(Parody) Kamala Harris releases anti-Catholic campaign slogan

California Senator
Kamala Harris released her campaign slogan for her 2020 presidential election
campaign.
Reporting
exclusively to CNN and MSNBC after the second Democratic Primary Debate last
week, Harris’ campaign team revealed her official slogan is: “Kamala, Kamala,
hates every Catholic fella.”
“We feel that this
slogan best reflects Senator Harris’ views and the people she represents,” a
Kamala Harris campaign spokesperson told reporters at a press conference. “Why
else do you think she’s so hard on Joe Biden?”
Harris faced
controversy back in December 2018 when she and Hawaii Senator Maize Hirono (also
a Democrat) showed anti-Catholic bias against a federal judicial nominee by
President Donald Trump.
Brian Buescher, a
lawyer based in Omaha, Nebraska, was questioned by Harris and Hirono about his
membership with the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic lay organization for men.
The
Senate confirmed Buescher last month as a federal judge by a vote of 51-40.
Harris didn’t cast
her vote in the decision. She and Hirono received criticism for their blatant
anti-Catholic rhetoric at the time of the confirmation hearing back in January.
Harris called the
Knights of Columbus an “all-male society” that excludes women and said that
Buescher’s membership in the organization, as well as his Catholic faith,
should automatically exclude him from serving in public office.
“Senator Harris has
made it clear she thinks Catholics aren’t capable of serving in public office
and have no place in the United States,” the Harris spokesperson said. “And to
her, Catholic men are the worst, especially if they practice their faith and conform
to Progressive policies.”
A reporter asked
the Harris spokesperson if those remarks were sexist because they exhibit an
“anti-men” bias.
The spokesperson
then went on a rant calling the reporter a sexist for saying that about a woman
running for President, only to realize in shock that the reporter was a woman
herself.
