Oh My: Kamala Explains Why She Didn't Pick Pete Buttigieg as Her Running Mate

I'm not sure exactly what the point of Kamala Harris' book is. 

If she wants to run for president again, she seems to be revealing things that hurt her chances and make her look worse at this point.

After all this time, she decided to say in the book that it was "reckless" for Joe Biden to have tried to run in 2024. She also blamed the Biden team for not giving her the ability to shine in the job. So what you're saying is you couldn't even succeed in getting Joe Biden to take you seriously? So why should anyone take you seriously as a candidate for the future? How would you handle presidential responsibilities when you couldn't even properly deal with Joe Biden and his team?

The Atlantic just published another big revelation from her book. As I said, I'm surprised she said this out loud and in writing. 

As Kamala Harris rushed to pick a running mate last year, her “first choice” was her close friend Pete Buttigieg, but she decided that it would be “too big of a risk” for a Black woman to run with a gay man.

Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner—if I were a straight white man,” Harris writes in a passage of her soon-to-be-released book, 107 Days, that I saw. “But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.”

“And I think Pete also knew that—to our mutual sadness.”

So she just said that, despite believing Pete Buttigieg was the best choice, she didn't pick him because he was gay, and his sexual orientation would hurt her chances. 

I think he would have been a lousy candidate with a failed background. So I don't think much of him, or of her judgment, if she thought he was the best choice. But not picking him because you think it hurts your chances, that's cowardly. That's the opposite of picking on merit -that's discriminating based on him being gay. So much for her adherence to alleged Democrat values. Of course, "Democrat values" translates to doing anything to win. They see everything through the lens of identity groups - it dominates why they do anything. 

So think about it for a second. Instead of picking Pete, she chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and his jazz hands, to "connect" with men. Has there ever been a candidate more clueless than Kamala? Well, it might be a tight race with Hillary Clinton. 

Kamala is also saying she thinks the American people wouldn't accept him because he's gay - so she's rejecting him first. So she doesn't trust the American public to pick who she thinks would be best.

Then, too, she's dumping on Tim Walz a bit with this comment, making it clear she didn't think he was the best choice. He was the consolation prize that no one wanted. 

Bottom line: Both Buttigieg and Walz were terrible, and Kamala was awful, which is why she was rejected. If she chose Pete, she still would have lost. She's just admitting she doesn't have the courage of her convictions. I wouldn't pick her to lead a team of workers at Chuck E Cheese. Why would anyone pick her to lead the United States?
