She Has Arrived!

I didn’t know Kamala Harris before she became the vice president. I have written harsh articles about her and argued with her supporters who called me “racist” and a “misogynist” for not being in love with her the way they were (they were just dopey, clueless liberals obsessed with political correctness and are as bad as MAGidiots).

Nonetheless, when I realized Biden couldn’t beat Trump, my support shifted to the Kamala the way it does for any team playing the Cowboys. Since she became the great “caramel-hued” hope for our democracy, I haven’t spent much time getting to know Ms. Harris. Part of me didn’t want to find anything that could make me uneasy. As an international affairs person, I have a master’s in international affairs from the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, the vice president’s mistaken reference to North Korea as our decades-long ally still echoes in my head. I feared that if I looked closer by putting her under the microscope, I might learn of other completely off-the-wall comments.

Comfortable letting her pass for the sake of our democracy, I chose to float on the surface and bask in the knowledge that the sky was blue…
