The far-left attempts to make Vice President Kamala Harris look cool and electable continue and are reaching new heights of absurdity as the left continues pushing them. Among those who looked the most ridiculous in the attempt to make Kamala look good was MSNBC’s Joy Reid who, on her Tuesday, July 23 broadcast of “The ReidOut,” spoke about Kamala’s virtues and DEI.

As background, on Sunday, July 21, President Joe Biden announced that he would be dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s nominee. In a tweet on the matter, he said, “My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

Then, supporting Kamala, he announced, in that same post, “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”

So the attempt to support Kamala’s bid for the presidency has been ongoing since then. Among those pitching in was Joy Reid, who attempted to rebut the criticism of Kamala that revolves around on what critics claim was her seemingly being chosen for being a black woman rather than her individual virtues. Doing so, Reid said that “DEI is actually a good thing,” but that it is also racist to argue that VP Harris is a DEI hire.

That came when she was speaking with New York Attorney General Letitia James, one of those who went after Trump with lawfare. AG James argued that Republicans are “running very scared, and they have nothing else other than racism and sexism. And so, when you have nothing else, unfortunately, you just appeal to the racists among us, the white nationalists among us. That’s all.”

Continuing, AG James defended Kamala and argued that she is even an “overacheiver,” saying,
“The reality is is that Kamala Harris — Vice President Harris, is qualified and oftentimes, she’s underestimated, but she’s an overachiever. And that’s why I have wholeheartedly endorsed her. And it’s unfortunate that individuals are just amplifying racism and sexism, and it’s totally inappropriate, and I will not dignify it with a response.”

Responding, Reid argued that DEI “is actually a good thing,” saying, “Indeed. And DEI is actually a good thing, whether it is DEI in its original form or duly-elected official, which you are, Madam. And you’ve been a very successful statewide elected official. I think people need to understand, being an Attorney General means you were elected statewide, as was Vice President Harris when she was an attorney general.”
