With two important election cycles looming just over the political horizon, the key for the Democrats is going to be stability. They’ve been in the White House with a majority in Congress for 18 months now, but with almost nothing to show for it on account of their fractured party and the obtuse nature of the Biden agenda.
Now, as the nation reacts to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Vice President Kamala Harris is getting torched for her tone deaf take on Twitter.
On her official vice president Twitter account, Harris posted an image of herself watching CNN’s coverage of pro-choice protests while flying on Air Force 2.
“I know there are women out there who are afraid. To those of you who feel alone and scared: I want you to know the President and I are fighting for you and your rights. We are in this fight together,” Harris tweeted.
It didn’t take long for people to begin responding…
ALTHOUGH SEVERAL OTHER DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS DENOUNCED THE COURT’S DECISION, MANY LIBERAL TWITTER USERS CALLED OUT HARRIS’ TWEET AS BEING TOO VAGUE AND MEANINGLESS.
“COULD YOU BE SPECIFIC? LIKE, *HOW* ARE YOU FIGHTING? DESCRIBE THE TACTICS, EXPLAIN THE POLICY, GIVE US THE RUNDOWN,” NEW YORK MAGAZINE CONTRIBUTOR HILLARY KELLY WROTE.
And there was more where that came from…
“NOT VP KAMALA HARRIS WATCHING THE EROSION OF #ROEVSWADE FROM HER PLANE, AT A DISTANCE. WHOEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD PHOTO-OP NEEDS TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS LITERALLY THE EMBODIMENT OF THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS,” WRITER ANNA GIFTY TWEETED.
SPORTS WRITER TRENT REINSMITH SIMILARLY ECHOED, “SO, MORE OR LESS, ‘THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS…'”
ERNEST OWENS, EDITOR-AT-LARGE FOR PHILADELPHIA MAGAZINE, TWEETED TO HARRIS, “CHANGE HIS MIND ON THIS [CHANGING THE FILIBUSTER TO PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS] AND I’LL BELIEVE YOU.”
With the midterm elections just around the corner, it would behoove the White House to show some spine on this, lest they wish to allow the radical fringes of the party some leeway for criticism.
