Now we see why the Democrats didn’t want Kamala Harris as their candidate.
Four weeks into the campaign, he finally gave an interview (to a very friendly CNN) and, for unknown reasons, brought along his vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz.
Maybe some moral support? A friend to help you with your verbal mistakes?
Either way, it wasn’t a winning look for someone who wants to be president of the United States.
In her answers, Harris was vague, lacking concrete policies and, at times, just plain lying.
Brat summer is officially over. Grab your pumpkin spice latte and get ready for a fraudulent fall.
In attempting to answer Dana Bash’s unimaginative first question — “What would you do on your first day in the White House?” — Kamala was the proverbial engine of a car struggling to turn over, delaying a real answer with superfluous and redundant verbiage.
“Well, there are several things,” he began. “First, one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. When I look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people, I think people are ready for a new path forward.”
Now we see why the Democrats didn’t want Kamala Harris as their candidate.
A new path forward! As if I hadn’t been vice president for the past three and a half years!
Bash asked again, “So what would you do on the first day?”
Here we have Kamala’s so-called “opportunity economy,” which so far consists of a $6,000 first-year tax credit and $25,000 in down payment money for first-time homebuyers, with no details on who will qualify or how such largesse will be funded.
Meanwhile, his plan to impose federal price controls on supermarkets — a proposal that even left-wing pundits warn could result in food shortages and economic ruin — was left largely untouched.
Asked by Bash whether Americans are better off under President Donald Trump, we hear the rusty engine of that car stuttering again.
“Well,” Harris said, “let’s start with the fact that when Joe Biden and I took office, during the height of a pandemic… hundreds of people were dying every day… the economy had collapsed.”
He then claimed that Trump “mismanaged” COVID.
Whether you’re a fan or not, the one thing Trump never gets credit for is Operation Warp Speed. His administration funded the research and development that led to a vaccine in a matter of months.
But it’s all riddles and pancakes with Kamala, who said she was totally blindsided when President Biden called her that fateful Sunday to inform her of his decision to withdraw from the 2024 race.
Bash allowed Kamala to feign surprise, even though the Democratic plot to oust Biden after the debate is now well documented.
“My first thought wasn’t about me, to be honest,” Harris said.
Really? Wasn’t your first thought that you could become the first female president if only you could outwit skeptics like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi?
Harris has burst onto the campaign trail glowing — levitating with “joy,” so to speak — jumping on Biden’s still-warm body to clinch the nomination.
As for your boss’s mental acuity, did he openly defend his performance after that catastrophic debate? Did he call Biden “extraordinarily strong”?
Harris has no regrets, nothing at all.
“He has the intelligence, the commitment, the judgment and the disposition that I believe the American people deserve in their president.”
If by “disposition” you mean Biden in a literal corpse pose in Rehoboth Beach, sure.

Harris burst onto the campaign trail glowing, levitating with “joy,” so to speak, leaping over Biden’s still-warm body to clinch the nomination. (Pictured: Biden in Rehoboth Beach this month.)
Walz, sitting uselessly like a phantom limb, doubled down on the lies he had already told.
If this otherwise pointless interview proved anything, it is that Harris clearly saw in Walz a fellow traveler: a shameless prevaricator and a fraud who will say anything.
On lying about his combat service, despite veterans’ demands that he stop: “My grammar isn’t always correct.”
Walz is a former teacher!
“I will never degrade another’s service,” he said, employing a classic manipulation tactic known as DARVO: deny, attack and reverse the victim and aggressor positions.
Finally: “I think people know who I am.”
Sorry, America just met you, Tim Walz. We have no idea who you are, but what we’re finding out isn’t good.
Especially as these apparent lies Walz tells (he fought in the “war,” he and his wife used IVF, he received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce) seem increasingly chilling.
Mark my words: more lies are likely to be revealed, and on a larger scale. If Walz had an “R” after his name, like George Santos, the media would be blaming him for this affair.
As Harris and Walz sat in that dreary, unpresidential setting — an empty restaurant in Savannah, surrounded by cheap black furniture — the emptiness of this enterprise infuriated them. Bash simply let Harris drift and drift, giving no details.
On Israel: “We have to get a deal,” Harris said, because that “will unlock a lot of what happens next.”
Yes. That’s how things normally work: one action leads to another. Thank goodness we have Kamala to explain it to us.
As for illegal immigration, he said the numbers “have actually gone down.” Tell that to the big American cities struggling to absorb the constant influx.
On his change of stance on fracking: “My values have not changed”

Harris is unable to articulate his thought processes because they don’t exist. He can’t speak off the cuff. He has no intellectual reserve, no internal editor, no coherent line of reasoning.
Consider this response on climate change: “I have always believed – and worked on it – that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we must apply metrics that include meeting deadlines over time.”
Deadlines around the clock!
Perhaps he can explain how time works in relation to his “new way forward to turn the page on the last decade,” when that decade, as Bash helpfully pointed out, includes his last three and a half years in office.
“I’m talking about an era that began about a decade ago,” Harris said.
This is the circular logic and circumlocution of the intellectually inferior, of someone who is stupid trying to appear intelligent.
Asked why she should be president, she said: “I think I’m the best person to do this job.”
In an interview in which Harris was unclear or downright evasive on almost everything, one fact came into sharp focus: she is quantitatively… No The best person for this job.
