If you thought you’d heard all of the preposterous reasons Republicans can possibly come up with for why they don’t like Vice President Kamala Harris (hint: it’s because she’s black), consider what a caller had to say on the C-SPAN program Washington Journal.
The caller identified himself as Rory from California, and it didn’t take long before he was prattling on about the 25th Amendment and how a member of the GOP could rise to the White House.
“I think Harris will never be competent and if the 25th Amendment is used against Biden then she might become the president. So, I think the 25th Amendment will get rid of Biden. And then she may be impeached and then you’ll get a Republican who is now the head of the House.”
Host Bill Scanlan asked, “What would she be impeached on, Rory?”
Rory suggested it would be because Harris is “always laughing.”
“Incompetence; always laughing like a fool. And never doing anything. Spending money on things that don’t go. And they need to close [the border] — I mean, really put real barriers if necessary with guns to stop aliens from coming over, especially the drug cartels more than the people who want a better life.”
The only reason Harris could be impeached, according to the U.S. Constitution, is for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Last time I checked, laughing didn’t fit into either of those categories.
Again, the reason conservatives despise Harris is because she’s a strong, successful black woman, as Color of Change President Arisha Hatch noted during an interview with the Los Angeles Times:
“If it weren’t her laugh, it’d be her smile or the way she dressed.”
But it’s really all about the color of her skin and her gender. That’s what irks Republicans the most.
