Mary Katharine Ham BUSTS the Kamala Harris victim-of-mansplaining narrative

One of the narratives coming out of last night’s vice presidential debate is that Mike Pence was sexist and mansplaining to Sen. Kamal Harris:

Pence dominated Kamala so thoroughly and convincingly that the media's only available tactic is to accuse him of being a sexist for debating a woman at a debate. These people are such clowns. Parodies of themselves. pic.twitter.com/OXaIKnV58Y

From CNN’s S.E. Cupp:

Pence's mansplaining, interrupting, condescending and general smarminess is at an 11 tonight.

No wonder suburban women have left the Republican Party in droves.#Debates2020

Here’s ex-CBS anchor Dan Rather who had his own issues with sexism when his network hired Connie Chung as his co-anchor:

I don’t think VP Pence’s mansplaining and over-talking is doing a lot to narrow the gender gap, unless it is also turning off more men as well.

And is there a reporter that interrupts more than Andrea Mitchell and her patented shouted-out questions at inopportune times?

I asked a man I know what he thought of the debate. He said: “The debate was over when she said Mr. Vice President you are interrupting me” #mansplaining

Now, her’s Mary Katharine Ham to BUST that narrative:

According to all the official time counts, at worst, Harris got equal time (CNN), and at best, some 3 mins more than Pence (ABC). If that’s rank sexism and mansplaining, gimme those odds any day.
