CYF: Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris claimed that “India is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, democracy in the world.”
Verdict: False
Experts believe that North India was once home to a number of local and regional tribes that practiced a republican form of government, but on a national scale, India did not hold a democratic election until 1951. The country was under British crown rule from 1858 until it achieved independence in 1947.
Fact Check:
Harris was discussing her new book, “The Truths We Hold: An American Journey,” when her interviewer, Washington Post journalist Jonathan Capehart, asked her, “How has being half Indian-American shaped your identity and political views?”
Harris’ mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan, emigrated from India in the 1960s.
“I was born who I am, and I would say that the influence – the Indian influence on my life is really, a lot of it is based on what I described in terms of the experiences that I had in India,” Harris explained. “The family that I come from was very active. And I know that about – you know, India is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, democracy in the world, and so the idea of debating and discussing what it means to be a democracy.”
India is neither one of the oldest nor the oldest democracy in the world.
Not Today, Dear
Well, liberals do like to change historical facts.
“…“I was born who I am…”
she is an anchor baby
Kalamity Harris is going to be in a close race with Spartacus Booker to the bottom of the Colored Racists Peoples Redistribution Party. Facts! They don’t need no stinkin’ facts!
Somebody should have told Gandhi. Would have saved him a lot of trouble!
I thought she was born in Hawaii to a white Mom and an old black pedofile/pornographer?….
Yes, a democracy where 750 million people shit outdoors openly. Now THERE’s a model! Can you say “sanitation nightmare”?
Does anyone know any Ancient Greeks? Do NOT tell them that they were NOT the first to try democracy.
“How has being half Indian-American …”
Huh?
Why would a half (either half), or a quarter, or a 1024th (for that matter) make a shit’s worth of difference about anything? Being born who she am (be? at?), she was fully formed at birth, and the different varieties of DNA shouldn’t make any difference, except in the “identity politics” sweepstakes.
Most of us are mongrels of one admixture or another, so why is that particular brand of mongrel more advantageous?
Like those dogs bred to be mostly useless – just good for show?
Fuck – another Liz Warren … a pedigreed mongrel …
izlamo delenda est …
She may be part Indian but I haven’t seen a nigger this dumb since Steve Martin in The Jerk. Or is she just appropriating stupidity to appeal to LoFo voters of all races??
Kamelshitbrains Harris sure ain’t no Nikki Haley!
Did India also originate swapping poon for political appointments like Cumdumpster Harris’ little arrangement with Willie Brown?
She better be careful; her words might make India tip over!
Oh, just for clarity’s sake – and Indian what immigrates to America isn’t American by any stretch of the imagination – it’s an Immigrant Indian – NOT an Indian-American.
If (say) its mother were Indian and its father American, it could be construed as “Indian-American.” But to be “half Indian-American,” would make it approximately a quarter Indian, a quarter American, and half whatever else it may be.
The way the Demonrats are going with these identity politics, we’re gonna need a “SS Race and Settlement Main Office, (Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamt der SS, RuSHA)” to sort out all of the mongrel distinctions.

Biden was the forerunner of the future of the DNC! How stupid must a candidate be to attract the support of leftists voters?
The Democrats clearly are finding the most stupid, shameless candidates with no scruples to become the new faces of the Party. They are throwing these asses up to see if any stick.
She obviously wants a medal. Pin one to her forehead using a box nail.
She should have stayed at the UN…oh wait….
Try the various city-states in Greece. But then the Greeks quickly learned that democracy is essentially mob rule. The Romans learned from this and created a representative republic, until Julius Caesar famously crossed the Rubicon. The world did not see a true representative democracy (one without a monarch) until the American Revolution followed a few years later by the ratification of US constitution.
Harris is a moron.
Idiots keep surfacing in the ‘Rat party. Most of them are new to Congress. What in the world has happened?
She is half Dot-Indian.
There FIFY
Was this prior or after British colonial rule?
What a dope what a maroon, Bugs knew BEST:
