  • @BruthaVIII
    Not a "shock moment", but rather a truth moment.
  • @ChrisF-jt1qf
    She was in 8th place in the 2020 convention before she got the VP spot lol
  • @jasonc8307
    The house is still standing and nobody is being held accountable 🤔 Americans are being played like a fiddle.
  • @JD-ul2zj
    He is 100% correct she has no qualifications
  • @augustday9483
    The only thing shocking about that statement is how many people don't realize it yet.
  • @asenath7766
    He's right, she is defintely a DEI hire. Not qualified.
  • @goodtimes217
    Nothing about what he said was shocking, what he said is the truth.
  • @Pwj579
    Where’s the evidence to the contrary , that she isn’t a DEI hire? She’s absolutely unqualified for every job that he’s ever had. The fact is she’s terrible.
  • @IRaoulDuke
    She was and everyone is done pretending otherwise.
  • @joepowell4288
    She was polling at 3% for president? So I call that dei.
  • @jaysouth3330
    Literally why Joe chose her.. he even said so when he chose her.. lol, why the outrage?
  • @mhsandifer

    HARRIS IS NO “AFRICAN AMERICAN” HER MOTHER IS FROM INDIA (not black; dark caucasians) Her Father Jamaican (White and undetermined Caribbean ancestry mixtures possibly some Native DNA
  • She had zero support during the primaries, but suddenly she is the right choice for VP? I don't think so.
  • @user-to4tz5si9f
    She was Obama's pick he was playing the long game and it seems to be playing out.
  • @dougsholly9323
    When you get zero delegate votes and call the other guy running for president a racist, and still get the VP job, what else are we supposed to think?
  • @markcolding8161
    Who, exactly, doesn't think that Kamala wasn't a DEI hire? Not a shock at all.
