With Kamala Harris dropping out of the presidential race due to her failed candidacy, it is easy to forget how much of the media was, until recently, hyping her as The One to take down Trump. This video presents a compilation of funny clips of the media gushing like children over Harris.

Failed/failing candidate Julian Castro sees things differently, https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nidhiprakash/julian-castro-kamala-harris-media-bias :

Former housing secretary Julián Castro said Sen. Kamala Harris’s bid for president was hampered by the media treating candidates of color differently, speaking after Harris ended her presidential campaign on Tuesday.

“To me, they held her to a different standard, a double standard, to other campaigns. And I don’t know if it impacted her decision to withdraw from the race or not, but I’m sure it didn’t help,” Castro, the only Latino candidate running for president, told BuzzFeed News on Tuesday night.

“This was a narrative from very early on. … From the earliest critique that she has no black support, the [Congressional Black Caucus] is going other directions. It’s just holding people to different standards,” he said.

His nonsense claim has a two-word problem: Barack Obama.

Shouldn't that be the only remaining Latino candidate running?  Surely the left recognized Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke as Hispanic, since he identified as one.
