Kamala: I ‘Would Require’ Tech to ‘Work With Us’ to Protect Our Democracy

In an interview with National Public Radio (NPR) that aired on Monday’s All Things Considered, Vice President Kamala Harris commented on the changes at Twitter by stating she “would require” leaders in the tech sector to “work with us who are concerned about national security” and “protecting our democracy.”

NPR White House Correspondent Asma Khalid, who conducted the interview, pointed out that Kamala didn’t clearly answer a question on whether Twitter could reach a point at which she stops using the platform, but told her that she has concerns about disinformation spreading.

The epically incompetent VP said, “So, what I would say about any social media site is this: I fully expect and would require that leaders in that sector cooperate and work with us who are concerned about national security, concerned about upholding and protecting our democracy, to do everything in their power to ensure that there is not a manipulation that is allowed or overlooked that is done with the intention of upending the security of our democracy and our nation.”

Translation: our VP would require Big Tech to serve the ideological agenda of the government under the guise of “protecting democracy” from “misinformation.”

Harris Condemns America’s “Racism,” “Sexism,” & “Xenophobia”

On March 19, 2021 , Harris and President Biden traveled to Atlanta to show solidarity with the city’s Asian American community, in the aftermath of an incident where a white man had shot and killed six local Asian women as well as two white people. Though there was no evidence that the shootings had been racially motivated, Harris said in a speech at Emory University: said: “Racism is real in America and it has always been. Xenophobia is real in America and always has been. Sexism, too.” She also suggested that former President Trump was to blame for an alleged spike in anti-Asian crimes that had occurred in the U.S. during 2020: “For the last year, we’ve had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian Americans, people with the biggest pulpits, spreading this kind of hate.”

Harris revisited these themes in a May 17, 2022 speech at the White House Rose Garden, where she said: “Racism is real in America. It has always been. Xenophobia is real in America. It has always been. Sexism too.”
