Lara Trump was 'insulted' by Joe Biden's pledge to name a woman as his VP: 'Let’s not worry about qualifications'
Appearing on Justice with Judge Jeanine, Trump argued that Biden’s pledge in March to run with a female vice presidential candidate was about “identity politics,” not equality.
“I have found it very interesting that the mainstream media and the people on the left think that the women in this country, Judge Jeanine, are stupid,” said Trump, wife of the president’s second-born son, Eric. “Apparently, they forgot that the identity politics they tried to play in 2016, when they suggested that women should vote for someone named Hillary Clinton because she was a woman, didn’t work then, it’s not going to work now.
“I for one was insulted when months ago Joe Biden came out and he said, ‘Guess what? It’s going to be a woman who’s my running mate.’ Let’s not worry about qualifications, let’s not worry about what they bring to the table,” continued the mother of two, who has helped spearhead the campaign’s Women for Trump tour. “If these people want to stand up for equality, people in this country will never be fully equal in their eyes until they stop pandering for votes and playing identity politics.
“It didn’t even matter who it was going to be,” she concluded. “Women were already insulted.”
“It’s still Joe Biden ... at the top of the ticket,” she told Pirro.

Trump’s comments have caused controversy online, with critics accusing her of sexism.
At least one 2020 figure is welcoming Harris into the race. Kanye West, who has launched his own presidential bid, tweeted “love and respect” to the Democrat on Saturday, adding that “it’s an honor to run against you.”

Kanye is cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
How many invalid signatures were on his requests to be on the ballot?
He also missed the deadline in one state.
'Let’s Not Worry About Qualifications'
She is QUALIFIED.
I'm insulted by these tRump bimbos
As she should have been,
Why should she have been insulted?
The article you seeded explains why rather well.
Did you not read your own seed?
Of course identity politics was a key factor. If someone states that they will most likely pick a woman of color then they are stating that these factors are important. That does not mean the individual will not include other factors (e.g. competence) as well.
Other VPs have been chosen for demographic factors as well. Some VPs are chosen to counteract concerns about the top of the ticket's age (Bush 41), geographical influence (Kennedy), federal experience (Bush 43, Obama), etc. (Then we have Palin.)
Competence and suitability to assume the office of PotUS (if required) should be absolutely critical factors in the choice for VP. While I would lead with those factors myself, it looks to me that Kamala Harris meets that criteria; indeed, she seems to be the best qualified of the four (Biden, Trump, Pence). So while Biden narrowed his field right off the bat, he most definitely considered the other critical factors.
“Kamala Harris is such an angry woman.”
