Whitey from cracker-jack tries and fails to talk shit to Oakland....

Calif. lawmaker trashes Kamala Harris' 'hometown' of SF. She's from Oakland.

By Alec Regimbal

California Rep. Kevin Kiley, a Republican from Rocklin, took a shot at Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday shortly after President Joe Biden endorsed her newly minted bid to become the Democratic nominee for president.

“If you want to know what America would be like under a President Kamala Harris, go visit her hometown of San Francisco,” Kiley said on X, about an hour after Biden announced he was ditching his reelection campaign.

As of Monday afternoon, the post had generated 13,000 likes and some 3,000 reposts, with comments that trashed both San Francisco and Harris. But some X users are aware of information that Kiley and others apparently aren’t: Harris was born in Oakland and raised in Berkeley.

It might not mean much to a lawmaker who represents the state’s mostly rural 3rd Congressional District — which covers Lake Tahoe and much of the Sierra Nevada along the California-Nevada border — but Oakland and San Francisco are very different places. While separated by just a few miles of open water, the gulfs between the cities’ weather, affordability, culture, food, landmarks and professional sports teams are vast.

Harris did serve as San Francisco’s district attorney from 2004 to 2010, which may have confused Kiley, but it’s nothing a quick Google search couldn’t have remedied. The post remained up and was even pinned to the lawmaker’s profile Monday afternoon, despite users pointing out the error.

“First visit Oakland CA to see what Harris’s hometown looks like,” one user replied.

“SF is a beautiful city, but she’s not from there. Yikes,” another said.

Harris is now the de facto front-runner to earn the Democratic nomination for president at the party’s convention in Chicago next month.

She has already scooped up endorsements from several other high-profile Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Even California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, who were both floated as potential challengers for the party’s nomination, are backing the vice president.

The GOP, for its part, has already done an about-face and has begun launching attacks on Harris. And, despite his error, Kiley is previewing the exact type of Bay Area bashing that will assuredly become commonplace if Harris does indeed secure the nomination.
