Eugene Robinson's spin on Kamala Harris' incoherence 'reads like a progress report for a 7th grader'

 

Vice President Kamala Harris gets a bad rap from Republicans and conservatives, but does she really deserve it? Like, is it fair to expect her to be perfect, when she already does so many things so well?

Washington Post columnist (and MSNBC analyst) Eugene Robinson tackles that very issue in a new opinion piece about the fine line that Kamala Harris must walk in order to be exactly what she needs to be for Joe Biden and the Biden administration:

Robinson writes:

As has been the case with virtually every vice president since the nation’s founding, Harris gets a bad rap. The first duty of the job is to avoid upstaging the president, which means surrendering any political autonomy and never being out in front of the West Wing on any issue. Recall the way Mike Pence always stood like a hyperrealist statue, mute and expressionless, while President Donald Trump ranted and raved. Somehow, Pence managed to never even lift an eyebrow.

And when vice presidents are given actual tasks, they tend to be the impossible ones. Biden put Harris in charge of the border — at a time when there was absolutely no possibility of getting Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform that might reduce the flow of would-be migrants. It was a classic no-win situation: She could make a show of raising hopes, which then would be dashed; or she could hunker down and keep expectations low. Either way, she was bound to be criticized for having failed.

Poor Kamala. It’s like no matter what she does, she looks bad!

And, as Robinson notes, she really doesn’t deserve to be put in such a terrible position. Like, take all those clips of Kamala’s so-called “word salads.” Yeah, she sounds like she’s having a stroke, but the right-wing echo chamber is definitely making way too big a deal out of the fact that her train of thought goes off the rails before it even leaves the station:

It’s not hard to diagram Kamala Harris’ sentences; it’s damn near impossible. Because they’re not so much sentences as they are, well, word salads. They’re effing word salads, Eugene.

Well, in fairness, Kamala Harris kind of embodies the soft bigotry of low expectations.

It’s Science!

Not that we’re aware of, no.
