Florida man worries about Harris qualifications to "run the free world"
"She's only been vice president for four years," Frank said, seeming not to realize that that gives her more experience than almost every president in the past 50 years.
This call from Frank in Florida to my SiriusXM program is the quintessential example of toxic masculine anxiety at the idea of a woman leading the country.
Frank began by answering his own question, asking what qualifications Kamala Harris has besides “only [being] vice president for four years.”
I then went through presidents of recent decades, from Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and explained how none of them had the foreign policy experience that Harris has had, having served not only as vice president for four years—under a president who is a master of foreign policy—but also having sat on the Homeland Security Committee and the Intelligence Committee as a U.S. senator.

When I asked Frank what foreign policy experience any of those presidents had, he in fact could not answer.
Finally cornered—and angry that I called him out on misogyny—I asked him to explain in 30 seconds how she’s not more qualified than any of them.
He then spit out, “She can’t even put a sentence together.”
That’s when I dumped him—and became pretty angry. Can’t put a sentence together! Are you kidding me?!! When we’ve got Trump in cognitive decline!
I then played a clip of Trump making no sense, unable to literally put a sentence together. There’s nothing to Frank but Grade A sexism.
Listen in and let me know your thoughts!
Fourteen days after January 6. 2021, Kamala Harris was sworn in as Vice President – the first woman, the first Black American, and the first South Asian American to be elected to this position.
She has led the fight for the freedom of women to make decisions about their own bodies, the freedom to vote, and the freedom to drink clean water and breathe clean air.
Kamala’s experience of 4 years as Vice President and President of the Senate, her experience as a Senator for 4 years and her experience as Attorney General of California for 6 years prepared her well for the Presidency of the United States!
Period.
That's why I wear this Kamala t-shirt with PRIDE 👇

Can't wait to vote for our FIRST woman president.
I just love when history is being made.
Pure sexism was coming out of his mouth. Not surprised that a man would say that. No offense to men who have evolved. I’m so tired of men thinking Women can’t be strong leaders in this country. We will prove them wrong in November. These next 4 years will be proof that Women are perfectly capable of leading this country and making decisions that help The People. I said it when we elected President Obama and I’ll say it now, ITS ABOUT TIME!
