Unelected Bureaucrats Ruining Policy Again-Wait, Who is Meena Harris?
I don’t follow people that are famous. They are typically just useful idiots that get recruited for causes because they don’t know any better. When I became old enough to think for myself I pretty much tuned them all out. Somehow a lot of them can still gather a following. This would include Meena Harris. She owes her fame to Aunt Kamala.
I’m not going to knock her smarts. I don’t know much about her except that she knew enough to take advantage of her last name. Just like the Biden clan, she has used the family name to make money. She put together a clothing company called Phenomenal that puts social justicy sounding words, and her last name, on shirts. She was quick to cash in on her Aunt Kamala’s selection as Biden’s VP pick, but was pushed away from the campaign:
In August, Meena urged the Biden team to sell a shirt in the campaign’s store she designed with influencer Cleo Wade, with the words “The First But Not the Last” printed on it alongside a picture of a young Kamala Harris, according to Politico.
“The Biden campaign acquiesced, but not for long. By Sept. 6, his team had scrubbed Meena’s name off of the campaign shirt, according to Internet Archive screenshots,” the article read.
So there is her cred. She is related to Kamala, therefore she must be something. And for that reason she as amassed a following of 678 thousand people on twitter. She uses her account to not only spout meaningless drivel, but to cause problems between India and the United States as well.
President Biden’s foreign policy goals could be complicated by the social media diplomacy of Vice President Kamala Harris’s 36-year-old niece.
Meena Harris has been outspoken about relations with India. The Indian press has covered Harris’s activism in detail, including her call for the release of a political activist, Nodeep Kaur, and her support for the Indian farmers locked in a bloody confrontation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government over agricultural reforms.
A tweet shared by Harris on Monday called Modi’s government “a dictatorship” and said he “is endangering the worlds largest democracy.”
I don’t know why anyone would listen to the owner of a clothing company, but the Indian press is using her statements like a club against their government. Too make matters worse, her statements run contrary to the policy that the Biden Administration is trying to pursue:
One former U.S. diplomat said Harris’s activism “will seriously complicate our diplomacy with Delhi.”
“It’s inappropriate,” said Brett Bruen, the Obama White House’s global engagement director.
Confusing matters, the U.S. government has signaled support for Modi’s reforms.
What happened to the good old days when family just made an easy buck off the name, and stayed out of global politics.
