Early last year, you might recall Joe Biden’s interview with Charlamagne tha God where the then-presidential candidate said “you ain’t black” if you don’t vote Democrat.
VP Kamala Harris was on the same show and made a similar comment after being asked who’s really in charge:
“Don’t start talking like a republican” isn’t gaslighting? pic.twitter.com/uutKb0dDWp

They feel empowered saying stuff like “Don’t start talking like a republican” because some of y’all let Biden get away with questioning your Blackness for hesitating to vote for him…..
Hate to see it 🧐

Just as that exchange was starting, a Harris aide entered the chat claiming there were problems with the connection:

As for “don’t start talking like a Republican,” a GOPer would never claim that Joe Manchin is really the person in charge — Ron Klain, maybe, but never Joe Manchin.
Her presidency is going to be an unmitigated disaster https://t.co/NE8HvAyuwq

Some Dems though think that Harris owned Charlamagne. Here’s a staffer for Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot:
Whew! @VP ate Charlemagne up!
“It’s Joe Biden, and I'm Vice President, and my name is Kamala Harris.”

Heh… nice try, but no.
Seriously? That's not how most of us took it and she definitely didn't sound "Presidential". https://t.co/yllrDRiPPe
