Kamala Harris’s insulting pander to black men

Vice President Kamala Harris recently told The View she couldn’t think of a single thing she would have done differently than President Joe Biden.

In addition to wildly unconstitutionally racist proposals, such as providing $20,000 grants available only to black entrepreneurs, the flailing Democratic nominee called for federal legislation that would legalize the “cultivation, distribution, and possession of recreational marijuana” nationwide. Harris said this legislation would make sure black men “are able to access wealth and jobs in this new market.”
