30. Kamala Harris has praised many members of Congress, new and old. Interesting though that...

...those praises aren't front page news.

Before I'm told to start a thread on any of them, I don't see that one member of the House/Senate praising another from the same party to be noteworthy enough to make a big deal about it. It happens every day and many times a day.

She was just on Jake Tapper and was praising others, including Joe Biden who she may be running against in 2020 and who also voted in favor of school busing decades ago (Kamala Harris was a product of school busing in the Oakland area).

That's simply known as working with one's own colleagues to get a job done.

On the other hand, I haven't seen her criticizing members of her own party. Read your highlighted quote and the other quotes there - anything about criticizing members of the party being "good for the party" or "good for the country"?
