This isn’t a surprise to those of us who understood that voting for VP Kamala Harris and electing her as President was the only way to stop this totalitarian nightmare we’re living in. Quit acting shocked.

That’s not diversity, that’s trying to take away the credit from Black folks once again.
Rep. Underwood has never needed someone else to pitch her ideas and she’s certainly not gonna let someone that hasn’t passed a single piece of legislation do it.
