A guy tried to own Kamala Harris by claiming he could easily pass the bar exam, and the takedowns were so savage they should be illegal
A frequent claim of Trump and his supporters is that Kamala Harris shouldn’t be President because she isn’t smart enough, and that she has only got as far as she has because of diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring.
The ‘do your own research’ brigade have clearly not taken their own advice, because she has an impressive record of achievement in her legal career, acting as District Attorney of San Francisco for nine years, ushering in many new practices to make the city a safer and fairer place.
Marcus Swann pointed out the bias against her in certain parts of the media.
Every right-wing thread about Harris being "stupid" contains someone expressing confusion about how she passed the bar exam in Cali and it never occurs to them that this objective evidence of her well-above-average intelligence might indicate they should change their media diet

A Trump-supporting engineer from Brooklyn entered the chat.
He backed up his claim by sharing that he was considering becoming a notary.
Oh, well. If his wife suggested it and some of the questions are guessable, that obviously means he can do it. It’s practically in the bag, and then it’s just a side-step to the bar exam. He’ll be DA before you know it, and that’ll show the left
The takedowns were as impressive as they were brutal, and these definitely hit the target.

you're just like every guy who played high school football and is *convinced* you could make a tackle or catch in the NFL (wrong, that is)

Oh my god, the number of crypto and AI bros that think they can just casually pass a bar exam is hilarious.
Most of these guys couldn't pass a middle school math quiz without AI assistance. https://t.co/OtgJ1qoTJ5

Experts experience the most imposter syndrome because they understand how much they don’t know.
People who lack expertise always overestimate their ability, because they simply do not have the capability of knowing how much they don’t know. https://t.co/2Kz81s3NUj

this is funny for a couple reasons
1. the bar exam is notably one of the hardest professional certification exams (And Cali is known to be extra hard)
2. there are no states that allow just anyone to register for the bar. You need a law degree or a legal apprenticeship https://t.co/i3gseiDCzf— Violet Rose ️⚧️ (@Ashebutler_) October 16, 2024

You see, the bar specifically exists to not let dipshits who say stuff like this from practicing law. https://t.co/WYs5A9eeFn
