It really is kind of sad knowing that I had to go to a foreign news service to find out just how bad the divide is between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris.
While I have heard for the past few years of the ill-will between the heavies in the Democrat Party, I really had no idea just how bad the rift really is.
After all, pretty much everyone is already familiar with the Barack Obama’s purported quote of “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up” (as noted by the NY Post).
Many of us are at least aware of the rumors that Michelle Obama never had a BFF relationship with Jill Biden, and anyone with even a lick of common sense can see that the choice of Kamala Harris was/is remains the ultimate DEI hire.
Buy in light of the latest out of Great Britain, all I can say is “OUCH!”
Here’s just a bit of the report as reported by Laura Collins and Josh Boswell and Ken Silberstein of London’s DailyMail.com;
When Kamala Harris took to the stage during a Democratic primary debate before the 2020 election and implied that Joe Biden was racist, his wife, Jill’s, response was crystal clear.
‘Go f**k yourself,’ the then-future first lady vented, as she allegedly admitted during a conference call with supporters.
And the relationship between the two women – that began badly enough during that contentious battle for the presidential nomination – has only gone downhill from there.
Now, political insiders have told DailyMail.com that Democratic advisors are struggling to push past the powerful role that Jill Biden‘s loathing of Harris, 59, is playing in Joe‘s resistance to pass the mantle to his VP as pressure ratchets up for him to step down as presidential candidate and allow another Democrat tackle Donald Trump.
According to one former Democrat operative in Jill’s circle, the women’s long-seated animosity is ‘one hundred per cent’ part of Jill’s resistance to having her 81-year-old husband step aside.
Because the truth, according to a source who knows the First Couple well, is that Jill’s is now the only voice to which the 46th president listens.
And as far as Jill, 73, is concerned, the only thing worse than her husband stepping down would be Kamala stepping up to replace him.
The bad blood between the First Lady and the Vice President, a feeling so strong that one source described it as, ‘hatred,’ dates to June 2019, when Kamala was running against Biden and condemned him during a televised debate for opposing aspects of mandatory busing for school desegregation.
‘Jill holds grudges,’ one Democrat insider revealed. ‘She doesn’t let things go and she has never forgiven Kamala for comments that some took to be allegations of racism.’
