Former Trump aide schooled by Bakari Sellers after attack on Kamala Harris
Former Donald Trump White House communications official Alyssa Farah Griffin was called on CNN's "State of the Union" by co-panelist Bakarie Sellers after she claimed Vice President Kamala Harris is hurting President Joe Biden's re-election bid.
During a discussion about Biden's prospects of being re-elected, Farah Griffin suggested Harris is a drag on the ticket, telling host Jake Tapper, "You have an unpopular vice president in Vice President Kamala Harris who is polling beneath Joe Biden."
"Usually the VP's job is do no harm and give people confidence that you can step in the next day and be that president and that would be a drag on for someone with me that is a neither-sider," she insisted.
"First of all, I have to address the first part," Sellers immediately replied. "I mean she's the first vice president of the United States that doesn't look like any of the other ones that came before her."
"And the first woman and first person of color," host Tapper interjected.
"Correct," Sellers replied. "And the media is struggling to figure out how to cover her as well as she was trying to figure out how to do the job well."
"The vice presidency is not a job that comes with the glitz and glamor and she's not held to the same standard of Mike Pence, so I want to clarify that," he added.
