(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) In a speech at South Carolina State University, Vice President Kamala Harris in all earnestness compared herself to John Adams, founding father and second president of the United States.
Harris became the congressional tie-breaker in the Senate after a Democrat sweep in U.S. Senate runoff elections in Georgia in 2021, rendering a 50-50 tie between Republicans and Democrats, reported the Daily Wire.
“So as vice president, I’m also the president of the United States Senate. And in that role — this is for the historians here — I broke John Adams’ record of casting the most tie-breaking votes in a single term,” she bragged.
“So for context, this kid who was born in Oakland, California, and graduated from a HBCU just broke the record of John Adams. I think we should all fully appreciate how history can take a turn.”
Adams is known as the “Atlas of American Independence.” He spearheaded the move towards independence in the Second Continental Congress in 1776, was an anti-slavery advocate and pushed for George Washington to be the leader of the Continental army, and is regarded as a major force in American history.
He has been featured in films and books, and was the father of sixth president John Quincy Adams.
Harris seems to fancy herself a similar political force, making sure to remind the students of the Biden administration’s student loan cancellation.
“It’s important for you to know that this loan forgiveness does not just apply to graduates,” Harris said. “It also may apply to many of you sitting here right now.”
“So if you receive—please take note of this—if you received a federal loan before July 1 of this year, you are eligible,” she beamed.
If only John Adams was alive to hear Kamala Harris urging students to take advantage of taxpayers.

The Veep also hinted at more freebies to come.
“We have seen great accomplishments but we still have a lot more work to do,” Harris said. “We still need to make, for example, community college free for all people.”
“We know that access to quality education should not be determined by whether or not you can afford it.”
