Kamala Harris Took Women for Granted
Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President of the United States, has long been seen as a champion for women’s rights and equality. However, recent events have shown that she may not always prioritize the needs and concerns of women, especially women of color.
One example of this is Harris’ handling of the crisis at the southern border. When faced with a surge of migrant children arriving at the border, Harris was tasked with addressing the root causes of migration from Central America. However, her response to the crisis has been criticized for failing to address the unique challenges faced by migrant women and girls, who are often subjected to violence, exploitation, and abuse on their journey to the United States.
Furthermore, Harris has been accused of taking women for granted by not adequately supporting policies that would benefit them. For example, during her time in the Senate, Harris did not support Medicare for All, a policy that would have provided universal healthcare coverage for all Americans, including women who often face barriers to accessing affordable healthcare.
Additionally, Harris has faced backlash for her handling of sexual harassment allegations against her former aide, Larry Wallace. Despite being made aware of the allegations, Harris reportedly allowed Wallace to continue working for her, putting the safety and well-being of women at risk.
While Harris has made strides in her career and broken barriers for women in politics, it is important to hold her accountable for her actions and ensure that she prioritizes the needs and concerns of all women, especially those who are marginalized and often overlooked. Women deserve a leader who will fight for their rights and advocate for policies that will improve their lives, and Harris must do better in order to truly represent and uplift women in the United States.
