Don’t fall for GOP’s cheap racist attacks on Kamala Harris

All opinions expressed in this article are solely the opinions of the contributors.

Republican rhetorical attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, the leading Democratic candidate for president, escalated as soon as President Biden announced that he was stepping back from the election. Many Republicans accused Harris of being “a DEI hire” and indicated that she only got her position because of her skin color or gender, not her merit or talents. Liberals responded by claiming that “DEI hire” is “the new N-word” and defended Harris’s record in public service to assert that she does, in fact, have the skills and experience to lead the country.

Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey observes how Republicans are setting a much higher bar for Harris than they do for their own candidate, a convicted felon. Regardless, Dr. Richey continues, the 2024 election is still a fundamental choice between democracy and dictatorship.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

Now, VP Harris has a tough job ahead. But make no mistake about it, it is unprecedented. So when someone says, well, she can’t win, because you only have 100 plus days, you only have this, and when a switch happens, that the whole damn thing is unprecedented — no one knows how this is going to turn out. But I will tell you this, I like the contrast. I prefer to have a real contrast ticket against Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has never won the heart, the mind, the soul of the American people. He has never won the popular vote. The vast majority of Americans have always voted against Donald Trump. Not once has he received the majority of the American vote. That to me, yes, hope, and it should give hope to you. All right.

For those who actually are supporting Trump, that means in my humble opinion, you do not support democracy, because the number one dynamic that’s on the agenda in this election is democracy itself.
