I guess her own family wont be voting for her in 2020
‘My dear departed grandmothers… as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not, with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics.”
That’s professor Donald Harris, the Jamaican father of Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, reportedly sounding off this week in a statement to Jamaica Global Online about his daughter’s interview on the New York Breakfast Club radio show.
Kamala Harris, who admitted to smoking pot — “I did inhale” — was also asked by the host about accusations that she has, in the past, opposed legalization efforts.
“Half my family’s from Jamaica, are you kidding me?” she said.
That’s the part that apparently didn’t sit well with her dad.
“Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family,” he allegedly said, “we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”
Nice downplay. I can’t think of many things more humiliating than being called out as a fraud by your own father on a national stage. Well done Professor Harris - keep it classy.
Ah yes, the candidate’s own father (who is an economics professor at Stanford) discussing identity politics and how his daughter is exploiting it in a major political event next year.
What part of this is petty again?
Kamala Harris sleeping her way into political power, is petty gossip nonsense.
A professor discussing sociopolitical issues isnt, and the fact that he is related to said presidential candiate doesnt invalidate his point.
What is her platform and how is it different from Bernie Sanders? Please enlighten me, bc so far, she has been running purely on identity politics (with the additional substance-user tag lately).
Expect the leftist to go silent when it realizes that Kamala doesn’t even have a platform on her own website. She has some long essay that no one is ever going to read and that’s it.
I don’t know why you’re defending her unless you think you’re also getting a turn. I hate to break it to you, but unless you can directly further her career, you aren’t.
