In the history of Vice-Presidents, Kamala Harris is “historic,” according to Democrats. What they leave off is the “-ally bad” at the end of it. She is horrible at her job, at speaking, and as a person. Having slept her way into politics, she’s been a disgrace to our species and her gender ever since. But imagine having her on your team and having to pretend she’s more than just the awful culmination of bad decisions; that she’s actually something special. Gross.
Yet, this is what Democrats have to do. Joe Biden picked her as a running mate for the simple reasons that she was both black and a woman. While Democrats still obsess over skin color, they’ve since forgotten what a woman is.
Now they find themselves desperate for campaign cash – polishing a turd isn’t cheap – and they have no choice but to use one of the few people in politics who is less popular than the President to raise money.
“Hey Derek, it’s Doug,” the email from Kamala’s husband opens, “As the first-ever Second Gentleman of the United States, it’s been my honor to witness Joe and Kamala’s leadership as they deliver results for working families all over the country.”
“Doug” is Doug Emhoff, someone Kamala loved so deeply she never even contemplated taking his last name. She’d already established herself, not getting married until 2014 when she was 50, so she was much more likely to have kids than give up on the brand she’d worked so hard with Willie Brown to establish. As it turns out, it was too late to do either.
But honestly, when did the spouse of the VP become someone anyone saw as a marketable force for fundraising? Tipper Gore wasn’t a media star, Lynne Cheney kept her business to herself, even Jill Biden wasn’t being an obnoxious Second Lady, mostly because no one gave a damn about her. Karen Pence I had to look up since the media never really bothered to report on her at all.
But Doug Emhoff, look out!
He is, of course, worth millions because no Democrat would give someone the time of day if they weren’t. He’s also a tool, a fundraising tool for Democrats, “signing” a lot of emails because he’s the first male married to a female VP with the added “historic” marker that she happens to be black. Democrats celebrate the dumbest things.
“And today marks three years since Kamala officially joined the ticket,” it continues. “I am amazed by all the progress she and Joe have made over these last few years -- and to be honest, I am not sure we knew three years ago how much of an impact their work would have on improving the lives of so many Americans.” People struggling to pay your bills rejoice, Joe and Kamala have made it better for…rich people.
“Kamala’s work speaks for itself: She helped make the first significant federal gun safety legislation in nearly three decades a reality. She’s worked diligently to protect Americans’ fundamental rights and voices at the ballot box. On top of all that, she hit the campaign trail in the midterms, helping Democrats win tough races all over the country -- adding Democratic governors, holding the U.S. Senate, and running closer than anyone thought possible in the House.” No mention of her “leadership” on the southern border and the bang-up job she’s done there.
Then the lawyer worth millions gets to the whole point of the email: your wallet.
“It’s been my honor to have a front row seat to Kamala’s work, but there’s still so much progress left to be made,” the conclusion starts. “That’s why I’m asking you to chip in what you can to support Joe and Kamala’s reelection campaign. We’re counting on grassroots donors to power this campaign. Can you pitch in a $25 donation right now to help?”
I honestly don’t know how these people live with themselves – being filthy rich while trying to con poor people out of their money. Who cares what he had a “front row seat” for, he’s only in his position because of who he’s sleeping with. Come to think of it, that’s why Kamala is in politics too. Now it all makes sense.
