Commentary: At the DNC, Kamala Harris didn't apologize for her ambition. She embraced it

On a night when Kamala Harris accepted the nomination to be vice president, former President Obama delivered his harshest attack in years against President Trump.Hillary’s leadership strengths were often considered deficits by the press and public: She was too aggressive, too combative, too serious. Why didn’t she smile more? Her marriage to Bill Clinton was weaponized by the right, and lionized by the left.

Flash forward to Harris’ big DNC night. The intro played before Harris stepped out onstage to give her acceptance speech as Joe Biden’s running mate on the ticket featured a litany of folks singing her praises, both as a defender of the peopleIt was a refreshing change from the nuclear family norm women have had to adhere to on the campaign trail. Little to nothing has been made about Harris’ background as a wife or mother.

Wednesday felt like proof that Harris had smashed yet another glass ceiling: she was being celebrated rather than shamed for breaking tradition. When Pelosi, Clinton and Warren, all of whom helped pave the way for Harris, spoke in support of her, they made a point to highlight the warrior side of Harris — and the challenges of being a woman, especially in Trump’s America.

When Clinton spoke, she went out of her way to say that Jill Biden would continue her job teaching if she became first lady. It was notable considering the flak Clinton took for being a career woman when her husband first stepped into the political arena. And she celebrated Harris’ reputation as a formidable fighter. “I know something about the slings and arrows she’ll face and believe me, this former district attorney and attorney general can handle them all.

Warren, too, spoke from experience. But she referred to her time as a young mother, rather than her lengthy political career, to drive the point home that the government needs to do more for strapped parents struggling to work and raise kids: “I loved teaching,” she said of her former life as an educator. “When I had babies and was juggling my first big teaching job down in Texas, it was hard. But I could do hard. The one thing that saved me was child care.

No apology to Mrs Willie Brown and their children? Didn’t think so. No shame.

And she’s kinda hot.

So KamalaHarris embraced the lies, treachery, deceit, hypocrisy including her failure to garner ANY support as a candidate on her own. Riding on another now JoeBiden as she’s ridden on others before?

Nobody should apologize for one's ambitions and accomplishments.

on both knees

Oh she embraced it for sure......lmfao
