Vice President Kamala Harris was apparently very selective when it came to the female trailblazers she honored in a video commemorating Women's History Month.
The vice president highlighted Charlotta Spears Black as the first Black woman to run for vice president andas"the first woman to receive a major party nomination," completely overlooking Walter Mondale's running mate Geraldine Ferraro on the 1984 Democratic ticket and John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin on the 2008 Republican ticket.
Additionally, the video celebrated Lelia Davis for becoming"the first African American woman elected mayor" in 1973 in the town of Taft, Oklahoma but ignored America's very first female mayor back in 1887, which was Argonia, Kansas' Susanna Madora Salter, who ran as a member of the Prohibition Party.
Harris offered herself an extended tribute, noting to viewers she's"the first" woman, Black woman, Indian woman and daughter of immigrants to become vice president. The video also included Delaware's Sarah McBride,"the first" transgender state senator elected in 2020. The Vice President's office did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
