Is Harris Antisemitic and Homophobic? Her book suggests so.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s new memoir 107 Days was meant to offer a behind-the-scenes look at her whirlwind presidential campaign and a steppingstone to a 2028 bid for the Democrat presidential nomination. Instead, it has ignited a firestorm of criticism—not just for its political revelations, but for what it suggests about Harris’s own opinions. Her comments about Pete Buttigieg and Josh Shapiro have raised serious questions not only about her judgment and her own prejudices but also her assumptions about the American electorate. They suggest that she … more than the American people … harbors antisemitic and homophobic prejudices.
At the onset of her campaign, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was being touted by the political establishment as the strongest pick as a running mate. He was governor of a critical must-win swing state with widespread support across Pennsylvania, including in deeply conservative areas.
Many Democrats –and Republicans (this writer included) — believed Shapiro would be the strongest candidate to join her ticket. Jewish Americans like Shapiro, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have risen to high office without their faith being a political liability. To suggest that Shapiro’s Jewishness was a barrier to national acceptance is not only inaccurate—it is offensive. It is antisemitic.
According to excerpts published by The Atlantic, Harris considered Buttigieg her top choice for running mate but ultimately deemed him “too risky” because he is gay. Buttigieg, despite being openly gay, was elected mayor of South Bend in the very conservative state of Indiana—and ran a credible campaign for president in 2020. His sexual orientation was never a disqualifying factor in the eyes of voters.
She wrote, “We were already asking a lot of America to accept a woman … a Black woman. …, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, screw it let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk”.
Now let us ponder this. If a gay guy was applying for a job and the potential employer rejects him solely on the basis of his sexual orientation, that would be a violation of the law – and the left-wing establishment would go nuts. Despite all of Buttigieg’s qualifications, she rejected him for only one reason. He is gay. That is homophobic.
America has already proven it is capable of embracing diversity in leadership. Barack Obama’s election as the first Black president and Harris’ own rise to Vice President are powerful testaments to that.
Yet Harris’s memoir suggests she saw Shapiro and Buttigieg as detriments to the ticket based solely on being Jewish and one being gay. That is not just a strategic miscalculation—it’s a reflection of her own prejudices. By projecting her fears onto the electorate, Harris reveals more about her own intolerance than that of the voters she claims to understand.
Harris’s defenders argue that she was simply being pragmatic, weighing the risks of a ticket that might challenge voters’ comfort zones. (Again, putting it on the voters.) But that defense falls flat. If Harris truly believed Buttigieg was the best choice, she should have picked him. If she respected Shapiro’s record, she should have looked past any personal discomfort she may have felt. Instead, she chose to play it safe as she saw it—and in doing so, revealed both a lack of faith in the very electorate she hopes to lead and her own internal prejudices.
Even Buttigieg seemed taken aback by Harris’s rationale. In response to the memoir, he said, “My experience in politics has been that the way that you earn trust with voters is based mostly on what they think you’re going to do for their lives, not on categories”. That statement underscores a fundamental truth. The American people care more about competence and character than identity politics. Harris’ fails to recognize that it is a glaring flaw in her political instincts.
Ironically, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz may be seen as a DEI pick in reverse. She was playing the identity politics game by opting for an older White Christian male. That smacks of White supremacy – and her choice may well have cost her the election. It was the DEI game that had President Biden making a Black woman the only consideration for his running mate. And how well did that turn out for him and the Democratic Party in the long run?
The backlash from within her own party has been swift. Democratic operatives and insiders have expressed confusion and frustration over Harris’ reasoning and political acumen. To add insult to injury, Harris used her book to take pot shots at fellow Democrats. Her decision to air grievances and settle scores with various other Democrat colleagues – including President Biden – did not sit well.
What we have seen so far from the excerpts, her memoir reads more like a political autopsy than a roadmap for the future – as she may perceive it. With each strategic revelation, Harris sinks her out-of-the-gate longshot chance for the 2028 Democrat presidential nomination further and further into the political abyss.
So, there ‘tis.
New hater queer hater America hater. Freedom hater. Free speech hater. White hater. Yes. Even her husband. He’s just another boy toy. She has all of the qualities of a Marxist cunt. But thankfully the majority of American voters saw through her cackling and word salads
I was going to say, “hey Larry, finally someone you can sell more books than,” and then I looked it up and saw she’s on the NYTimes best seller book. Silly liberals. I have not read the book, saw the experts, am done funding Harris for now, and perhaps forever.
While not an outright pan, most critics are critical of the book. She may have thought this was a step to the Presidency, but dissing her teammates to get there sort of back up the behavior we saw her display with Biden at the first debate. Like her campaign, this book does not pick a path and dabbles between wanting to be President, and wanting to complain why she isn’t. There is no closure in this book, no hope for a future either. Regrets? Oh my, it’s got regrets covered. Waaaaah. “I didn’t have enough time.” Waaaaaah. Try, all I need to win is lawyers, guns, and money. Geeeez.
The very title bespeaks the book’s premise to announce why she lost and whose fault it is. Wanna guess where she fits in in that equation? Fact is she was handed the biggest gift that any US politician since Washington ever got and she blew it. And that’s on top of securing the VP slot out of the blue. PERIOD. And if she wants to point fingers, cry in her beer, fine. But don’t expect my vote. No Mulligan on this one. Matter of fact, don’t run. Try something In CA, Senator, Representative, Dog Catcher, but quit the national scene. For now. For some time. Just stay in the penalty box you deserve and maybe in a decade you can earn another chance.
Let’s get real. You got the biggest gift in politics ever and YOU screwed the pooch. As I said 50 days into her 107 days: “I’ve got that McGovern feeling all over again,” and gosh —– truer words never spoken and the aftermath seems “McGovernesque” as well. I think Kamala needs some alone time to reflect, this book was too soon, and she’s still in shock. And therein lies the rub; worse than losing is that she was totally surprised at the outcome. Try looking there Harris, you might find a teachable moment instead of the whining room.
Like Hillary coming back, good luck, and let’s move on. She’s an asterisk now.
Let’s look at the what ifs. If kumbreath had been elected our country would have been the pooch who got screwed. There’s no way that our republic would have avoided being damaged if that bitch served one term. And I shudder to imagine two terms. All I hear is hate Trump. But nobody can tell me what would make the country better by electing the walking, cackling word salad machine. And I am ecstatic that New Jersey is probably turning red next election. Miracles happen. But then there’s voter fraud. Just saying. It’s to be expected.
Willie, that’s what folks said for Clinton, Obama, and Biden — we’re still standing. People said that for Reagan, Bush, Bush, and Trump —- we’re still standing and we ill be so after Trump 2.0 also. Hyperbolics aside, no need to shudder.
I can’t speak to Harris making or not making the country better, but clearly the country does not feel we are on the right path now. Polls show “Donald Trump’s Disapproval Rating Among Republicans is Now in Double Digits” as even 10% of Republicans disapprove of Trump, first time in Trump history. *https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-disapproval-rating-among-republicans-is-now-in-double-digits-10718544*
For the nation, Trump’s numbers never lower: “Newsweek’s tracker shows that Trump’s net approval rating stands at -11 points, with 43 percent approving and 54 percent disapproving. It is the third time Trump’s approval rating has dropped to -11 in his second term, his all time low score.” “A YouGov/Economist poll last week put his latest approval rating at an all-time low, with 39 percent approving and 57 percent disapproving. The president’s numbers with the pollster last week was 41 percent approval with a 54 percent disapproval rating. Several polls released this week also pulled his average lower, including Gallup (-16), Ipsos/Reuters (-17), and American Research Group (-21). Others, such as Echelon Insights (-8) and Morning Consult (-6), show smaller deficits, but all continue the recent trend of negative marks for the president. Meanwhile, pollster Nate Silver’s tracker currently shows that 44 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance, while 53 percent disapprove, giving him a net approval of -9 points—his lowest since July 24.”
Hate Trump is getting to be a bipartisan thing. Ted Cruz is doing it. Rand Paul is doing it. Bill Cassidy is doing it. The Epstein cover up is going bad, Jimmy Kimmel was a loser, and now —- Comey? This one looks so bad that it seems impossible it will ever see the inside of a courtroom. He’s gonna end up pulling a Comer-Jorden, that marriage which made for five years of investigative smoke, no fire, no indictments, just like the last five years of Comer-Jordan trial by FOX. Pretty sure the current rush to indict anything that moves is going to blow back big time as a total waste of time.
Meanwhile, yes, the NJ race is tightening, but miracle? You do realize at the Governor’s level, NJ for the last 15 years has been governor-ed 40% of the time by Republicans? Not exactly a NJ miracle to vote for one. I am glad NJ makes you ecstatic, we don’t get that much, even at home.
And if you expect voter fraud, at significant levels, you need to loosen your tin foil hat. Can’t prove it, just grove it. A story is a good as a fact for you fine fellows. Who needs science and statistics when you have rumors and allegations. Hey, I think I already have my mail in ballet. Thanks, I can run that in this weekend. Don’t think that will help your miracle!!! Plus, when I heard the race was tightening, when I heard how the Republican candidate’s “helpers” got the Republican controlled National Archives to illegally release Sherrill’s military records which they did without redacting private and sensitive info. That’s illegal. The Archives apologized in writing and Sherrill is raising a boatload of contributions as NJians vote what they think about a Trump administration that will release information in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974 against their political opponents. Legal actions are pending, but doubt she would do that before November. And Don, her name is Mikie, not Mike. Sigh.
Said Dunger. 😃😃😃
