Washington Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said Tuesday that Joe Biden's historic selection of Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate fulfills the central message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic final sermon, in which the late civil rights leader preached about seeing"the promised land" from a divine"mountaintop."
Harris, a former presidential candidate who represents California, was announced earlier Tuesday as Biden's running mate, making her first Black woman and South Asian American woman to run on a major political party's presidential ticket."There was much reflection, but a lot of tears and a lot of reflection on the history of what we're making today. What I would say is that so many women have tried to climb that mountaintop that Dr.
BrookeBCNN Wired. First time I saw them together it wasn’t chills I felt. It was more like creeped out. Why does Joe sniff women and little girls? Who does that? Really.
BrookeBCNN Being a cop is the mountaintop? Come on.
BrookeBCNN That’s just gas.
BrookeBCNN
BrookeBCNN Camala knows about getting to the 'mountain top'
BrookeBCNN This woman will lie through her teeth to help destroy the country

BrookeBCNN There's somebody out there that's dumber than JacksonLeeTX18 - we just have to keep searching until we find them!
BrookeBCNN Wasn’t Obama on the mountain top ? Hope n change didn’t work out too well. Election2020
BrookeBCNN Et ça c'est bien dit
BrookeBCNN Serious question, if Kamala Harris is so great, why isn't she at the top of the ticket, and why did she drop out before Iowa?
**산상수훈*** 같은 계시 받고 카멜라 를 부통령 (후보)로~ 충분히 발생 가능한 일 ////
Uh huh.
Just remember how Kamala treated Kavanaugh during his Confirmation and how she accussed Biden of being guilty of rape during the Democratic debates.
She is NOT African American though...
It’s going to be historic when she is going to lose in November with sleepy Joe.
cnn Dr. King’s I have a Dream’ speech. I love this excerpt. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Hmmm I thought we did that with Obama? Maybe Sheila wasn’t paying attention!
Quite the contrary... this Democrat Party has MLK Jr. rolling in his grave. What part of **judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin** do Democrats preach? Their entire party is race-based tribalism.
I don’t think Dr. King had this in mind!
NEVER VOTE FOR Biden/Harris if you are Black as BOTH are responsible for TWO whole generations of Black men getting felony charges for misdemeanors and thus NEVER getting accepted to college or having decent job opportunity TAKE OFF YOUR BLINDERS YOU FOOLS KamalaHarrisIsNotBlack

Maybe to the valley of hell is more like it.
Polishing a turd doesn’t make it better.
🌹Wow !!🌹 Excellent !! Well said !! The tiDe has just begun to tuRn !!
Harris, really
Good choice.
The mountain of debt
Oh good God. Overhyped much?
Kamala Harris is corrupt, perfect choice to guarantee trump re-election! Thank you DNC....the gifts keep coming!
This is who Biden went with after taking months to decide? A first term senator who slept her way to the top (williebrown) that failed miserably in the primaries. If this was a white male no way she’d even be considered. Affirmative action is alive and well.
She called joe Biden a racist
Biden/Harris The Democratic ticket that come from slave owners!
cnn = Fake News
A corporate wet dream for the now moderate Republican party that calls themselves Democrats and a nightmare for the 99% American people.
Kamala or joe don’t like blacks check their record
This is the Democrat version of McCain/Palin.
So I guess a black president for 8 years doesn't count.
The promise land of socialism.
Hate the idea that the expection by the left for a running partner was to be a women and of color. Those 2 characteristics shouldn't have mattered. But then again, I wouldn't have expected anything less from the dirty left. Equality of opportunity.
“Historic”
I believe Kamala when she said “Joe Biden is a racist.”
And of course she fits the narrative of all African America!
Is that what we call jail now? 'The promised land'? Cause she puts loads of people in there and keeps them there for labour projects. That's her history and don't see how it would be different now.
Maybe one step before but it's good. We have a chance to transition logic here to the better kind. 2024 seems like a great year for the first female president? Biden knows a great balance, that's why Obama ran with him before. Small changes make a big one subtle
I'll leave this here... ⬇️
So Obama did not count? Or do we have to keep placing minorities second to whites? I would think if Joe really cared he would step aside and allow her to take the lead.
Yes Martin Luther wanted someone to be chosen for the color of their skin, not the content of their character!! You nailed it Congresswoman
MLK advocated for racial Balkanization, quotas and judging people based on their immutable characteristics.
Kamala descendents were slave owners.
All the hater in the replies smh. lets do this BidenHarris2020
It's an affirmative action, identity politics pick that ignores the left and independents that wanted Bernie, Yang, Warren, tulsi or anyone else that isn't an establishment loser. I'll be staying home in November.
I think Mr King was saying he would like to see Africa American earn this honor. Kamala is not Africa American or even Black.
MLK Jr. was a socialist.. what promised land are y’all talking about?
I had predicted Susan Rice but this is a much better choice. Ms. Rice will be more suited for Secretary of State.
When race and color become the main factor for qualifying people, the country is in trouble.
Democrats really decided to pick an old white man and a cop... you literally cannot make this hypocrisy up
Don’t you find it odd that has tweeted more about whose running for Vice President than the guy who is running for President? Wonder why....
No hope in hell. Dream on.
Slave owner family from the Caribbean is a far cry for the mountain stop Miss Jackson
