Anyone surprised that Trump is now pushing birthirism on Kamala Harris now?

dpareja:
Of course not. Birtherism was always just thinly veiled racism.

And, as noted in the article I posted about her, it's no secret that Sen. Harris spent a good deal of her childhood in Montreal.

Thankfully, that matters fuck all since she was born in Oakland.

Ya know, it really goes to show Dump's estimation of Biden's intelligence, thinking the guy would be stupid enough to choose someone who can't even be allowed into the office as his VP.

In fairness Biden is pretty clearly in a state of cognitive decline. It's hardly consistent but the signs are there.

And yes, Sen. Harris was born in Oakland. Of course it doesn't matter where she grew up. And the birtherism has much more to do with her black and Indian ancestry than it does with her growing up in one of the richest neighbourhoods in Canada. (If anything that would be a point in her favour to someone like Trump who only respects wealth. Remember that there were reports that Trump was amenable to the idea of allowing rich people from Asia to immigrate to the US, whereas Steve Bannon was opposed to it. Trump's racism is very much rooted in classism, and it becomes racism both to appeal to his audience and because, in the US, black and Hispanic people are disproportionately poor while white people are disproportionately rich, a legacy of course of slavery and Jim Crow.)
