VP introduces herself at roundtable on impact of Roe v Wade being overturned

  • VP said at a meeting with disability advocates Tuesday: ‘I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit’
  • Harris said that the overturn of Roe v. Wade ‘uniquely impacts’ women with disabilities
  • Event was to mark the 32nd anniversary of the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act 

An event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday featured her and guests at the table introducing themselves with their names, pronouns, and descriptions of their clothing, drawing both mockery and defense from media members online.

Harris led a roundtable about the overturning of Roe v. Wade and its effects on disabled people.

“Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her. I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit,” a masked Harris said while introducing herself.

Other figures at the table introduced themselves with such descriptions as, “I’m a Latina with blond highlighted hair, and I’m wearing a gray blazer over a black-shade dress,” and “my pronouns are she/her, I’m a White woman with long brown hair, I’m wearing a red dress, and I’m wearing a see-through mask so you can see my red lips.” Another said, “I am a Black woman with curly hair, and I am wearing a vintage black and floral dress.”

Conservatives who often mock liberals for embracing the idea of sharing their gender pronouns had a field day with the clip. It’s common on Twitter to see progressives share their pronouns in their bios.

“When did Kamala become a biologist?” comedian Tim Young quipped.

“This is why the rest of the world laughs at us,” ex-journalist Beth Baumann added.

“And they wonder why ordinary Americans think these people have lost their grip,” National Review’s Dan McLaughlin tweeted.

“If she would repudiate woke inanities and move towards a commonsensical centrism, she would be embraced by a majority of Americans. Instead, she just digs in,” the American Enterprise Institute’s Christina Sommers wrote.
