*Political commentator and politician Bakari Sellers challenged former Trump staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin for calling Kamala Harris an “unpopular vice president.”

“You have an unpopular vice president in Vice President Kamala Harris who is polling beneath Joe Biden,” Griffin said during a discussion about Biden’s re-election bid on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Raw Story reports. 

“Usually the VP’s job is do no harm and give people confidence that you can step in the next day and be that president and that would be a drag on for someone with me that is a neither-sider,” she insisted.

“First of all, I have to address the first part,” Sellers replied. “I mean she’s the first vice president of the United States that doesn’t look like any of the other ones that came before her.”

“And the first woman and first person of color,” host Jake Tapper added.

“Correct,” Sellers replied. “And the media is struggling to figure out how to cover her as well as she was trying to figure out how to do the job well.”

“The vice presidency is not a job that comes with the glitz and glamor and she’s not held to the same standard of Mike Pence, so I want to clarify that,” he added.
