Kamala Harris blames racism, sexism for failures but she was elected BECAUSE of race and gender: Meghan McCain
In a write-up for Dailymail.com, Meghan McCain commented on Kamala
Harris and her apparent reasons for her failures as Vice President of
the US. Referring to The New York Times’ ‘Heir Apparent or Afterthought?
The Frustrations of Kamala Harris’, McCain claimed that Harris’
complaints regarding racism and sexism for her dereliction were baseless
since it was her race and gender that got her the reputable position.
The December 23 article by The NYT has also stated that though President Joe Biden needed the 57-year-old for winning the 2020 presidential election,
he “does not need her to govern.” The piece claimed, “according to
interviews with more than two dozen White House officials, political
allies, elected officials and former aides, Harris
is still struggling to define herself in the Biden White House or
meaningfully correct what she and her aides feel is an unfair perception
that she is adrift in the job.”
It added: “Faced with declining approval ratings, a series of staff departures and a drumbeat of criticism from Republicans
and the conservative news media, she has turned to powerful
confidantes, including Hillary Clinton, to help plot a path forward.
Harris has privately told her allies that the news coverage of her would
be different if she were any of her 48 predecessors, all of whom were
white and male.”
But McCain completely disagreed with the NYT
write-up and said that criticisms and low approval ratings for Harris
were not because she’s a woman of color. She suggested, “If I were Vice
President Harris and was currently holding historically low approval
ratings (as of December 22, the FiveThirtyEight average of polls showed
47% of the American public disapproving of the job she is doing) and had
just come off a string of bad press appearances (including being spoken
down to by Comedy Central host Charlamagne tha God) I would be doing
some serious, aggressive and intense soul searching over my role in the
Biden administration, before it is truly too late.”
The
37-year-old TV personality noted, “I would be spending my holiday season
doing concentrated media prep with seasoned strategists, close
confidantes and family. I doubt she will be doing this from what can be
gathered in the New York Times piece.”
McCain also went on to
point out how several of Harris' staffers left her office within the
first year of her term. She gave an example of her dad’s chief of staff,
who worked for him for over three decades. She stated, “Many staffers
who worked in my dad's office worked there for decades, many of them
married fellow staffers. Many, many of them are considered family by my
family and we still maintain close relationships. It is not a foregone
conclusion that staffers rotate in and out of the offices of politicians
like a turnstile in a subway station. In fact, most of the greats,
including President Joe Biden, have long-time and loyal staff who stay
because they are inspired by the principal, and can't imagine working
anywhere else,” before mentioning, “Most of the huge turnover rate
people are known to have bad reputations and be lame duck politicians.”

If you are a clueless idiot you are unlikely to either recognize nor admit that you are in fact a clueless idiot. Therefore you blame your failures on something beyond yourself and largely or completely beyond your control. It is completely understandable. It is horseshit, but it is understandable horseshit.
