Even New York Times admits Kamala would be America’s wokest president ever

As vice president, Harris ordered intelligence agencies to investigate the use of gendered language and made identity politics the top priority for federal agencies.

It is safe to say that Kamala Harris has not done a great job of really explaining what America and the world would look like were she to win the presidency.

While she talks about being “unburdened by what has been”, it’s been up to her surrogates to fill in the blanks.

And have they ever.

The New York Times, as reliable a cheerleader for the vice president’s campaign as you can get, ran a puff piece Saturday about Harris’ time as Joe Biden’s number two.

According to the paper, her first concern on getting access to all the three-letter agencies’ top secret intelligence briefings was that they used … wait for it … gendered language and identity politics.

One of the first things Kamala Harris did as VP was to order an investigation into the use of gendered language in intelligence reports.

“Kamala Harris was struck by the way two female foreign leaders were described. The reports used adjectives that, in her view, were rarely used to describe male leaders,” the Times reported.

To fix this, Harris ordered a review into “gender bias” in intelligence briefings.

No pattern of bias was found but nevertheless “intelligence officials added a new training class for analysts on how to judge and assess female foreign leaders.”

Now, the fact that American intelligence agents were forced to submit to lectures by human resources midwits about how they could and could not describe, say, Angela Merkel is not the only reason the world has become a far more dangerous place under Biden and Harris.

But do we want a world where intelligence analysts are made to feel like they could get hauled in for using the wrong adjective in a briefing?

It didn’t stop there. The Times piece went for several thousand words in this vein, describing all the ways in which Harris as VP directed federal agencies to put race and gender and that woke watchword “equity” front and centre of everything they did.

Far from learning the recent lessons of woke diversity and DEI programs – they don’t help real diversity, they do cause organisational mayhem, and they utterly undermine excellence – Harris is keen to double down as president.

Amusingly the New York Times, in its very Ralph Wiggum sort of way, thought it was helping by publishing this.

In fact, all we learned from the Times’s story is that Harris is no moderate but instead a hard left progressive whose overriding concern is identity politics.

How much worse would the world be after four years of that? It barely bears thinking about.
