Wyoming Democratic Party Demands Harriet Hageman Apologize for Racist Remarks Against Vice President Kamala Harris

Cheyenne – The Wyoming Democratic Party has issued the following statement in response to Harriet Hageman’s recent racist remarks regarding Vice President Kamala Harris.

It took only three days for Harriet Hageman to disgrace herself on national television by launching a reprehensible and racist attack on Vice President Kamala Harris. Her baseless and offensive remarks, suggesting that Vice President Harris is stupid, unqualified, and a “DEI hire,” are not only false but also represent the thread of racism that has become common among right-wing extremists.

Vice President Kamala Harris has a distinguished record and career marked by significant achievements in public service, law enforcement, and advocacy for justice, including holding the highest public office of any woman in our nation’s history. Frankly, her accomplishments far surpass those of Harriet Hageman.

Congresswoman Hageman’s actions do not reflect the values of Wyoming or its residents. By spewing such harmful rhetoric, she has embarrassed her constituents and tarnished the reputation of our state on a national level. This behavior is inexcusable and stands in stark contrast to the principles of respect and equality that Wyomingites hold dear.

We call on Harriet Hageman to issue a full and sincere apology for her appalling behavior. Her comments are a stain on our political landscape, and she must take responsibility.
