Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams blamed Vice President Kamala Harris' unpopularity on none other than "racism."
Playing the race card, the two-time failed Democrat told MSNBC's Jen Psaki that Harris wouldn't be struggling in the polls if she were a man and white.
Psaki asked Abrams if she thought, as "a prominent woman of color who's run for office," Harris would receive the same critiques if she were White.
"No," Abrams declared. "We will always question the person behind the person. But we cannot ignore the misogyny and racism that remain very prevalent in our politics. And for those behaviors that don't rise to either misogyny or racism, there's also just a difference. Our expectations are set for the traditional White male vice president."
Abrams claimed that the vice president is "castigated" only because of her race and gender.

According to a June NBC News poll, nearly 50 percent of voters had a negative outlook on Harris, compared to just 32 percent who viewed her favorably.
Since then, Harris has achieved a net favorability rating of -17, the lowest a vice president has gotten in the poll's history.
Ashley Allison, one of Harris' former staffers and current CNN political commentator, also blamed the vice president's low approval rating on her being a "Black woman," claiming she is a "history maker."
"I think this is happening for a couple of reasons. Most people don't know what vice presidents do. And now she is a history maker. She is a woman, she is a Black woman, and it's the easy thing to do to say she's the attack dog; go after her," Allison stated.
Earlier this year, I reported that President Joe Biden has been unhappy with Harris' job in the White House.
The tension in their relationship stems from Harris's inability to help Biden with his so-called "long" list of to-dos.
Critics have repeatedly questioned whether Harris even knows how to do her job— given that she was put in charge of the southern border, and we all know how that turned out.
