Harris’s Inconsistent Campaign
The chief obstacle of Kamala’s “vaporware” campaign lies in the glaring disconnect between her upbeat rhetoric and the inescapable reality of the Biden-Harris administration’s record
So on Thursday, Kamala Harris was finally allowed out to meet the press.
Well, she was allowed to sit for about 18 minutes for a carefully scripted interview on a Dem-friendly network—CNN—with a partisan media head—Dana Bash—who came with a satchel of softballs. Apparently, Harris has yet to be certified for solo flight, however, since she was chaperoned by her pick for VP, Minnesota governor and serial fantasist Tim Walz.
How did it go? The journalist Jon Concha put it delicately but not inaccurately when he described it as a “dishonest train wreck.”
As an aside, I might note that if our media censors had their way, phrases like “dishonest train wreck” would probably be sanctioned as “hurtful,” maybe even “hateful,” “disinformation” or “malinformation,” the latter meaning statements that may be true but are nonetheless unacceptable because they are embarrassing to the powers that be.
“The powers that be”: who are they? In a way, that is the basic, fundamental question with which the cackling campaign of Kamala Harris confronts us. Many commentators, including me, have noted the profoundly undemocratic maneuver with which The Committee erased Joe Biden and installed Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. After all, nearly 15 million people voted for Gibbering Joe in the Democratic primary. He won, hands down because that same committee made certain that other candidates—including RFK Jr.— were shunted to one side. They had done the same thing to Bernie Sanders years before. “Democracy” for them is the name not of a political system but of a pleasing emotional shudder.
