In reply to the discussion: I don't know if trolls started this but we need to be wary. Remember Nancy Pelosi [View all]applegrove
(118,600 posts)5. Harris is being nitpicked. Nancy was too. I'm drawing parallels and
saying with Nancy it was GOP trolls. And so many fell for it. Expect it during the Democratic nomination race. Don't fall for it. Maybe it was GOP trolls with this hot sauce thing or maybe not. Be wary of those who would fight a candidate without referencing their character, their talents or their policy positions. I've seen psychopaths use nitpicking to re-create the perceptions of people they want to control. It is a common technique with abusers, misogynists or harrassers. Nitpicking to control the perceptions of a group (democrats). Watch for it.

Yeah. Also, the "she is not black enough" posts on social media are mind boggling.

If a hot sauce scandal is the best they've got then Kamala has nothing to worry about.
