Vice President Kamala Harris is being called to resign from her position in order to give President Joe Biden a better chance at reelection.

Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post editorial board penned the opinion editorial published Friday. Parker wrote a similar recommendation to Sarah Palin, John McCain’s presidential pick ahead of the 2008 election.

“This is why I propose with all due respect that Harris step away from the ticket,” Parker wrote. “Please, Madame Vice President, do it for your country.”

Only 37% of those surveyed by FiveThirtyEight approve of Harris, an especially low approval rate for a vice president. Even at the end of then-Vice President Mike Pence’s term, his approval rating was only a seven-point drop from its beginning at 41%, according to a Gallup poll

Revenge of Poontronage

The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop.

That was Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker, in a March 15 piece headlined “For the Country’s Sake, Vice President Harris Should Step Aside,” a move proposed “with all due respect.” If readers wonder how much respect is due, a ballpark figure would be zero, and that was true from the start.

Kamala Harris owes everything to poontronage from Willie Brown, a Democrat queenmaker 30 years her senior. Brown set up his new girlfriend in lucrative sinecures and backed her run for district attorney in San Francisco. DA Harris went easy on gang member David Hill, who deployed an AK-47 to gun down San Francisco police officer Isaac Espinoza. That drew fire even from Dianne Feinstein, but in 2010 Brown still backed his main squeeze for state attorney general.

Harris was so lightly regarded that the Sacramento Bee, a reliable Democrat bullhorn, endorsed her Republican opponent Steve Cooley, district attorney of Los Angeles County. Cooley prevailed on election night but three weeks of ballot harvesting put Harris over the line by less than one percent. That was blatant election fraud for all but the willfully blind, which includes the composite character president.
