Vice President Kamala Harris did almost nothing during her tenure in office without trying to crowbar “equity” into it, prioritizing woke race and gender concerns into everything from foreign intelligence to Covid-19 to hurricane relief.
Soon after taking office, Harris reportedly had a problem with how two female world leaders were allegedly being described in intelligence reports, according to The New York Times, which she groused “used adjectives … rarely used to describe male leaders.”
The newly sworn-in veep sprang into action, ordering officials to scour years of intelligence agencies’ briefing reports for evidence to support her assertions.
Alas, they turned up nothing besides “some questionable word choices,” with no evidence of any pattern of gender bias, an anonymous senior intelligence official told the outlet.
The purportedly problematic words Harris highlighted were never revealed because the reports were classified, the Times noted.
Despite the belly-flop out of the gate, the first female vice president pressed on, determined to view every issue through the same DEI lens.
During the pandemic, Harris routinely asked staffers to break down vaccination metrics by demographics as part of an Easter egg hunt for any gaps she could discern.
The line of inquiry was so frequent that her advisers would prepare answers to her inevitable questions about how various domestic issues impacted women and racial minorities.
“She was always interested in race and gender,” a former aide told the New York Times speaking on condition of anonymity.
“We all knew it was really important to her, so we would proactively add that to her briefings. She didn’t have to ask for it.”
At a Washington forum following Hurricane Ian in 2022, Harris made the controversial remarks, “We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity,” which Republicans including Sen. Rick Scott of Florida lambasted her for.
Her obsession with race and gender even extended to the impact of gender inequality on foreign countries’ national security apparatuses, particularly in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, the outlet writes.
In spite of her record, Harris has studiously avoided bringing up these issues on the campaign trail, and has run away from them in order to avoid being painted as a far-left extremist incapable of looking beyond demographic differences.
