Federal Labor MP Andrew Giles has branded a cartoon in the Australian newspaper of Joe Biden’s running mate in the US presidential election Kamala Harris offensive and racist. The opposition spokesman on multicultural affairs was just one of the people critical of the Johannes Leak cartoon, which portrayed Biden referring to the Democrat senator as a “little brown girl”. Andrew Giles MP (@andrewjgiles) This morning in the Australian newspaper there’s a cartoon depicting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. When this was put to him, Dore said: “The words ‘little black and brown girls’ belong to US presidential candidate Joe Biden, not Johannes Leak. “When Johannes used those words, expressed in a tweet by Biden yesterday, he was highlighting Biden’s language and apparent attitudes, not his own.
