No, Kamala Harris didn't call Joe Biden racist

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The very first words of the very first statement that President Trump’s reelection campaign offered in response to the selection of Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) to be Joe Biden’s running mate were false.

“Not long ago,” the statement from campaign adviser Katrina Pierson read, “Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist and asked for an apology she never received.”

None of that is true, and given the alacrity with which similar claims spread following the Harris announcement, it’s worth explaining why.

The claim apparently stems from a moment in the first Democratic primary debate in late June 2019, when Harris and the former vice president were both contending for the party’s nomination. The candidates on the stage, all 10 of them, were discussing then-South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s record with his city’s Black population.

1. Right, she said she knew he was/is NOT racist.

2. No Harris did not call Biden a racist as a matter of fact made it clear she was not calling Biden

a racist.

Again, I come back to what I read at the time and the number of Biden people that refused to acknowledge that point and condemn Harris even though clearly Harris not only didn't call Biden a racist she stated exactly opposite.

3. She criticized his position on busing...

saying she called him a racist is a typical RW dog whistle.
