Cardi B Slams Political Misogyny, Calls Kamala Harris Disrespect ‘Disgusting’
Cardi B doesn’t want any misogyny towards Kamala Harris.
The rapper took to X to share a 20-minute Spaces rant, expressing empathy that following President Joe Biden’s dropout from the presidential race, Vice President and potential Democratic nominee Kamala Harris “has 70, 80 days to change people’s perspective of her.”
She continued, “I always knew how people are when it comes to women, but the disrespect? Listen, if you don’t like her as a politician, that’s you. But if you disrespect her because she’s a woman? It’s very disgusting.”
Cardi added, “It’s crazy because four, five days ago, I was like, ‘Yo, I feel like I’m not a feminist.’ I’ve been feeling like a lot of these women are your worst enemies. The toughest critics are women. […] But then, the natural self of me is like, ‘Damn, maybe I am a feminist.’
“Men are always gonna blame your success on her p—-. People are blaming her success on her p—-. What? She f—ed Joe Biden? She f—ed the whole Democratic Party that the whole Democratic Party decided she should be Vice President? I hate that narrative because I feel like women work harder than men.”
The rapper concluded, “The way that y’all disrespect her, makes me like her.”
Since Biden’s endorsement of Harris, countless party members, public figures and voters alike provided an outpouring of support for the attorney-turned-politician’s last-minute campaign, which raised more than $50 million in fundraising less than a day after it launched. “On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country,” Harris wrote in a public response to the news. “I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.”
