Social media is hardly reacting favorably to a perceived patronizing statement by VP Kamala Harris about Americans with developmental challenges.
In an awkward moment, “cackling Kamala,” as Judge Jeanine Pirro has nicknamed her, inexplicably started laughing, as she often does in other settings, during an interview when she said, in part, “we should allow people with disabilities to fully participate in society.”
In making this reference, Harris was apparently promoting her boss’s so-called massive and controversial spending plan ‘Build Back Better’, which is encountering difficulties making its way even through the Democrat-controlled Congress because of its enormous price tag.
The Democrat’s condescending take particularly infuriated Twitter user and Big Government foe Zelda A. Gabriel, a college student.

“B—-h, stop, please. I don’t need your damn permission, or government intervention, to be a part of society and do what I need/can do. How DARE you act as if I need your say so, or government intervention, to be a part of life,” she wrote, as part of a series of comments along these lines (*warning for language).
“We should allow…”
Bitch, stop, please. I don’t need your damn permission, or government intervention, to be a part of society and do what I need/can do. How DARE you act as if I need your say so, or government intervention, to be a part of life.

When another user asked her why she was so angry, Gabriel forthrightly responded that “I’m angry that Kamala literally said ‘we should allow people with disabilities to fully participate in society,’ as if I need permission from others, whether in the federal government or otherwise, to be apart of society. F— that.”
She subsequently added that “I’m angry that Kamala (and I’m sure plenty of others on the Left) think I need their permission to be a part of society or exist.”
Gabriel also opined, among other things, that “My disabilities don’t mean I need government’s okay or help to live ad part of society. My disabilities don’t mean I need someone else’s okay to exist or be a part of life. This is disgusting,” she added.
Gabriel also underscored that she supports the Americans with Disabilities Act, which protects the legal rights of disabled people.
This law, among other provisions, requires employers to provide covered workers with a reasonable accommodation in the context of work tasks.
Zelda Gabriel punctuated the discussion by writing “Thank you to all of you for supporting my rant at Kamala Harris and thank you even more to those sharing their stories of their disabilities or those they know with disabilities. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one with this position.”
Responses to Kamala Harris’ remark and demeanor are still rolling in, but here is a sampling of the enormous response:
This is unconscionable- how is someone in her position allowed to open her mouth?

Democrats will never be, nor are, my “saviors.” I don’t need their big government BS to survive and thrive. All that leads to, imo, is more government (strangers) power and resentment by other individuals because their taxes have increased.

Wow! I guess I should THANK Heels for “allowing” me, a hearing impaired senior, to continue working part-time???
Are there other options I am not aware of? It is odd that Heels wasn’t available when I was hired, probably laying down at her other job?— Na Da #NAVY #ProLife #BOYCOTTCHINA #MAGA #KAG (@Nate1954) October 17, 2021
How the F is getting people with disabilities back to work, even remotely funny? She is always laughing, maybe because she thinks its funny that anyone believes ice cream joe and giggles got 14 million more votes then Obama!

Hmmm people with disabilities have always participated in society. What disability is the flaming freak show talking about.

Maybe next time she can hire some child actors to portray disabled kids.

And why did she have to look down at notes/talking points? My God, she is so unqualified it’s embarrassing.
