The mainstream media and tech oligarchs only have 100 days before the election to clean up the mess that is Kamala Harris’ dismal record. Keep in mind, they hid Joe Biden’s mental decline for four years; 100 days misrepresenting Kamala should be easy.
She has been portrayed as the “fresh new face” of the Democratic Party. She is not. She has been a disaster on the Southern border and as a prosecutor in California. She defends DEI and defunding the police.
Yet, aided by big media, Kamala has gotten a honeymoon bump. In some polls, she is tied with Trump in her race to replace him.
Facebook blocked the iconic picture of Trump pumping his fist after being shot (they later admitted it was an error). CNN, MS-DNC, et al., have been erasing Kamala’s past. Google hid search results for “Trump assassination attempt.” (Google acknowledged “bugs” in its search function.)
The playbook is clear for the next three months. Kamala is to be distanced from anything she ever did, said or proposed. And anyone who attempts to connect Kamala Harris to Kamala Harris is a misogynistic racist.
On the misogyny front, I am reminded of the time when Barack Obama introduced Kamala as the best-looking attorney general in the country. He said he was joking; you know, back when people could joke. I found no fault in his comment.
Using race and DEI to ascend to the top of the Democratic Party, Kamala has rarely been held to account for anything. Trump rose in popularity in politics by taking a shot to the face in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Based on her voting record in the Senate in 2019, she was determined to be the most liberal senator, beating out Bernie Sanders. That report card, along with news items reporting that she was appointed “the Border Czar” by Biden, have been taken down. The media’s respect for you, the reader, is at an all-time arrogance high. They’re panicked.
We all remember the presidential primary of 2020 in which Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand ran. That year the Dems had more women running than when a Walmart store in Alabama opens on a Black Friday sale.
In that 2020 primary, Kamala finally dropped out, never polling above the level of skim milk. When she did, it left Sen. Elizabeth Warren as the only woman of color still running.
Elizabeth Warren pretended to be a “Native American.” Harris is half Jamaican and descended from a slave owner (dad’s side) and half Indo/Asian (mom), but identifies as Black.
If being a minority in America is so bad, why do Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, et al., try so hard to identify as such?
I do know former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard dominated Kamala in their debate. She pointed out the hypocrisy of Kamala’s record jailing of minorities over pot when she was a prosecutor in California.
The 59-year-old Kamala said later on a radio show that she smoked weed in college and listened to Snoop Dogg and Tupac while high. It turns out that neither artist had recorded anything until years after she graduated from Howard University in 1986. But the media will spin it, probably saying that the weed she smoked was so killer, and the woman so brilliant, that she could hear and foresee the rap songs of the future.
(Just as an aside, I am so old that I remember when political candidates always lied and said they didn’t smoke pot in college).
Clearly, we have suffered enough under a DEI hiring spree of the last few years. Meritocracy should prevail. If a DEI hire is a good thing, then why do people get mad at me when I point out the reverse? But the good news is the Secret Service director is gone, and perhaps Kamala will be gone in November. We will look back on all this as the end of an error.
