As Sen. Amy Klobuchar said the other night on MSNBC, that women in politics know attacks like this are coming. POC in politics face the added burden of putting up with racist attacks as well.

I remember all the unsubtle attacks on Barack Obama for 'not being up to the job.' Trump and his white grievance party ALWAYS assume that any POC getting a job is 'unqualified' and an 'affirmative action hire.' The only difference is that they've replaced affirmative action with DEI. Both were the socially acceptable way of using the N-word.

Sen. Klobuchar's advice was simple: know which attacks to ignore, know which ones to respond to, and know which ones to make fun of.

So far, all we've seen from the Trump campaign and his flying monkeys is a bunch of fearful people showing their asses. The Harris campaign so far has shown a remarkable agility in responding, ignoring and, best of all, making fun of them.

"Sen. Klobuchar's advice was simple: know which attacks to ignore, know which ones to respond to, and know which ones to make fun of."

The answer is: Most, none, and every single one as often as possible.

Nothing infuriates Republicans as much as poking fun at their pathetic attempts.

Kate Riga smartly said in the Talking Points Memo podcast yesterday that Vance is a DEI hire. He's was chosen to appeal to a certain group. It's always like that in politics. Everyone is chosen for their ability to bring in a certain group. End of story.

Seriously. How stupid was Donald Trump to tell people how much he hates being laughed at. And Kamala has the best, most infectious laugh around!

I love that advice - it’s helpful because there’s so much to choose from.
