Kamala Harris: target of RW Talking Points

What's wrong with Republicans?

To delegitimize her and her life story of growing up black and the daughter of a single mom, they spout this nonsense:

Kamala Harris isn't black enough...

Kamala Harris' parents were too smart...

Kamala Harris wasn't poor enough...

Kamala Harris wasn't bussed enough...

Kamala Harris played the race card...

Kamala Harris plans her attacks...

What bothers me most though, is that many of these right wing talking points have been used in varying guises here on DU since the debate.

That should really stop.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Let the divisive posts fall on deaf ears. Better yet, hit the”trash this thread” button.

Remember when O'Rourke was the hot topic; all the things about him that suddenly became "news"

Not being black enough?

Not _really_ needing to be bused to a desegregated school?

That sort of thing puts the detractors in a whole other league, in my mind.
