Sometimes I write to their complaints dept..let them know they aren't fooling anyone.. clickbait focused on race..mostly anti black. They have no shame

(32,454 posts)Kamala is slammed for causing 'undue panic' to survivors of Hurricane Ian after saying the Biden administration will focus on 'giving resources based on equity' to 'communities of color' - as Ron De Santis' spokesperson accuses her of 'lying'

(13,180 posts)From what I can tell, she actually did step in it by using the word "equity" in a guaranteed backfire context, Ian. If she leaves it this way, the word "equity" (and, unfortunately, the principle with it) takes a huge hit to the midsection, not to mention the Democratic Party. How she uses the attention is key. Imo, she should sandwich an "apology/clarification" between two politically helpful statements, perhaps about the importance of federal level institutions and a commitment to compassion and assistance to all affected by Ian.
If she does something like that, it could end up a net plus or, perhaps, a wash.

It's a crying shame.
All we had to do was listen to science, which has been
warning us since the 1970's.
