Disaster aid should be based on race and gender, according to Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris who argues the amount of water that flooded your home and the amount of damage you have suffered is immaterial.

During a Harris presidency, white males might struggle to find much disaster relief if a hurricane demolishes your house.

On the other hand, if you’re a black woman or a recent immigrant, you can expect generous federal aid regardless of how much water flooded your home.

Harris made the extraordinary comments at a Sept. 30 event organized by actress Priyanka Chopra Jones in 2022, during which she interviewed Harris.

The Hill report: Chopra posed an incredibly loaded and convoluted question concerning the United States’s climate objectives and the hurricanes that have wreaked havoc on parts of our nation. 

“[When] we consider the global implications of emissions … the poorest countries contribute the least [to the climate crisis] and are affected the most,” Chopra said. “So, how should voters in the U.S. feel about the administration’s long-term goals when it comes to being an international influencer on this topic?” 

After some time unpacking the first long part of Chopra’s question, Harris responded: “On the disparities issue … it is our lowest-income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making…

“And so, we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity; understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity. Understanding not everyone starts out in the same place and, if we want people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities.” 

That’s right, the vice president of the United States stated that disaster relief should be distributed based on “equity,” not necessarily need — and that low-income communities and communities of color should receive aid first, evidently regardless of the urgency of their situation.

The left is in damage-control mode, trying to offset criticism and online posts chastising Harris, and to brand Republicans as liars and somehow make them out to be the offenders in this situation.

But it is clear that Harris said unequivocally that low-income and minority areas are disproportionately affected by “extreme conditions” and that we must allocate resources based on “equity.”
