*Former Ohio state Senator Nina Turner expressed disappointment that Kamala Harris feels compelled to select a white man as her vice-presidential candidate.
In a recent interview on “CUOMO,” Turner pointed out the historical dominance of white men in presidential and vice-presidential roles, News Now Nation reports.
“People are talking about affirmative action,” Turner said on “CUOMO.” “We are affirming affirmatively, right now, accepting the fact that she has to pick a white man.”
Harris will announce her running mate before Aug. 7, ahead of the Democrats’ virtual nomination roll call. Pundits believe she must choose a straight white man to be deemed a viable candidate.
“45 of the 46 presidents were white men, and 46 of the 46 vice presidents were white men,” Turner said.
An insider noted that Harris wants a running mate who balances the ticket, has executive experience, and shares good chemistry with her.
Watch Turner’s conversation with Chris Cuomo on via the YouTube clip below. In the clip’s comments, one person wrote, “So they’re openly discussing that the Democratic nominee for VP should be based on the candidates race and sex, but the Democratic VP nominee in 2020 was based on merit, but not race or sex. Makes sense.”
Another person added, “This is the most racist conversation i’ve heard in years. Leave it to the Jim Crow Demo’s.”
A third wrote, “That vp pick is going to be hard to fill. Imagine someone who is going to be abused for 4 years like the staff who worked for her. Wow!”
