All males and white females are insulted by Biden picking a black female as a VP running mate. President Donald Trump criticized his Democratic rival's vice presidential selection process, saying that some men are “insulted” by Joe Biden's selection of a black woman, Kamala Harris, as his running mate. In an interview Trump said, “I would be inclined to go a different route than what he’s done," indicating that Biden “roped himself off into, you know, a certain group of people."
Dems and the liberal media will twist and spin positive lies about Harris and Biden. The two fools will make each more dumb than they are.
