Former President Barack Obama on Thursday admonished Black men who he believes have not adequately supported Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, telling them it’s “not acceptable” to sit out this election and suggesting they might be reluctant to vote for Harris because she’s a woman.

He then ends up suggesting the reason they don’t like Harris is because she’s a woman -

“Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

    I’m aware that you quoted yourself. How does that matter? I was noting that you weren’t the one being asked the question. Your response is irrelevant.

      Not really quoting myself, more quoting what I think is the most reasonable response to the question for anyone.

      OP was asking others in the thread the same question, and I think it’s a bad-faith way to deflect the conversation and turn it personal.
