I can see the lies about her are already out in full force, starting with questioning her citizenship, as well as memes of things she never said - except one, which granted, was kinda dumb (the "now-in-context-of-what-came-before" one) - but name a president who hasn't said something dumb at one point or another?
In my lifetime - despite some being highly intelligent - I've heard all of our presidents say "dumb" things at some point or another.
In fact, I can think of one very recently that says dumb stuff on a regular basis, nearly every day, that's way worse - remember the speech where he postulated that injecting bleach, or even just "light" in the body, could kill COVID? 😂
But the truth is, we all say dumb things, now and then, even highly intelligent people.
So I thought I'd share some video excerpts of things she DID say below.
Not sure why some Trumpers are focused on her ethnicity and citizenship - same thing we saw with Obama - and it's racist.
It's racist is because they only do this with presidential candidates of color.
As hated as Hillary was by Trumpers, nobody ever questioned if SHE was a natural-born citizen or requested to see HER birth certificate, now did they? 😉
Kamala may be energetic, smiley, goofy, and "cackley" during event interactions, but when she's actually on the job, she doesn't play - she is calm, articulate, pointed and succinct, and tough when she needs to be.
Also, unlike other members of congress, she does not spend her time with rhetoric just to hear the sound of her own voice, and she also does not back down or allow herself to get distracted. She holds on and will not let go until they answer the question, she's like a pit bull, that way (or more like a fox terrier) - and I love it!
This is how she began to stand out from the crowd in the Senate and why she is where she is now - and it's also is why Trumpers so afraid of her (in addition to her being a woman of color! 😂
This is Kamala Harris in action, grilling people during congressional hearings during her time as a senator ...
Kamala Harris VS. former Attorney General Barr on whether then-President Trump ever asked or suggested that he (Barr) open investigations on anyone (political opponents) ...
😂😂😂😂
Some other times she effectively grilled people during Senate hearings included leaving Jeff Sessions, Brett Kavanaugh, Gina Haspel (former Director of the CIA) bumbling, regarding whether or not they had direct contact with Russian officials and/or (inappropriate) contact with Robert Mueller's investigation team that had not be previously disclosed.
Here are the facts:
She was born in Oakland, California - that makes her a natural-born US citizen.
Her parents were legal immigrants from India and Jamaica, both on scholarships to UC - Berkley.
I am not sure about her parents' citizenship status, either at the time of her birth or now (her mother is deceased) but it does not matter - Kamala is a natural-born citizen, which according to the US constitution, makes Kamala eligible for presidency.
(Our founding fathers, of course, had no clause for parental immigration status because many of their own parents were immigrants, at that time.)
Of course, she will produce a birth certificate as proof, with the California state seal, and still, they'll say it's forged - which again, they only do with candidates of color.😂
Her mother was a breast-cancer researcher, helping to identify the hormone receptors that I wrote about in this post.
Her father is an economics professor at Stanford.
Her parents divorced when she was 7.
She moved to Canada at age 12 because her mother accepted a research position in Montreal, and she lived there for 7 years, after which she returned to the U.S. to attend Howard University, while her mother returned to UC-Berkley for another research position.
That does NOT make her "raised in Canada." It means she moved with her mother for a job as a minor, for 7 years, then returned back to America to attend Howard University and then UCSF law school.
Oh, are we penalizing people for even partial education elsewhere, now?
Because that's not in our constitution - many of our founding fathers were educated elsewhere.
If we are, then perhaps we should start by ruling out anyone who ever studied in Europe, even for a semester, which includes some current members of Congress.
As for Kamala, she was a minor child and just went to junior high/high school there, but went to elementary school, college, and law school here in America.
One of the reasons she became a lawyer was after a friend in high school was molested by her stepfather and witnessing first-hand the legal snafus in place when women and children try to seek justice, and protecting them became her priority, as well as violent crime.
She became the DA of San Francisco, and was, at times, an overly tough prosecutor, by her own admission - that is the only thing true about her being said.
She later became Attorney General and then a Senator.
She met entertainment lawyer, Doug Emhoff, on a blind date in 2013 and they married a year later.
He had been previously married, but had divorced in 2008 (so no, he was NOT married when they met, he'd been divorced for 5 years - as IF Trumpers care about extramarital affairs anymore, anyway.)
Hilarious, how desperate Trumpers are - they got nothing, so they make it up! 😂
She's further left than Biden on abortion rights, and she's also for more equity in Israeli/Palestinian rights, so get ready.
You should be careful what you wish for, with Biden gone, Trumpers - he was considered moderate. Kamal isn't far left, but she's solidly left.
As for her pick for running mate, I was initially curious as to whether they would "flip it" - she would be the presidential candidate and Biden would be VP - but his health likely would prevent it now.
I don't care much for Gavin Newsome - he's said some dumb stuff about homelessness in LA, among other things. He's also too slick, almost smarmy. He's funny, but smarmy. There's just something about him I don't trust.
Plus he was previously married to screeching Kimberly Guilfoyle, now girlfriend of Donald Jr, a hard-right Trumper and fruit loop - WTF?
I know they're divorced but still, of all people, what was the common ground there?
Sometimes he can sound a bit elitist/out of touch with everyday Americans, so perhaps that was it?
I'd love it if it were Gretchen Whitmer - and I'd especially love to see "Big Gretch" take on Trump or JD Vance in a debate - but two women likely wouldn't win.
Cory Booker might work?
Also wondering about Adam Schiff?
I'd also like to see Jamie Raskin, but not sure how he's doing after cancer treatment.
We shall see.
