926th Engineer Battalion American Flag shirt
In that line, after Stephen Colbert asked her about her insinuation that 926th Engineer Battalion American Flag shirt was either a racist or supported racism, Kamala Harris showed us the truth of much of American politics, especially contemporary American politics as it relates to identity politics. If you go back and watch that moment, Harris is dead serious. You can hear a kind of break in her voice as though she’s recounting a painful memory, she looks at Biden, he looks at her, she tells a likely false story about being the first integrated class in her area, and she basically says he’s racist without actually saying it. And then, months later, after becoming his VP pick, she’s asked about the moment and she laughs and says “it was a debate!”.
