Briahna Joy Gray: White House is setting Harris up to move past her

Briahna Joy Gray, the host of the Bad Faith podcast, said the White House is setting up Vice President Kamala Harris to usher in another candidate.

The White House is "intentionally putting her in a position where they can have a plausible excuse to move past her. The article cites a possibility of moving her into a Supreme Court position in a way to promote her up and out of the way to make room for someone like Pete Buttgieg," Gray said on Hill.TV's "Rising."

Gray's comments come off the back of a CNN report that highlighted frustrations between Harris's team and other White House officials.

Harris has been tasked under President Biden over difficult issues such as the southern border and voting rights, with Harris aides saying the vice president is not getting assignments where she can succeed.

It seems to me there is a lot of unfair scrutiny of VP Harris. The media doesn’t seem to know how to treat her as the Vice-President. They seem stuck on covering her as a Black Women and can’t get past that.

I think Supreme Court Justice would be a very appealing career move for her.

encouraged others to do likewise.

They contributed to putting trump in office and giving us the Supreme Court we have today.

Among DEMOCRATS, their opinion is not welcome, and they do NOT get a seat at the table. What they did in 2016 is unforgivable.

Of course The Hill is only too glad to hear the opinions from these anti-Democratic party people.

They lied, distorted, and mispresented Hillary in 2016, and there is no reason to believe anything that comes out of their collective mouths

They are NOT Democrats, or part of the Democratic party, yet publications like The Hill give them a voice with the impression that they are.

Just so you know: "The Black News Channel" is a conservative front. Its run by a white guy named Bob Brillante and former Republican House rep JC Watt, a Black conservative.

They ran the same chyron about VP Harris as CNN did.


And who was their guest, repeating the CNN headline? None other than Democrat hating Nina Turner. There she sat, shilling for her RW Mercury Lobbyist & Media funders.

This Nina Turner.
Biden's a bowl of shit
VP Harris is a seat filler
Rep Clyburn is 'stupid'.


I ain't linking to it either.
Her vengence for the D Party & its leaders is despicable.

"The Black News Channel" is a conservative front. Its run by a white guy named Bob Brillante and former Republican House rep JC Watt, a Black conservative."

Remember this when supporting those who support her.
....

B Joy Gray is as deceitful as Nina, Sirota, Sarandon, Krystal Ball...etc...
They all work for the same RW media messaging.

And then Arizona and Georgia happened and they became sad along with their MAGASHIT Allies .

Gray claims, without evidence, that there is a rift between POTUS and the VP. Then she suggests that VP Harris will be moved over to the Supreme Court opening the VP position.

Which seat at SCOTUS? Does Gray know something about one of the Justices? Doesn’t the confirmation process take months (normally) of investigations and revelations?

What if the Senate doesn’t confirm her? Would she have to resign the vice presidency to be considered for the Court? Or would she retain the VP slot foiling this nefarious plot?

Gray, a total outsider in the Biden Administration reveals this “scoop” based on what?

This is so far-fetched, I call bullshit.


ETA: Gray's podcast is aptly named: "Bad Faith."

Her judicial experience is as California AG. While it isn't a requirement, when was the last time someone was appointed and confirmed to the SC without having served previously as a Federal Judge?

Both came from the academy.

Earl Warren, came from the California governor’s mansion, he had been California AG. A path not too dissimilar from Harris.

Kagan was not. Warren wasn't either, but he was appointed in 1953, so nearly 70 years ago.

So the last one was Kagan who was the first in nearly 60 years.

Kagan wasn't (she had clerked for Thurgood Marshall, and was Solicitor General of the US, and was nominated for DC Appeals). Others had very short stints as federal judges before being appointed to the Supreme Court. Marshall served for a bit under 4 years, for example.
