Ned Ryun: Kamala Harris Said She Didn’t Think She Should Pick Someone Who Was Gay. Who’s Bigoted In This Situation?
American Majority CEO Ned Ryun reacts to excerpts from former Vice President Kamala Harris’ upcoming book on FNC’s “Ingraham Angle” with guest host Brian Kilmeade. According to excerpts of the book, Harris considered former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as her top choice for the VP slot, but didn’t think America could accept a black woman and a gay man on the same ticket.
BRIAN KILMEADE: Ned, I want you to hear Josh Shapiro weighed in today about Kamala Harris and the revelation in her book. Listen. STEPHEN A. SMITH, HOST: How should we feel when we hear something that we suspected but wasn’t acknowledged by politicians? GOV. JOSH SHAPIRO (D-PA): She’s gonna have to answer to how she was in the room and yet never said anything publicly… I was very vocal with him privately and extremely vocal with his staff about my concerns about his fitness to be able to run for another term. BRIAN KILMEADE, FOX NEWS: Ned, can’t you just hear the primary? You know Joe had lost it and you didn’t say a word. NED RYUN, AMERICAN MAJORITY: Right? No, this is just a terrible decision. It goes towards, points towards her terrible decision-making. First of all, terrible decision to even publish this book. Like, who read the draft and said, this is a great idea for your political career to write this book? First of all, you’re flaming Biden, the guy that made you the vice president. You’re flaming your VP pick, Tim Walz. And on top of that, you’re insulting the American people saying they’re racist and homophobic and bigoted. Which by the way, I would like to make this point, Brian. She clearly states in this book, as a black woman, I didn’t think I should pick someone who was gay. I mean, who’s bigoted in this situation? She didn’t pick Pete because he was gay. But it also shows terrible decision-making that she thinks Pete Buttigieg, who was a terrible mayor, who was an even worse secretary of transportation who oversaw the collapse of America’s air traffic control system, would somehow be a good VP pick for her. Whatever she thinks her political career is, I think this book is like another nail in the coffin of whatever political career she thinks she might have, which I don’t think is much of one anyway.
