House Democrat Slams Party's Lack Of Reflection In Days Since Loss To Trump

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, of Washington state, also said Vice President Kamala Harris dismissed her with "kind of an eye roll" during their first meeting.
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) is offering some real talk about the reasons behind her party’s defeat in the U.S. presidential election, and didn’t mince words when asked by The New York Times about her thoughts on Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign.
The Democratic congresswoman ― who was reelected Tuesday by her rural and predominantly Republican constituency ― said she has only ever interacted with Harris once, at a past Christmas party held at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.
“I noticed that almost all of the garlands were plastic,” she told the Times. “My district grows a hell of a lot of Christmas trees. I was strong-armed into taking a picture. I said, ‘Madam Vice President, we grow those where I live.’ She just walked away from me.”
“There was kind of an eye roll, maybe,” Gluesenkamp Perez continued. “My thinking was, it does matter to people where I live. It’s the respect, the cultural regard for farmers. I didn’t feel like she understood what I was trying to say.”
Gluesenkamp Perez argued that what she described as Harris’ dismissive response ultimately points toward the main reason her party lost the election to Donald Trump.
