Harris has been held to a comically low standard

There’s a preposterous idea circulating in the chattering class of late: that Vice President Kamala Harris is being held to an unfairly high standard because of her race and gender.
Of course, we all know why this is suddenly on every pair of liberal lips. With news that Harris is losing the race for the White House — the polls, election forecasts, and early voting tallies all suggest a bad night for the vice president — Democrats and their media allies are eager to shift the blame.
It can’t be their fault she’s losing, after all. That would require soul-searching on their part and perhaps even a change in behavior.
And so Harris’s recent struggles must be pinned on a bias so deeply internalized that it pervades even Democrat-friendly airwaves.
In this version of reality, the problem isn’t the quality of the candidate but the persistence of Anderson Cooper’s gentle nudging at a CNN town hall. I mean, can anyone imagine former President Donald Trump receiving such an intensive interrogation?
