As many Democrats demand police de-funding, an ex-cop has emerged on Joe Biden’s shortlist of veep contenders — troubling some activists.

Val Demings, 63, a two-term Florida congresswoman, has seen her star rise dramatically in recent weeks as riots flared around the country following George Floyd’s death and the Biden campaign gave new weight to African American aspirants for the running-mate job.

“She’s fresh and new, seems better on TV than Kamala [Harris]. I think right now she’s got an outside but decent shot at VP,” one Biden campaign insider told The Post. Demings has publicly stated her interest in the job.

She is reportedly one of six female Democrats to have passed an initial round of scrutiny by Biden’s vice presidential search committee — and has been asked to turn over reams of documents, including financial disclosures and past writings.

Joe Biden is considering Val Demings as his Vice President. She was Orlando Police Department chief. That will not fly well with the Jacobins.

Sounds like the theme to "The Love Boat".

Also, isn't that odd description comparable to Creepy Joe calling President Obama clean and articulate?

January 31, 2007

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

— Joe Biden, describing fellow candidate Barack Obama. The remark was made the same day Biden filed the official paperwork to launch his presidential campaign. Biden later apologized and said the remark was taken out of context.

Hey, I have a fresh and new idea for everyone!  How about let’s all pick the best candidate for whatEVER we’re hiring for?!  Take ‘color’ out of the equation and let the chips fall where they may. If that means a POC doesn’t get it, BEFORE calling racism, how about looking at the actual facts. If you can’t compete straight up in the market then maybe you’re looking at the wrong metrics and aren’t fixing the root cause. Damn, that feels revolutionary.

I've said it all year, Joe will have to choose a Gay, Black, Woman.

Too bad Hillary isn't black...

 :whatever:

Kameltoe Harris prosecuted lots of black people for marijuana crimes, yet laughed about it when asked if she smoked pot when she was younger.

Go to your room without supper, little mister. That doesn't fit the narrative, and you know it.

While in your room, write 500 times, "I will not make sense when discussing politics, religion, or anything involving Creepy Joe."
