Vice President Kamala Harris, in an apparent act of desperation, has called up former First Lady Michelle Obama to save her flailing 2024 campaign. 

Obama, though, as Breitbart News reports, has already landed herself in some hot water. Campaigning, it turns out, just might not be her thing.

Unfortunately for Harris, her running mate - Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) - has not done a whole lot to help her campaign. In fact, given all of the scandals that he has found himself at the center of, he has probably done more to harm it.

This probably explains why, with the 2024 election just days away, Harris has more or less put Walz on the bench while subbing in Obama.

Let the race-baiting begin

Obama has already begun making campaign appearances for Harris. This is despite Obama's frequent claims that she is not really into politics.

On Saturday, Obama appeared for Harris in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This is where she landed herself in some trouble. She did so by claiming that people who do not vote for Harris in the upcoming election are racist and sexist.

Obama said:

Kamala Harris is an extraordinary human being, she is an extraordinary candidate, and she will be an extraordinary president of the United States of America. Mark my words. So, Michigan, with all that being said, I gotta ask myself, well why on earth is this race even close? I lay awake at night wondering, what in the world is going on? And, it’s clear to me, the question for me isn’t whether Kamala is ready for this moment….because by every measure she has demonstrated that she’s ready. The real question is, as a country, are we ready for this moment?

Of course, the implication is that America is not ready for Harris because she is not a White male, as previous presidents have been, and as her opponent is.

What else would you expect?

If you are familiar with the Obamas, then this sort of thing is nothing new. They sowed racial division during their time in the White House and they have only continued to do so since leaving the White House.

Michelle's husband, Barack Obama, is also campaigning for Harris, and he was recently caught in a similar situation to that of his wife.

In this case, Barack was actually caught going after Black men for not supporting Harris.

Obama said:

Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. So if you don't mind -- just for a second, I've got to speak to y’all and say that when you have a choice, that is this clean: When on the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, went to college with you, understands the struggles [and the] pain and joy that comes from those experiences…You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I’ve got a problem with that.

Obama was heavily criticized, including by many Democrats, for the remarks.
