Connecticut GOP Chairman under fire after comments on Kamala Harris
HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) – There was a lot of energy at the Republican National Convention Thursday night as Former President Donald Trump accepted his nomination by his party for president.
Connecticut GOP Chairman Ben Proto was a delegate and is now under fire by Democratic leaders for his comments on current Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Connecticut public radio’s “The Wheelhouse,” Proto said she got her job because of gender and racial politics, not because she’s qualified to be vice president.
Democrats say Proto is attacking Harris solely because she is a black woman. Proto, however, says it was Biden himself who made it clear who he was looking for.
“Find his comments egregious, I do find them racial I do find them misogynistic but people have to judge that’s why we made this statement,” said Majority Leader Bob Duff.
“It’s not me or the republicans who have brough this into play, it was kamala harris and then vice president joe biden who did that. And the qualifications. He put on his vice president would be that they be a black woman and the qualifications should be whether are they competent to do the job,” said Proto.
There is increasing pressure for Biden to step aside, with Harris a candidate to become the Democratic nominee.
