    if Willie Brown isn't mentioned this story lacks essential information to truly understand her path to success.
  • @arcangeloiurato
    Neil Cavuto called her an African American. Her father is Jamaican and her mother was Indian. Shows how hypocritical the media is.
  • NBC completely skipped the fact that Kamala received her first position by "flat backing" for Willie Brown. I remember and will vote accordingly.
  • @liviazambon1682
    She prosecuted thousands for smoking marijuana./Wanted to lock up parents if their kids missed school./Refused evidence for wrongfully convicted people./Ignored dozens of reports of police brutality. /And her lawyer defended her actions in regard to keeping people who committed petty crimes in jail by saying; "It would greatly affect the prison labor in California."
  • Simply said, she should not call herself only black. To be true she is half Indian and half Jamaican by ethnicity. She is from a mixed ethnicity. But she will use the Black tag to attract all black votes. Indians are also excited. Even though in public she will admit herself black all the time, she knows there are 2.5 million Indians in USA. Second biggest vote after Mexicans and Hispanic people. Very clever tactic from Biden

    How Kamala Harris went from being the First Asian Indian Senator to the first African-American Vice President.
  • Hard to cry out for police reform and justice system reform with these two in power. They love sending people to prison
  • @Offskew

  • @timoanez4668

  • @marklepe12
    Kamala is from India 🇮🇳 But in the United States she never mentions it.
  • @jho4832
    A former prosecutor goes against the criminal in the White House. Good against evil. Perfect!
  • @shapeloomis9975
    "First Indian American sworn in as Senator," now becomes First African American Vice Presidential candidate? Am I missing something? Pander much?
