Literally why Joe chose her.. he even said so when he chose her.. lol, why the outrage?

[BruthaVIII]

Not a "shock moment", but rather a truth moment.

[urbugnmetoday]

She’s the actual definition of a diversity hire…he probably doesn’t remember but he said so…

[loveamerica]

As a Black American, I love these answers. The truth sounds and feels as right as rain.

[mhsandifer]

That's what Joey claimed he was going to do....

[Ensinger]

HARRIS IS NO “AFRICAN AMERICAN” HER MOTHER IS FROM INDIA (not black; dark caucasians) Her Father Jamaican (White and undetermined Caribbean ancestry mixtures possibly some Native DNA

[itsablessingbeinganamerica]

Off course, she's a diversity hire. SMH

[rockdean]

Not one American voted for her to run for president. Not one. Very democratic. 😢

[Steve-yold]

Lol, I'm pretty sure everyone knew that from day one!👌

[rustyshackleford]

She was chosen for her race and gender’s

[Peter_Panic]

That’s not shocking.
It’s shocking someone with mic and camera in there face loves truth enough to speak it.

[augustday]

The only thing shocking about that statement is how many people don't realize it yet.

[ChrisF-jtqf]

She was in 8th place in the 2020 convention before she got the VP spot lol

[tanitatt]

Where’s the lie? She didn’t even get 1% during the primaries ….

[mickeyandres]

He’s right, she has nothing to offer.

[jasonc]

The house is still standing and nobody is being held accountable 🤔
Americans are being played like a fiddle.

[JohnSmith-eb]

SHOCK MOMENT: Politician speaks plainly and truthfully about reality

[IRaoulDuke]

She was and everyone is done pretending otherwise.

[susanjane]

Well it's about time people speak the truth! Keep going! Spill all the beans!

[keithfowler]

Show me where he lied. 100 percent truthful.
