As the AP quotes it: “We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won’t. And then you need to kick that f——— door down.”

Is it me or does this headline make it sound like she used some sort of racial slur?

I wondered the same thing until I read the story.

Holy shit - what libs hold on to. I'd have to google this to even remember the context...

This is even more outrageous than that time she bought French cookware

Le Creuset, c'est fucking incroyable, hein?

Edit

My damn curiosity got the better of me.

Is French copper cookware worth the big bucks? Chefs defend Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent Parisian purchases

Harris purchased items at E. Dehillerin, a legendary Paris culinary emporium, but the brand Le Creuset is drawing some knock-on attention

Nov. 24, 2021

A report posted Tuesday on the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website, indicated Harris’s purchases had totaled 516 euros, or about $580, and included a copper dish and a copper frying pan.

“I just want to buy a pot,” she told reporters during the Nov. 13 visit, a portion of which was shown on C-SPAN. In a response to a question, Harris added that she was shopping with Thanksgiving cooking in mind.

The visit led to suggestions that Harris was out of touch with the struggles of everyday Americans, as the Free Beacon connected its dots: “The vice-presidential shopping spree came as Americans stateside suffer from the worst inflation in three decades, putting strain on both consumers and small businesses.”

it's a pot, how much can it cost? $10?

~~She went ahead and bought the Stanley cup of Dutch ovens. The one that's more of a status marker than a cooking pot.~~

Edit: L for me, I am wrong and uninformed

Not even. She bought a regular Le Creuset 14 oz cocotte which is just a nice normal sub-$50 Dutch oven, not even one of the $300 ones. Currently on sale for $36 on the manufacturer website with free shipping. Not exactly extravagantly overpriced.

If you want to criticise something, go after the kind of overpriced $160 pan

Or better yet, the extremely overpriced matching serving bowl that costed $367

She basically just went on an average Wiilliams-Sonoma shopping trip, which is for upper middle-class suckers sure but like ultimately who gives a shit if someone pays double for some cookware?

Thanks for the info; Big L for me.

As for double price for cookware; I'm ngl if I'm experiencing unprecedented CoL, have no job or housing security, and have no prospects for the future (all of which are entirely out my control) I would be kinda mad if my VP decided to buy some bougie shit. After all, my money is paying for that lifestyle and not my or other's survival.
