While introducing Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as a featured speaker at a black church, Democrat bundler Eugene Duffy described Attorney General Jeff Sessions as a Ku Klux Klanner. For her part, Harris pushed racial agitation between whites and “persons of color” while advancing black racial solidarity around left-wing and partisan Democrat politics.
Duffy spoke of his viewership of CNN while deriding Sessions, receiving applause from some in church’s pews. Harris, he said, had metaphorically pulled Sessions’ KKK sheets off:
In the last several months, as we were glued to CNN and C-SPAN, when [Kamala Harris] questioned that white supremacist Jeff Sessions, without fear, without caution, she called in the words of our neighbor down the street Dr. King when he said that the governor of Alabama mouth was dripping of the words of interposition and nullification, she pulled his Brooks Brothers sheet off.

Harris’ speech hyped assorted neo-Marxist racial narratives, expressing support for “Black Lives Matter” and anti-American demonstrations from NFL athletes, coaches, and team owners in the form of kneeling during pre-game national anthem recitals.
Racism against blacks and assorted bigotries against women, homosexuals, and Jews were rising after the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, according to Harris:
And this is a moment then, that we know that our country is experiencing an assault on our deepest values, an assault on our commitment to equality, to fairness, and to justice. So let’s speak truth. Let’s speak truth that we have been reminded of too often over these last few months.
Racism is real in this country. Sexism is real in this country. Homophobia is real in this country. Anti-Semitism is real in this country.”
Harris portrayed blacks as marginalized and oppressed across America, describing Republicans as seeking to deny “persons of color” the ability to vote.

Evoking black racial solidarity reminiscent of former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin’s “chocolate city” speech, Harris spoke of Atlanta’s supposedly special value for black American politicians:
Coming to Atlanta for anybody who has held elected office in this country, wherever they may be from, if they are black, to come to Atlanta is to come home.
The aforementioned event took place on Sunday at First Congregational Church in Atlanta, GA.
Harris’ conduct since assuming senatorship in January of 2017 suggests she is contemplating a presidential run in 2020.
Hillary Clinton lamented what she described as a lack of political unity among women — as if one’s sex should inform their politics — as compared to what she described as black racial unity in support for Barack Obama; via NPR (emphases added):
I did win the women’s vote. I didn’t win the vote of white women, but I got more white women votes than Barack Obama did. I think it’s much more difficult to unpack all of this, and with respect specifically to young women, I do think that for a lot of young women, gender is just not the motivating force that maybe it will be in the future. But then it wasn’t. The same way that being African-American was really motivating and exhilarating for black voters.
Clinton (and her supporters, more broadly) regularly blames “sexism” and “misogyny” for her electoral defeat in last year’s presidential election, indicting America as largely afflicted with the two social pathologies.
