Disgraced Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) declared during a Wednesday appearance on “The View” that it is nearly impossible to “find someone better qualified in our history to become president” than Vice President Kamala Harris.
Schiff’s comments came despite the fact that Harris did not receive a single delegate during her 2020 presidential campaign and only served as a senator from 2017 to 2021 — where she was listed as the “most liberal” senator, even further left than socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), according to GovTrack’s 2019 report. Prior to that, Harris served as California’s attorney general from 2011 to 2017, where she was known for keeping inmates in prison beyond their release date to use as cheap labor and withholding evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row. It is also alleged that Harris only achieved her positions in California thanks to her “relationship” with a much older married man, former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown (D).

According to Schiff, this record makes Harris one of the most qualified people in the United States to become president.
His comments came in response to a question from “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin, who stated: “Republicans are in full attack mode against the vice president. Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett called her a DEI hire. On Monday JD Vance claimed that Kamala was not grateful for this country, really trafficking in racial tropes, right, black people should be grateful for being here. Previously he’s even gone so far as to call her one of the childless cat ladies who is miserable with her life and has no direct stake in America because she’s not a mother. How low do you think they are going to go? The bar is pretty low already obviously.”
Schiff responded, “Oh, I think we have just scratched the surface of how low they’re going to go. Those comments by JD Vance are disgraceful and just plain stupid. These attacks on the vice president for being somehow for being somehow unqualified to be president, she’s the Vice President of the United States. She’s the former senator from the largest state of the union, the former attorney general from the largest state of the union, former prosecutor. It is hard to find someone better qualified in our history to become president. So those attacks are what Republicans do, I suppose, when their candidate’s prior experience is being a business fraudster, a sexual offender, someone who rips off his own charity, a convicted criminal, reality TV star become president, that’s his resume. I will take Kamala Harris’ resume any day of the week.”

Meanwhile, it is apparent to many Americans that Harris was only chosen as vice president because of her skin color and gender — as President Joe Biden vowed to choose a black woman as his vice president prior to choosing her.
If I win the nomination, my pick for vice president will be a woman. If I win the presidency and have the opportunity, I will name the first black woman ever to the Supreme Court.

Biden also made comments alluding to the fact that Harris was a DEI hire just two months ago.
“To me, the values of diversity, equality, inclusion are literally — and this is not kidding — the core strengths of America,” Biden said during a speech in Philadelphia, according to a White House website transcript. “That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history that taps into the full talents of our country. And it starts at the top with the Vice President.”
Joe Biden admits Kamala Harris is a DEI hire.
