The media's unelected Democrats cannot tolerate anyone questioning the racial authenticity of Kamala Harris. On This Week, ABC's cantankerous George Stephanopoulos yelled at Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) over Trump questioning her racial shape-shifting. Donalds calmly stated and repeated that this is a phone issue, and that George was the one obsessing over race.
But it's far too common for journalists to question the blackness of black conservatives and Republicans, and suggest they're just pandering to the white man. ABC's The View did this in June, as Joy Behar suggested Donalds was stupid, and Sunny Hostin bizarrely implied black Republicans were mythical figures, like "unicorns."
But when Trump said in Atlanta that Harris was a "low-IQ individual," CNN morning host Kasie Hunt said this was "definitely race-related." These people have a field full of cows when you pronounce her name Ka–MAH-la. But you can compare Trump to Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and Mao, homicidal tyrants all, is fair game.
The contrast in "accountability" between Republicans and Democrats was on display on Sunday and Monday. After yelling at Byron Donalds on Sunday, Stephanopoulos sounded remarkably soft on Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), celebrating her new book. He began "You wrote a book called The Art of Power. How is power an art?" Then there’s this:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Your book is also in many ways a plea for political civility and decency. You open of course with the attack on your husband from a couple of years ago. The harrowing events of January 6th. It does seem like we've gone off the rails in many ways.
These people are so preposterous. Pelosi was consistently celebrated. On CBS Sunday Morning, she bizarrely suggested President Biden belonged on Mount Rushmore. CBS's Lesley Stahl expressed a little skepticism, but then launched into puffing Pelosi's excellence: “If there were a Mount Rushmore for Speakers of the House, Nancy Pelosi would certainly be up there, commemorating her 20 years as a commanding leader in Congress.”
