Kamala Harris Dismisses Claim Black Voters Won’t Support Buttigieg
Out via Google News ^ | 11/5/19 | MATT BAUME

Kamala Harris has dismissed claims that Black voters are less likely to support Pete Buttigieg as “nonsense.”

The presidential candidate was responding to comments over the weekend from South Carolina Representative Jim Clyburn, who told CNN that there was “no question” that Buttigieg’s sexuality was a problem for older Black voters.

"I know of a lot of people my age that feel that way," Clyburn said. "I'm not going to sit here and tell you otherwise. I think everybody knows that's an issue."

But Harris rejected that claim, speaking with CNN not long after.

“I’m never going to buy into that trope,” she told Wolf Blitzer. “I think it’s a trope that has evolved among some Democrats to suggest that some African Americans are homophobic or that there’s transphobia in the Black community as a community. That’s just nonsense.”

Since she isn’t really “black”, why does anyone care what she thinks about this?

The poll numbers are very clear on this—Butt man is polling at zero percent with black voters.

What part of _zero_ does she not understand?

Does Kamala actually know any black people?

But Kamala did say that Democrats were racist and sexist (not ready for a woman of color President)...so why wouldn’t they be homophobic?

If a white guy is the nominee, Kamala will absolutely be the running mate.

But everyone on the left agrees wholeheartedly with everything everyone else on the left agrees with. Right?

She can dismiss it all she wants. It doesn’t change reality.

Democrats seem to really have a hard time with reality since January of 2017.

I thought only black people could talk about what black people do.

Probably doesn't know any actual black people ...

...but she does have a passing connection with Willie Brown.

They’re not homophobic. They’re just recognizing the true nature of things.

So is she endorsing him?

Trump would say something like "black voters are very smart and they can think for themselves. Why don't you ask them?" Something better than that I'm sure, but he'd say something othe than letting himself be forced into tacitly supporting his opposition.

*******************************
At this point in her “plunge” in her popularity, I suspect she wants to be ANYBODY’S VP.

If, according to Kamala, voters aren’t ready for a “woman of color” to be President, does she think they’re substantially more ready for a gay man to be?

She’s out of her mind. The reality is, she’s a mean hack of a Prosecutor who reminds people too much of Hildebeast.

Uhbama ruined a lot by convincing blacks to go all in on all commie issues.

There are still many blacks who don’t like homos, but many have swallowed the Kool-Aid that we must embrace homos. I’ve seen plenty actively in the service of these detectives, pushing the agenda.

So yes, at this point it’s a crapshoot.
