DEI is a strength according to the left. So why are they running away from it now? We all know the answer to that.
You way overestimate the amount anyone other than the fringes of both sides care about DEI. This is the most terminally online topic. The Dems aren't running away from it, they want you to focus your attacks on that, why do you think their controlled media keep asking about it and bringing it up?
As for the actually accuracy of the attack, yeah she was a "DEI" pick, but you could just rename Vice President as the DEI office. Copmala's VP is going to be the most generic boring white man who ever lived specifically because that's the opposite of her and to appeal to certain groups, will that make that a DEI pick? Joe Biden was picked by Obama specifically because he was an old pretty racist white man meant to appeal to people who might not have felt comfortable with Obama, did that make Joe Biden a DEI VP? You could pretty much do this forever with VP's.

Yeah sure, as someone on the left those are things I have an extremely long history of attacking her on. I call her Copmala for a reason. However, do you think the right is going to go with a line of attack that says she's too tough on crime?
This is actually an advantage she has in the 2024 General Election vs the 2020 Dem primary. Her prosecutor record was a massive problem for her in that primary that she had to completely avoid, it's the exact subject that Tulsi hit her with the fatality on, and accurate hits on her are about her being an extremely tough on crime prosecutor to the point of being abusive. It's an amazing area to crush her on, unless you are the GOP and essentially support what she's being attacked for by Tulsi. Tulsi gets cheered here for saying that Copmala fought to keep cash bail in place, is the GOP going to flip and go after her for that?
It's one thing to be tough on crime, it's another to keep an innocent man behind bars or give lighter sentences for people who commit harsh crimes but with give people caught with what is now a legal substance a harder sentence isn't what I call being tough on crime.
Lest we forget that she promoted bailing out rioters in the summer of 2020.
By all means, attack her on it. I'm never going to not call her Copmala and attacking her on this myself. Go for it.

That means it'll be Kentucky Govenor Beshear.
He’s the most generic boring white man in the country. Beshear’s problem is he isn’t comfortable around black folks. If you look up “tight ass white man” in the dictionary you’ll find a picture of Andy.
Yes Joe Biden was a DEI pick. Needed to cover the idiot constituency.

Not to mention his complete lack of knowledge of the situation. Willie had been separated from his wife for nearly 10 years before his relationship with Harris. There was no home to wreck.
Maybe some day the cult members will actually care about facts.
I am sort of curious what he thinks of trump sleeping around on all his wives.

Still counts as married and therefore cheating until they officially got divorced.
Besides, it's just bad optics all around. If your marriage has fallen apart, you don't start dating again until you're actually divorced. That way, you don't give the other person in the dissolving marriage a reason to say you ruined the marriage.

Well, that certainly makes appointing her to two different jobs ok.

As was mentioned...decades old news. And FWIW - Basically nothing happened back then in SF without Brown's say so. He also got Newsom started. Did Gavin sleep his way to the top too?
And I guess I missed when Brown chose Harris to be Biden's running mate...or chose her to replace him as the nominee.
Quote:Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee 11 days ago, yet she has not engaged in a substantial interview nor a press conference since then. Election Day is 95 days away, and early voting will begin much sooner.
After Hollywood elites, top Democrats, and donors reportedly forced President Joe Biden out as the party’s presumptive presidential nominee, he quickly endorsed Harris after stepping down from the race on July 21. She subsequently received support from top Democrats and became the presumptive nominee by July 22.
Yet, Harris has gone twelve days since Biden bowed out and eleven days since securing enough delegates for the nomination without doing a robust interview or press conference, as Fox News’s Brian Flood pointed out, allowing her to skirt key questions on major policy issues like the economy, inflation, immigration, national security, and more.
Instead over the past week and a half Harris has largely communicated with Americans through speeches and addresses, where she can focus on the issues she wants to talk about, like abortion, without the threat of fielding a question on policy, where she is inherently tied to Biden’s historically bad legacy. She has, however, had minor engagements with reporters on the trail, according to Fox News.
During the 2020 campaign, Biden caught heat for campaigning from what former President Donald Trump called Biden’s “basement.”
“We have a sleepy guy in the basement of a house that the press is giving a free pass to, who doesn’t want to do debates because of Covid,” Trump famously said in April 2020.
While some argue Biden’s strategy included running out the clock by giving press conferences and interviews only sparingly, it did not keep him from the White House, as one expert told Fox News Digital.
Jeffrey McCall, a media studies professor at DePauw University, told Fox News that Harris’s team is “well aware that Biden dodged the media throughout his 2020 campaign and still got elected.”
Engaging with the media, regarded for hundreds of years as the fourth estate or fourth unofficial check in the balance of government power, would force Harris to defend her record.
McCall said:
The Harris camp is also well aware that their candidate doesn’t do well in unscripted settings, not to mention that a presser or legitimate sit-down interview would necessarily require her to defend some of her positions, previous statements and record. Thus, a rerun of the Biden basement campaign sounds pretty good, as long as you throw in a couple of rallies with Megan Thee Stallion.
He added it would benefit Harris from a “rhetorical strategy standpoint” to engage with the press.
“At some point, it would seem, she’ll have to attract moderates or undecided voters who want to see her take questions,” he said.

LOL ..... NO Newsome didn't sleep his way to the top with Brown, but kamala actually DID!!! That's the point! It's also why kamala got the free BMW from a grateful Willie (pun intended).
RE: Kamala Harris Is Evading Press Conferences - Why?
It's Biden Playbook 2.0. Instead of complete hiding in the bunker, keep her protected for as long as absolutely possible. Stay on the feel good tour waving, smiling and cackling. No stumbling word salads.
