chauvinistic behavior of men interrupting women while they are talking. Then she pro- ceeded to beat him in that de- bate by using her intellect, experience, confidence, and her understanding of how this “double life” game is played.
“Unfortunately, people of color and women continue to deal with this double standard. Senator Harris showed us how it’s done - the next Vice President of the United States.”
CAROLYN HEPBURN COLLINS
“The Vice Presidential De- bate, while it appeared to be more cordial or civil, it lacked respect.
“Both the Moderator Susan Page and Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate
Kamala Harris were disre- spected by Vice President Pence. Moderator Page was unable to control Vice President Pence. Even ac- cess to a switch to control the microphones could not allow for questions to be answered, respect to be given, and mas- culine to be controlled.
“Senator Harris gave answers to the questions, some of which afforded her the opportunity to introduce herself to the million of view- ers. She initiated with the pro-
found opening statement on the Trump-Pence Adminis- tration failure, which was poignant since Vice Presi- dent Pence was appoitnted the responsibility for the failed COVID-19; an administration still without a national plan. Senator and Vice Presi- dent Harris was able to an- swer questions even when she was interrupted without falling prey to the newest label placed on Black female when their intelligent allow them to dispute issues intelligently, yet she could not be called "the mad Black woman."
“Kamala Harris showed strength when she stood her ground and was not bullied to give an answer when V.P. Pence insisted that she reply. Senator Harris, Vice Presi- dent Candidate won the de- bate.
“If you want to know how I am able to declare such, grade the performance by measuring the following: time spent com- plying with the pre-etablished rules, questions answered when asked, the time when the speaker stopped when told, re- spect shown to the Moderator, the respect to ask for addi- tional time, cordial to the op- posing participant, the true
meters - results for answers with untruth (lies), and finally compliance to the Commission rules overall.
“In the closing, Senator and VP Candidate Harris’ spouse followed the rules and came to the stage in the hall with his mask on while V. P. Pence’s spouse had taken her mask off, on the stage and in the hall.”
