You might want to sit down for this, but Rep. Cori Bush is pulling the race card again. She's also pulling the misogyny card, conflating the two into something called "misogynoir" — and it's blatant.
The piece that triggered Bush was a piece in The Atlantic about Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dean Phillips, who is challenging Joe Biden for the nomination. He doesn't stand a chance — they're not even letting Biden debate — but The Atlantic wanted to get inside the head of the man who thinks he can dethrone Biden.
Asked if Vice President Kamala Harris is prepared to step in should something happen to Biden, Phillips said, "I think Americans have made the decision that she's not." Her approval ratings are even lower than Biden's, and she's best known for utterly failing at finding the "root causes" of the unchecked migration at the southern border (that and her maniacal cackle).
Black women are told all the time that we aren’t qualified to hold positions of power.

This isn’t about policy differences. This is blatant misogynoir. pic.twitter.com/RNCDdV4XbA
Bush isn't qualified to hold a position of power either, and it's not "misogynoir" to blame.
Where does the black and the vagina come into play here?

Lots of competent black women. Kamala just isn’t one of them.

He’s talking about one specific woman‘s competency for one specific position of power. And she’s 50% asian-american

You’ve been told that your whole life.

Just because something thinks you’re not qualified doesn’t mean they think you’re not qualified because you are black. Or a woman.
Kamala Harris is a diversity hire who is unqualified to work at McDonalds let alone lead the US.

She’s been a complete failure as border Czar letting in over 10 million illegals.
No one says Kamala is unqualified because of her identity — she’s just unqualified.
Can anyone name any of Harris' achievements? She's been placed in charge of the border, Space Force, and artificial intelligence, among other things.
Being a black woman doesn’t qualify you the same way actual qualifications do. Being unable to recognize that is one of many reasons you’re not qualified.

Specifically, who says that?

Your whole campaign and political career is about race. It’s all you talk about. You’re racist af, you are the very thing you claim to campaign against.

"It's pretty clear that she's not somebody people have faith in," Phillips added. He's right — we remember Democrats talking about swapping out Harris for Pete Buttigieg back in 2021. Biden's 81 years old and we're all rooting for him to stay alive to keep Harris out of office because that would be an utter disaster.
