We can see the lies and misogyny against the Vice-President from a mile away.😒😒
One thing we will not let y’all do is ruin VP Harris like you did to Hillary all because you don’t want to see her President one day. We expected the hit pieces and smears a long time ago. That’s why we keep fighting. There’s a whole lot of us. #VPHarris2024#Harris2028 pic.twitter.com/xdVmxLzi0t

The media coverage of VP Harris is a case study in implicit gender bias from both the left and right. pic.twitter.com/EzNIyUo4Sz

Ever notice whenever Vice President Harris shines or has positive coverage, the usual suspects unleash petty smear campaigns?

Who raised the VP bar?
Straight talk.
There's a concern in Democratic circles that if POTUS & the VP are re-elected, POTUS won't serve a full second term & they or their favorite candidates will be foreclosed from running in 2028 bc they'll be facing the VP as an incumbent. pic.twitter.com/coVf1kb7Ef— THEE Glory (@CDonatac) February 7, 2023
If you’re curious about why so many people today are calling out the NYT’s coverage of VP Kamala Harris, I’m gonna break down some of the major points, with some article context. Of course, you may wish to read the full article in order to form your own opinion.

And here you'll see a predominantly white legacy news org normalize racism & misogyny by arguing – without quote/attribution – Republican strategy. But which specific dems are flummoxed by the notion of fighting national racism & misogyny? Please, by all means, name those names. pic.twitter.com/S7JW4bL3Tr

The authors seem surprised by the notion that a VP makes multiple drafts of important speeches – sometimes even on Air Force Two!
Important context missing here: 1,500 people traveled across Florida on a cold, rainy Sunday to see her speak. It matters. Why was it not included? pic.twitter.com/Cr2bcDbBUL
— Cassandra the Anti-Nihilist (@WriterWarrior) February 6, 2023
What messages are these doubting dems sending to the base about party leaders? Do they even care? For the sake of recapturing the House and ensuring Biden's second term, I hope ambitious dems stop contributing to the “dems in disarray” narratives sooner than later.

“Most Democrats interviewed who insisted on anonymity…said flatly that they did not think Harris could win the presidency in 2024. Some said party’s biggest challenge would be finding a way to sideline her without inflaming key Democratic constituencies that would take offense.”

Hey ya’ll! I originally wanted to do this in graphic form, but work and travel are getting more complex, so before stuff happens I’ll post it here in a master thread.

@VP Kamala Harris has always been a fierce believer in the work of Diplomacy. It’s no surprise that not even 2 years into her term as Vice President she was being referred to as ✨Diplomat-in-Chief✨Her diplomatic work is not just inspiring, its encouraging.

This was him in the summer of 2020 when Biden was deciding who the VP should be. At the time he said she she wouldn't be loyal and was opportunistic
Now, today, the NYT has quoted him saying "all she does is stand beside him at ceremonies"
HUH? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! pic.twitter.com/jqXrxitJQD

That New York Times article is so over-the-top, so clearly reflecting an agenda, that it’s backfired on the Times and people are seeing how undeniable it is that the VP is not covered like other politicians, especially white men.

I hope folks recognize there is white supremacism bullshit at play from the right and left.
The media has been the tool used but there are individuals with malicious intent behind the media’s treatment of the VP since day one.
The attacks are coordinated. Whose leading them?
— ✨ June ✨ (@JuneSummer1) February 6, 2023
For being such prominent figures in the Democratic Party, @PeteButtigieg @ewarren & @BernieSanders are shockingly quiet about most of the smears against Vice President Harris

Please say this again!! Those whyte Dems better get their house in order they don't want those problems- so these ones thinks she suppose to what step aside so whyte ppl can have comfort 🤔🤔GTFOH

Personally, I'm a Harris Democrat: forward-looking, optimistic, entrepreneurial, focused on policies that center marginalized communities, pro-immigration, pro-trade, pro-public-private partnerships, a supporter of a strong & realistic foreign policy & working w/ allies.

As I noted, Jack Smith could not take action without getting this direct fact witness on the record about what he meant by this comment.
Also, he need to get Pence under oath bc this sounds like an attempt to provide Trump excuses. https://t.co/PiyGP5xQLp

Don’t assume the Special Counsel’s subpoena means Pence is ready to litigate. His team may have insisted on the cover of a subpoena as they continue to toe the line between fidelity to the rule of law and subservience to the rule of Trump.
