    Sadly creamsicle’s racist dog whistle comments have really emboldened others across this country…

    To negate the fact that she was brought on because she is a black woman is to ignore Biden’s intent.

    Biden’s fault for picking someone based on race and gender (that they hid for his entire presidency). Now he has to deal w/ the consequences.

    Kinda hard to say that after explicitly stating she was brought on because race/gender.

    I read this is DEA hire. And was like yeah the DEA loves her she’s a cop.
    Fuck racism but also don’t really want a former prosecutor as President.

  6. Whatever the reason we are in this mess, where the VP is and has been unpopular, can the DNC please just make it a rule that the winning candidate must offer the VP seat to the runner up? We probably wouldn’t have lost in 2016 if we had a Clinton-Bernie coalition, and we wouldn’t have to deal with an unpopular VP now either. It also would incentivize real primaries during incumbent elections like this one, and we would have figured out that Biden can’t speak off a script.

    I’m confused why was she brought on, I feel like her husband has done more than she has in the past 3 1/2 years

    But she is a DEI hire though. She was chosen when racial tensions were quite high due to the George Floyd fiasco. He certainly didn’t chosen her for her popularity.

    She was explicitly a DEI hire. They picked her because they wanted a black woman, not because she was skilled. They said this.

    Its wild how when the right-wing nuts come up with a new insult they go out of their way to apply it retroactively.

    Biden clearly said back in 2020 he was looking for a black woman as a veep.

    So yeah, she was a beneficiary of DEI hiring.

  12. She is a DEI hire. Name something she has accomplished without media and white house embellishment.

    Sayings facts is not bigotry just cause she does not like the facts

    I guess that in order to not be a bigot you have to just be quiet or lie in this circumstance since that is exactly why she was hired? He was very clear about what he was looking for in a VP and also his supreme court pick.

  15. I’m black. She was 100% a pander DEI hire. Stop with this holier-than-thou shit. It’s fucking insulting. These are the same people who will in the same breath say, if Biden steps down, it has to be Kamala who is nominated or they put the black vote at risk. As if my vote is determined by the candidate happening to be a similar shade of brown.

    Wow the comments in here are wild and borderline racist. Let’s not forget that Kamala was a US Senator before this. It’s not like they just picked a random person off the street.

  17. Absolutely disgusting, and absolutely right to call it out for what it is. NY Post should be embarrassed for having allowed it go to print.

  18. Portlandiahousemafia on

    It’s not. She’s literally a very unpopular former junior senator. If you honestly believe that she would have been picked if she were a white lady you’re insane.

  19. Yes keep defending her. The woman who jailed tens of thousands of minorities and protected classes. DEI hire who crushes those beneath her for political gain

  20. JustTheTri-Tip on

    Lord, maybe democrats *deserve* Trump.

    Didn’t Biden literally make her his VP because she was a black woman?

  21. UngodlyPain on

    I mean it’s not bigoted to really say, that’s a big factor in why Biden picked her as VP was to round out the cultural image of his campaign in 2020… Which would in a way yes make her a “DEI hire” … But she’s still totally qualified for being VP. She was a senator and such.

    And she’d be an okay president if Biden dies or resigns.

    But her 2020 primary performance goes a long way in saying she wouldn’t be a good replacement candidate. For him if he were to drop out of the race.

    I think these are all pretty logical arguments. One can be a “Dei hire” and still be fine or good at the job. It’s really only an insult if someone makes it into one. But that’s me.

  22. I am sorry but it is true. Her campaign was a disaster but she failed up. If we don’t want to have this conversation then let’s not participate in preferential hiring.

  23. She was completely and totally a DEI hire. I mean, it’s documented public record and couldn’t be any more clear. Biden said he was going to pick a woman, which narrowed the field down quite a bit. And then the story started coming out that, politically, it needed to be a black woman, at which point there were only a few (three I think?) plausible candidates.
