Vice President Kamala Harris offered up a plan to provide tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to black men in a shameless bid to “buy their votes,” but it’s not likely to come to fruition because it’s unconstitutional, according to former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey (R).
In an op-ed for the New York Post, McCaughey took Harris to task not only for introducing such a “divisive,” biased program but also for the motivations behind it.“Kamala Harris is rushing to fix a growing hole in her support: black men. She’s trying to buy their votes with thinly veiled taxpayer-funded giveaways — ‘fully forgivable’ $20,000 loans — she says are meant just for them,” the former New York official noted.
“The money can be used to ‘purchase a van for a catering business . . . buy professional hairstyling equipment and chair space for a barber shop, buy lawn mowers and tools for a landscaper, and more,’ according to a statement from her campaign,” McCaughey continued.
She went on to note that under Harris’ plan, white men struggling to start their own businesses should have the same opportunity to apply for and receive those funds under the Constitution, but it doesn’t appear that Harris is truly interested in equality.
