Cristian Tudor Popescu commented on President Joe Biden’s decision to support Kamala Harris in the US presidential elections, characterizing the moment as “the biggest challenge in American history”.
In a message published on Facebook, CTC compares Kamala Harris with Laura Codruța Kovesi, the former chief prosecutor of DNA.
Kamala Harris and her diverse background
Between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris there was an extreme contrast, says the journalist, who recalls her racial and cultural diversity, recalling that her mother is of Indian origin, her father Jamaican and her husband Jewish
“Ms. Kamala Harris, the elected vice president, is a woman of Asian origin, after her Indian mother, her father is black from Jamaica, and she is a woman and married to a Jew. This is what a racial and cultural mix it represents. I would say, please hold your breath, that Mrs. Kamala Harris is a kind of Laura Codruța Kovesi of America” - I said in November 2020(…) about the former Attorney General of California, now the Democratic candidate with the best chances of entering in battle with D. Trump”.
“Kamala Harris is both, plus she’s Asian and Jewish. Biden was a president based on the values of democracy, which he served exemplary, but, like Trump, he is white, Anglo-Saxon and male, the shock was softened.
There is now virtually no safety net left for the American voter. On the one hand a promiscuous misogynist, anti-immigrant, anti-abortion, anti-justice, anti-democracy, proviolence and prominence, criminal tried and convicted, but under the protection of a campaign God; on the other, a daughter of immigrants, childhood victim of racial segregation, a lawman, a militant against the death penalty and for the rights of disadvantaged minorities.
The contrast button is at its maximum, there is no middle ground between the two Americas”, CTP concluded.
