You gotta love a delicious story of political infighting and hypocrisy festering in the highest levels of the Biden Administration.
This morning, Vespa points out just such a tasty morsel. Apparently, that moment in the Democrat's primary debate back in 2019 when Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist relic of the segregation past while attempting some sort of Marc Antony "Brutus is an honorable man" backstabbing jiu-jitsu didn't go over well for the non-medical doctor-wife of the now-president.
You remember the moment... While claiming she didn't think Old Joe was racist, Kamala then pointed out his robust, loving support and admiration for racist Democratic segregationists and his own vociferous opposition to busing in the '70s.
"And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day," Harris recited from her memorized (and probably ghost-written) debate notes. "And that little girl was me."
"You go, girl!" screamed the tone-deaf Twitterverse in a feeble attempt to resuscitate the decayed corpse that was the Kamala-for-Prez campaign.

WHOA. Kamala Harris just made the issue of desegregation a *personal* problem for Joe Biden. She spoke about how a little black girl was bused at a time when he worked with segregationists to oppose busing. "That little girl was me." #DemDebate.

Oh my goodness, I think that Kamala Harris just won this debate (if she hadn’t won it already) with that powerful testimony about the history of race in America and busing: “That little girl was me.” #demdebate

Yeah. It was a real "game-changer," my friends. She ended her campaign six months later before Democrat voters had the chance to humiliate her in a caucus or primary.
Now, as Vespa points out, thanks to a new tell-all book about the campaign, we're learning how the Biden camp took to Ms. Harris calling Uncle Joe a Kloset Klansman:
Jill Biden didn’t have to worry about being so politic, and never had. She had watched the debate from her seat in the opera house, about ready to jump out of it. She’s small and a community college professor. Most people forget that she’s proudly still the Philly girl who likes to tell the story of when she showed up at the door of a boy named Drew who’d been throwing worms at her 9-year-old sister, and, in Jill’s telling, “pulled back and punched him in the face.”
The aides could do the political maneuvering after Harris’ attack. Jill was and is the guardian of the Biden honor, the Biden id. She couldn’t bear to watch a woman who called herself a friend of her son’s—although Beau was not her biological child, she’d raised him his entire life as if he were—try to tear her husband down, to score a point at a debate.
“With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to, you get up there and call him a racist without basis?” she said on a phone call with close supporters a week later, according to multiple people on the call. “Go f--- yourself.”
Now that's a prescription from Dr. Jill that we can all get behind! (I'm sorry... what? She's not that kind of doctor? She can't write a prescription? Then why do we have to keep calling her "doctor?") The point is, we agree, Kamala should go "Eff" herself.
However, as usual, "Dr." Jill is right about this thing but for the wrong reasons.
The fact is, Kamala was right about Biden's troubling pattern of racial divisiveness and scapegoating of African-Americans for his own personal political gain.
He threw down with Democratic segregationists when it would help his career.
He referred to segregated schools that he didn't want his children growing up in as "racial jungles."
He co-wrote the 1994 crime bill that targeted and incarcerated blacks in America for carrying trace amounts of crack while his own son has ingested more powder cocaine than Stephen Tyler on the Aerosmith "Done With Mirrors" tour without ever facing a judge, let alone a cellmate.
He coordinated the "High-tech Lynching" of Clarence Thomas.
He referred to then-presidential candidate Barack Obama as "articulate and bright and clean."
I mean... the guy's racial dog-whistle is loud enough to signal the lunch break at a GM factory.
Kamala should "Eff" herself, but not for being right about ole segregationist Joe. She should "Eff" herself because she's trying to destroy our country. And she's using Covid-19 as the excuse to do it.
Wednesday, at a speech delivered at the White House, Harris sounded like Rahm Emanuel on steroids as she declared that the Covid pandemic was merely the mother of all crises that she and her party apparatchiks don't plan on allowing to go to waste.

"You know, as we emerge from the pandemic, I believe that we are at the start of a new era," she dictated. "I believe that we have a unique opportunity now to shape our nation's future, to transform how we live, how we work, and how we vote."
This pandemic, which has killed hundreds of thousands, bankrupted more, left our children with a year's worth of lost education and emotional/social development, is really just an opportunity to remake the country in Kamala Harris' socialist vision?
Um, no. Madame vice president, in the words of the good "doctor," well, you know what you can go do with yourself.
