Republican pundit Will Pierce insisted that Vice President Kamala Harris was "not Black" and, instead, accused her of "doing blackface."
During a Sunday panel discussion, Newsmax host Lidia Curanaj falsely claimed that Harris "changes her race depending" on her campaign strategy.
Pierce, a for.....
"And you know what I'm very upset of?" Pierce added. "Let's look at the little Black girl who dreams of being president of the United States in a few years."
"Kamala Harris is taking that title away just so she can sit here and try to win a voting bloc."
This is a weird fucking argument. Is he under the impression that if we elect a Black Woman that we won't be allowed to do it again? That once we elect Kamala we're obligated to return to an endless line of white men presidents?
Or is he misspeaking here and saying that Kamala is stealing the title of "First Black Woman President" from some hypothetical little girl that deserves the "title" of First Black Woman President in like 20-30 years when she's old enough to run for president (more like 50-60 years given the age of actual elected presidents)? Apparently we should keep voting against Black Women for the next few decades / half a century to save that covered title for some future Black Woman politician...
All because they think that Jamaicans aren't Black, because Black people can only come directly from Africa?
They managed to cram a "save the children" argument, a dishonest idpol narrative, and overt racism into one argument. I'm as impressed with their efficiency as I am disgusted with their lack of humanity.
It's a real lack of understanding if they assume that people are only voting for her because she is black. It's going to be a really really weak strategy
Will Pierce. Who is this nobody? I mainly find Fox News and conservative think tanks on a quick search underlining how he's some kind of GOP turncoat, and he doesn't have a Wikipedia page. So some dude doesn't like Harris.

So...people are only black if their family came directly to America from Africa? Being enslaved in other countries first means they aren't black?
And if you're mixed-race, and you don't count as being any of those races?
And no mixed race person should become president because you're taking away the chance for a single race person to be the first of that race to be president? And I think they forgot there was already a black president. Or are they saying the first woman president should be white so they don't take away the ability for a white person to be the first woman president since black people already got a first?
Newsmax actively ignores what its like to live in a race coded society as a minority because They're only talking to people who haven't lived as being in an oppressed minority. The ignorance is the point. They'll say whatever shit will play with their white audience that will make them respect a candidate less.
