Isabel Schnabel, an executive board member of the European Central Bank, was caught on a hot mic earlier this year criticizing the vice president as “invisible”, and predicting that she would never win. The Democratic Party selection process “is a failure,” Schnabel said in comments reported here for the first time.

“They should have built up another candidate to Kamala Harris from the beginning,” Schnabel said in a private conversation ahead of a panel event in February, apparently unaware her remarks were being live-streamed. “She would never win an election, I mean that's hopeless." Schnabel's next comment was particularly cutting: "I don't even know her because she has been so invisible.”

The ECB later tried to spin this, but hot mics don't lie.

In Britain, too, officials are trying to figure her out, hoping that the choice of her running mate will help shed light on what she would do if elected. “A lot of work will be going on to map out what a Kamala presidency will look like and what she thinks and feels about issues, and how we deal with her and the people around her,” said one U.K. official. “I mean, I think we really need to see her VP, and then we can assess the whole ticket and kind of get our claws into every bit of the ticket.”

Heh. The democrats seem to have loads of claws in them from all over the world.
