When Kamala Read Intel Reports, She Complained They Were Politically Incorrect
“Ms. Harris also wanted more intelligence reporting on how gender inequalities in various nations weaken their national security,”
By Daniel Greenfield
The Biden-Harris administration famously demanded that ‘equity’ be built into every federal agency and that DEI be the first mission of everything from NASA to FEMA. (That’s why FEMA failed badly when handling the aftermath of the recent hurricanes and NASA can’t manage to get back to the moon.)
But VP Kamala Harris apparently took it a step further, insisting that every policy be about DEI.
What was Kamala’s response to reading intelligence reports? Complaining that they were sexist.
Paging through intelligence reports just weeks after she was sworn in as vice president, Kamala Harris was struck by the way two female foreign leaders were described. The reports used adjectives that, in her view, were rarely used to describe male leaders.
Ms. Harris, the first woman to hold her office, ordered up a review that scrutinized multiple years of briefing reports from various intelligence agencies, looking for possible gender bias.
This would be a parody except that it’s the lede for the New York Times story.
When looking at intel reports, Kamala’s priority wasn’t national security, but politically incorrect language.
The study found some questionable word choices but no widespread pattern, according to a senior intelligence official, one of five who requested anonymity to discuss the review. (None would disclose the words flagged by Ms. Harris because the reports were classified.)
Still, the exercise had an impact: Intelligence officials added a new training class for analysts on how to judge and assess female foreign leaders, according to another official.
The episode proved to be a preview of Ms. Harris’s priorities.
Her ‘priorities’ indeed.
“She was always interested in race and gender,” said one former aide who requested anonymity because of lack of authorization to speak publicly. “We all knew it was really important to her, so we would proactively add that to her briefings. She didn’t have to ask for it.”
If there’s a nuclear war, President Kamala Harris will demand that “manpower” be changed to “personpower” and “warheads” to “peaceheads” even as the country is burning.
