A new chapter in the White House shade war between the Biden and Kamala camps was played out in public Monday as the White House video feed cropped out Kamala Harris in favor of Anthony Fauci while both stood behind Joe Biden as he addressed the nation about the new COVID-19 variant.
Biden staffers had placed the white paper on the carpet where Harris and Fauci were to stand behind Biden on either side of the fireplace mantle that he would speak in front of in the Roosevelt Room.
When the speech started the White House feed focused on Biden with only Fauci seen throughout most of Biden’s address.
The only time Harris was seen again was when the camera pulled back after Biden invited Fauci to answer a question from the press while Biden stood between him and Harris. Harris was not asked by Biden to speak or take questions.
Much of politics is about optics, and the optics of the White House excluding Harris from a video feed and accompanying picture speaks volumes.
Meghan Hays, the “Director of Message Planning” at the White House, also seemed to send a subliminal message with her Twitter photo, which excluded Harris.
Several Twitter users reacted to the damning optics of the cropped photo.
One wondered “why is the VP not in the pic?”

Other Twitter users mocked what they considered a White House snubbing of Harris.
One commenter sarcastically taunted the Biden administration for its “white supremacy” because the photo was “literally cutting a woman of color out of the picture.”Given the establishment media’s nonstop, race-baiting attacks on former President Donald Trump, it’s safe to assume that this is the narrative the liberal news outlets would’ve pushed if Trump were still in office.

Keep in mind that Harris was selected as Biden’s running mate because of the optics of her being a minority female. So cutting her out of the White House feed says a lot. Harris has come under fire amid Biden’s plunging poll numbers from the multiple crises ravaging the country, including soaring inflation, a festering border crisis, skyrocketing crime in Democrat-controlled cities, and escalating racial tensions.
Having her in the White House has done nothing to quell the kind of racial friction Democrats and the mainstream media have fostered for years.
With Kamala Harris looking unelectable, the Democrats are considering the nuclear option.

In the five months since Harris was charged with managing the border disaster, illegal crossings have soared to record highs, as even The New York Times has reported.

The apparent turmoil in the West Wing appears to be snowballing.
Earlier this month, dozens of current and former White House aides revealed in a scathing CNN report that Harris is unpopular and considered by many to be incompetent.
Numerous left-wing Twitter commenters tried to dismiss the CNN report as “racist” and “sexist” even though it was co-written by a black woman, CNN reporter Jasmine Wright. At this point, it appears that the Biden White House is as chaotic and troubled as the rest of the country. And we’re not even through year one.
