Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Kamala's attack on Biden was months in the making [View all]Jarqui
(10,130 posts)20. I was looking at the tweeted picture
She was born in 1964.
If that picture was taken around the time she was eight, Joe wasn't even in the Senate so how is he responsible for her busing at that time?
If she was ten in the picture, how is a man who was a senator for less than two years responsible for her busing?
I'm still assessing right and wrong between the two politicians here but choosing to use that photo which is misleading and the timing of it being tweeted at the end of the debate is a strike against Harris. This was a political attack that seemed more calculated to damage rather than carry a substantive point fairly.
Harris currently leaves me with an uneasy suspicion of dishonesty or slight of hand.
If I were to vote in a presidential
