Before attacking Kamala Harris for "mischaracterizing" Biden's views, please look at what she said

12. She just put a big hole in MSM attempts to demonize Biden telling Tweety "that NO HE IS NOT DONE!"

"He's not a racist; he's had a long career of public service and on and on for 30 seconds singing his praises."

So, to me, she knows she landed a blow, but perhaps overly so and is pulling back.

It was not easy to follow what was being said during that episode and that is why, in an otherwise flawless performance, I think this was not as successful as some would suggest. I think Biden will take a hit, but not likely a big one because the confusion over what the incident was all about and the ambush nature of it will engender sympathy for him. Kamala will rise in the polls, but she would have without this episode--maybe even to a greater degree.

I appreciate what Kamala was trying to bring forth, though I think its impacts are not yet clear. I don't think older African Americans that understand and remember all the complexities of that period will be moved. Younger people, maybe. Regardless, they will both move forward.
