Trevor Noah said that while “for months now, Warren has been releasing policies faster than Netflix releases documentaries about serial killers” and Harris issued a “powerful threat” to Congress regarding gun control, Buttigieg’s sidestepping questions about actual policies revealed his male privilege.Trevor Noah said that while “for months now, Warren has been releasing policies faster than Netflix releases documentaries about serial killers” and Harris issued a “powerful threat” to Congress regarding gun control, Buttigieg’s sidestepping questions about actual policies revealed his male privilege.
“You have to admit, running for president as a man is so much more fun because as a woman, you have to bring extra homework. Elizabeth Warren calculated 2 cents on every dollar over 50 million. Kamala is breaking down the statistics on maternal mortality as relates to race and class.
