, who said she has never before endorsed a candidate, said the likely Democratic nominee is the "right candidate, right now" in an interview on "CBS Mornings."

"She has believed in women's reproductive freedom from the beginning of her career, and that got rolled back under previous administrations. She knows what society is up against now. She's for paid family medical leave. She's for caregiving ... She has always been outspoken on these topics, and I think she's a woman of our time."

On a personal level, French Gates said she thought about the next generation and her 16-month-old granddaughter while endorsing Harris.

"She will grow up, if Kamala is the president, saying, 'I can be at the highest position in the land.' Look what that says to young women, just like look what it said to young Black men when Barack Obama became president."

She endorsed Biden just a few weeks ago, arguing he was a brilliant and fully capable man. LOL.

they’re stuck in thinking that women should have any random sex they want without doing the easiest thing possible to stop another human being the obvious result.

I still say it's because - for a certain demographic - getting pregnant and sticking the father/government with child support payments is considered one of the few valid career paths open to them. It isn't about sex for pleasure for these women, it's a business decision - and one they need the "right to choose" to back out of if a better option comes along.

Looks like Kamala has the Billionaire First Wives Club vote locked down.

Oh, cells aren’t children yet. And bringing a child into the world unwanted is cruel. And no one should control a woman’s body.

Look, she loves her children, and had difficulties having them at all. But she’s never going to be dumbfounded by any pro-life challenge. Her mind is set and armored. She has her slogans to cast back.

Kennedy Democrats, the whole family. Irish, pro-union, progressive, diversity is wonderful, look at the diverse people I know, the primacy of individual conscience.

Anyone seeing anything hood in Harris, has a warped sense of good.
She is anti America and not enough brain to handle a job..

It’s a ‘self’ decision..
They want self taken care of.. No thought of our country, and making it the best.

“look what it said to young Black men when Barack Obama became president.”

What “it said” to young men, White or black, when Obummer became president is that a lazy, commie, conman can win the highest office in the land if the electorate is stupid enough.

Women’s reproductive freedom = murdering children in the womb. Now that’s something hard to defend.
