Not because Trump was convicted on 34 times convicted felon.

    The Daily Dot, Saturday - 08/03/2024 - 07:11 AM

    Kamala Harris is being attacked at a "DEI" vice president who, if elected, would be a "DEI" president. The usually wrongheaded Matt Bai recognizes that this is an unfair attack: It’s true that Joe Biden had committed to choosing a woman as his running mate by the time the death of George Floyd threw the country into turmoil in the summer of 2020.

Kinda like how you're a rapist AND a convict) woman mocking him, ripping the crap out of him and pointing out.
