Is Kamala Going to Get Away With This?

In the aftermath of booting Joe Biden and while the current president was still pulling knives out of his back, Harris illegally took over his campaign war chest and quickly got to work scrubbing her record – the record that earned her a total of zero votes in the 2020 Democratic primary.  

Immediately, staffers picked up the phone to speak with her allies in the media, issuing statements about 180-degree changes on Harris’ most liberal and unhinged positions. Despite putting on “the vibes” of a strong, independent prosecutor capable of speaking for herself, she has explained nothing directly and has happily outsourced this responsibility. She claims to be prosecuting the case against former President Donald Trump but refuses to make the case for herself. 

Nearly three weeks into the Harris presidential campaign and after choosing a radical vice presidential running mate in Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris finally made her way to the cameras this week for a three-minute back and forth with reporters. The questions, as predicted, were softballs about her feelings and lacked much-needed indignation from the press that she be more transparent. In typical fashion, Harris didn’t answer any surface-level inquiry with detail or clarity before quickly scurrying back onto Air Force Two. Laughably, she noted she plans to participate in a sit-down interview, no doubt with a friendly “journalist,” sometime in the next three weeks. 

It was a pitiful, pathetic showing just a few hours after former President Donald Trump stood for more than an hour at his Mar-a-Lago estate at a press conference with dozens of reporters — answering question after question, many hostile. He discussed the state of the race and his vision for the country. He also challenged Harris to three debates, two of which she’s already rejected. 

So the question keeps coming up. How can she possibly continue to get away with running a brment strategy campaign? How can she keep disrespecting voters by refusing to show up? The answer is — because she just might get away with it.

The glowing media profiles and gaslighting of Harris’ changed positions are working. There’s no doubt a Vogue cover is in the works. The “journalism” class has simply accepted that Harris is a new, capable candidate with no baggage. The branding that Harris is the way of the future and Trump is of the past has pushed her ahead in many of the polls – in the places where it matters among likely voters. The Harris campaign has done very little. The Democratic media complex has already done most of the work and, of course, her bidding. That's paying off and she’s surging. 

Could that change after the honeymoon wears off? When voters tune in after Labor Day to weigh their options? Sure, but that’s under the assumption the leftist media will fall out of love with their favorite candidate less than three months to go until Election Day in November. 

As for the issues, until Harris disavows her previous positions directly, in front of cameras and with real explanations — not word salad — Americans are fair to assume her classification of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as KKK members, her goals of making private health insurance illegal, her support of a fracking ban, the decriminalization of illegal immigration and much more — still stand as her current positions. It’s the Trump campaign’s mission and obligation to remind voters of who she really is and define her with a mirror as she hides from scrutiny.
