Kamala Harris settled on picking Tim Walz to be her running mate last year because she felt Americans were too racist, antisemitic and homophobic to accept her preferred option – Pete Buttigieg.
In an excerpt from the former vice president’s forthcoming book, “107 Days,” obtained by The Atlantic magazine, Harris describes Buttigieg as her “first choice” but later deemed the openly gay former transportation secretary to be “too big of a risk” on the ticket.
Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner —if I were a straight white man,” Harris wrote.
“But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man,” she continued. “Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.”
“And I think Pete also knew that — to our mutual sadness.”

so shes saying the Dem voter base would probably reject the potential other candidates.... interesting take.
Did she say how much booze she had gulped down before she made the decision to chose Tiny Timmy the RETARDED Elmer Fudd look alike? “I’m huntin’ wabbits.”
Two utter failures, with not a single good policy success between them, teaming up as DEI tokens was her first choice. Does that surprise anyone?
” Americans were too racist, antisemitic and homophobic”
Who wants a president so scornful of the people whom she governs?
This is so typical of liberals. They think that America is morally and intellectually beneath them.
Biden felt the same way. Harris wasn’t his first pick but the left needed a woman of color who was ignorant, incapable of talking coherently and known for sleeping her way to the top.
Big Bird would have been a good pick. I think he likes yellow busses too.
Pee Wee Herman could not be reached for comment.
I’m still gobsmacked they settled on someone even more weird than Tim Kaine.
Then you look at the choices out there . . .
I would assume that Shapiro would’ve been her first choice.
They are both gay, so Whats the difference?<p[ Both are married to men or femosts, just one wife wears a dress.
Yeah, picking a Sodomite who chest feeds an innocent baby and is married to another man probably would not have gone over too well outside of New York, Chicago, California, Oregon and Washington State and Washington DC
Newsflash - Half and Half still denouncing Half of Half
Identity politics is just rancid. Do they even listen to themselves?
Mrs. Clinton and her toadies embraced this notion that America must vote for the individual equipped with a vagina, “or you hate women” regardless of their policies or political philosophy. What is Buttigeig’s claim to fame other than a homosexual? What is it about weird sexual preferences, that makes him anything an otherwise unremarkable politician? I categorically reject these types of assertions.
No Kamilla, those are two of the most disgusting and stupid guys you could have picked. You wouldn’t have won, no matter who you picked. Go be the governor of California. You’ll fit in there perfectly.
The racist, anti-Semitic homophobe is Harris. She's simply projecting her own biases on her political enemies.
YO TIMMY! Did you hear what the drunk is saying about you? You weren’t her first choice. ROTFL! You look too Elmer Fuddish! She wanted Buttigieg because he sounded more Daffy Duckish with his lisp.
“ Shapiro would’ve been her first choice.”
Reading the article, I figured it was Shapiro, not the feckless, incompetent Butt.
So closet gay instead of openly gay.
