Politico. Sam Stein. & the misogynostic racism







"Yeah they wouldn't write "Why did Mike take the Pfizer pill?".

"Does Politico call him Mehmet?"

They won't even address Her as VP Harris.

"Why did Kamala take the Pfizer pill?"
Sam Stein~ Politico

1. Jaime Harrison, DNC Chair actually has to say this

Jaime Harrison, DNC Chair
@harrisonjaime
She is Vice President of the United States so let’s respect her and the office. The same standards used for others who held this esteemed role should also be used for VP Harris! “Harris,” “VP Harris,” &“Kamala Harris” are all appropriate and consistent with previous VPs.

Politico is seriously out here saying the United States shouldn’t provide the best available medical care to its Vice President Kamala Harris

There was absolute silence when Trump got treatment that no one had access to.




"That Politico article feels like the authors are upset the Black VP of the United States got to take Paxlovid before most white people have access to it."

I remember some of his articles on huffpost and not impressed to say the very least.. and now this.

Someone needs to clue him in on exactly who VP Harris is.
