Harris campaign dismisses critics of ‘segregation’ fundraising effort
The Harris campaign is dismissing critics of their fundraising efforts that have targeted individual races and genders, arguing the strategy is nothing more than normal campaign work.
The Harris campaign has held multiple fundraisers in the week since she was elevated to the top of the ticket, holding Zoom events with titles such as "Win with Black Men," "White Dudes for Harris," and "Karens for Kamala" in hopes of attracting different demographics to the new campaign.
But the events have also earned scorn from critics on social media, with some accusing the campaign of harkening back to "segregation."
‘WHITE DUDES FOR HARRIS’ VIRTUAL MEETING ROASTED ONLINE: ‘MOST BETA GATHERING IN HISTORY’
"The Kamala Harris campaign is bringing segregation back in style again," said one user on X in response to the back-to-back-to-back events.
"It’s all about race with you guys," another critic said of the events.
The Harris campaign’s "White Dudes for Harris" is scheduled for Monday and may be the most widely panned, with some critics calling the event "racist" and "cringy," while others have called the event "condescending."
"There’s nothing more ‘progressive’ than self-loathing White guys with low self-esteem, man buns, and a gender studies degree from SUNY Binghamton thinking if they sign up for something as condescending as this that they’ll make their first Black female friend and maybe get a date. This qualifies as ‘trying too hard’ and is so desperate as to likely backfire," conservative radio host Jason Rantz told Fox News Digital.
Others have poked fun at potential participants in the events, arguing that it would target men who are soft or weak.
"This will be the most Beta gathering in history," one user argued.
