Comment on When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Waltz is the DEI hire.

  Yes, he was the first orange person to be hired as president. He was hired despite Hillary getting more votes because he was the DEI candidate.

      Only orange people can say that word now.

  This meme is so inaccurate. Everyone knows he can’t say Kamala. Isn’t it weird people think you should elect someone who can’t even pronounce someone’s name?

    It’s worse than that - it’s like how he and his cronies choose not to call her “Harris” like everyone else calls him “Trump” or the president “Biden.” No one says “Joe,” or “Donald,” or “Barack.” So to add insult to disrespectful injury, they refuse to actually say her name correctly. Hence the “Kamabla” shit he’s been doing too.

      I’ve noticed that too. It was the same with “Hillary.”

      Using the last name is a sign of respect that they don’t think women deserve.

        Yeah I almost used her as an example but I didn’t want to deal with the inevitable “it’s so she isn’t confused with her husband.

      “Kamala” is hard to pronounce, yet they never had a problem with “Barack Hussein Obama pause for the scary middle-eastern/Islamic-sounding name to sink into racist audience”

      And I love when Palin got called out directly for that and she backpedaled so hard, trying to make it sound like they always do that with everyone and started rattling off republican full names like that made a single bit of difference…

      Can we get a truth-o-meter to scrutinize all candidates during debates like they do in futurama?

        Exactly! It’s not hard to pronounce, it’s just not intuitive. I used to say “Ka-MAH-luh” too. One correction and I stopped. “Kah-mah-la” is easy for native English speakers. They are perfectly capable of saying it they just don’t want to.

    His handlers have just barely managed to stop him from cashing her “Kamablack”.
