In reply to the discussion: 'Her ambition got it wrong about Joe': Harris faces debate backlash [View all]Texin
(2,596 posts)He was less animated than I'm used to seeing him. That said, I too think Sen. Harris was heavy-handed in that exchange. I don't believe it was out of bounds necessarily, but the tone was all prosecutorial. It was like he was in the witness chair and she was grilling him like a criminal, complete with that prosecutorial pointing finger. She actually looked as if the two of them had been standing facing each other, she would have been jabbing him in the lapel. I'm a woman and that finger pointing bothered me, more for the fact that I felt very strongly that she was hurting herself with many (most?) males and not just a few women potential voters with that. It wasn't the accusation or implication delivered to Biden in my mind that unsettled me as it was the delivery of it that I feel may have hurt her. It's just been my observation that most people don't appreciate anyone getting in their face and jabbing their pointing finger at them.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
