This was evidenced by Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 calls for Twitter to ban Trump from the social media network during the 2019 Democratic presidential debate \u2014 a gross violation of free speech \u2014 and unprecedented in American history.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Harris said Trump\u2019s tweets were \u201cirresponsible\u201d and \u201cerratic.\u201d But she said nothing of her current boss glorifying lunch with racist segregationists on the White House lawn last week during a congressional picnic, which disturbingly included<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/07\/12\/biden-again-reminisces-fondly-about-segregationist-sen-james-eastland\/\"> shout-outs by Biden to the late Sen. James Eastland<\/a>, a Democratic lawmaker from Mississippi who \u201coften spoke of blacks as an inferior race,\u201d according to the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>Never mind that Biden\u2019s second-in-command, Harris, is the first African American female vice president in history, or that his former boss, Barack Obama, is also black. Or that black voters helped deliver the presidency to Biden in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>At minimum, Biden\u2019s words were tone-deaf and racially insensitive. At worst, they disqualify him from holding any elected public office.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the left despicably calls fellow Americans (if they vote Republican) \u201cracists,\u201d \u201cterrorists\u201d and fill-in-the-blank atrocious smears, no matter how damaging their extreme rhetoric hurts the country and divides us, while getting offended themselves by virtually everything \u2014 including perfectly normal things like a woman calling herself a \u201cmother\u201d versus a \u201cbirthing person.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Khiara-Bridges-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Khiara-Bridges-2.jpg\" alt=\"Berkeley law professor Khiara Bridges\" class=\"wp-image-23090820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Khiara-Bridges-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Khiara-Bridges-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Khiara-Bridges-2.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Berkeley law professor Khiara Bridges called Sen.

Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Berkeley law professor Khiara Bridges<\/a> during a Senate hearing about the impact of the Supreme Court\u2019s recent decision to reverse Roe v.

When Hawley pressed her on this and whether abortion rights were a \u201cwomen\u2019s issue,\u201d she stunningly accused the lawmaker of being transphobic and cultivating violence against the trans community. \u201cThe Democrats say what they really think: Men can get pregnant and if you disagree, you are \u2018transphobic\u2019 and responsible for violence,\u201d Hawley tweeted Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>And yet the mainstream media told us for years while Trump was in office that he was a \u201cwhite nationalist,\u201d a \u201cracist\u201d and a \u201cmadman\u201d unfit to lead the nation.
