Kamala Harris is getting Hillaryed.

[milestogo]

The press are shitting on her every chance they get.

[Skittles]

1. she's a woman of color

that means they'll double down

try to remember when any other VP was shit on during the first year

[Skittles]

6. not like this

[Polybius]

16. Bill Clinton?

Not a VP but he was pounded massively by the GOP in the 90's.

[milestogo]

19. But he was elected to two terms as president, nonetheless

Hillary should have been president, but the GOP had been trashing her for 25 years.

[tenderfoot]

2. Did the press go after Biden like they are now when he was VP?

I wonder the problem could be? 🤔

[Skittles]

5. no

[Texaswitchy]

3. Yep.

The same treatment.

[milestogo]

7. They want to make sure nobody gets any ideas about her being president

so they are pre-emptively attacking her.

[ColinC]

8. CNN (among others) are running opinion pieces and framing it as news

Who does that remind us of?

[msongs]

9. got some specific examples of this happening? nt

[milestogo]

11. Here ya go.

10. Hmm...

... smart, professional, competent... they will "define" her as something else.

[lindysalsagal]

12. Probably nothing new to her. She can take it. That's why she's awesome. Same as the Obamas.

Remember Hilary dusting off her shoulder? Yeah. That.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

13. These attacks on Vice President Harris are pissing me off

[betsuni]

14. Absolutely.

[Tribetime]

15. Yes and at the same time they're promoting Chris Christie

I'm f****** believable

[FBaggins]

17. Last night, Fox was speculating about her replacement on the ticket

Second-hand report for all but a minute of it, but they have some panel show in the evening that was talking about the House researching confirmation procedures. And, since the House only does that for VP nominees, they must be anticipating Harris being dropped from the ticket. Someone then speculated that it could even be the president stepping down and Harris needing a new VP.

I guess it was a slow news day despite the Rittenhouse trial.

[PunkinPi]

18. Yep, and it's been going on since the 2020 primary. Our media is trash. nt

[BSdetect]

20. There is a strong streak of misogyny in the country, easily exploited.
