How black is Kamala Harris? Not nearly as black as she is liberal. And don’t let her giggles fool you. Underneath that mindless exterior lies a wasteland of liberal stupidity. Harris will make sentient Americans long for the old days of Slow Joe.
Biden was bad, but Harris will teach Americans how terrible government can be when it’s hardcore left. Her administration will be a liberal nightmare made real. It will be like nothing most Americans have ever contemplated.
Can Trump remember to say that at every rally?
Recently, Trump has been banging away on the idea that Harris really isn’t black. That’s fun, and there’s lots to it. But it’s not where the gold is.
The truth is, Harris really isn’t anything at all unless it will work to her advantage, the way pretending to be a feather Indian worked for Senator Elizabeth Warren—until she filmed herself saying, “I think I’ll, um, get me a beer.”
The Democrat Party is trying to make a scandal out of Trump’s claim that Harris is hardly black. But the record is there, and it’s worth spending a little time to make sure blacks in America understand that she’s a fraud. She’d sell them out as fast as the Democrat party sold out Old Joe.
Trump isn’t the first person to point out that Harris really isn’t black. In 2016, Business Insider wrote, “The victory of 51-year-old Harris makes her the first Indian-American senator.”
In 2020, Jamelle Bouie, a columnist for the New York Times wrote, “Harris, whose mother emigrated from India and whose father emigrated from Jamaica, is a woman of Tamil and African ancestry who identifies as Black.” Okaaaaay, but suppose she identified as a Martian? Would that make her a Martian?
In 2020, a CNN piece, “How Harris’ Indian Roots Shaped Her Political Views” said this: “A lasting impression on Senator Harris is from her mother as well as her maternal grandfather, who [sic] she used to visit very often in India. Those were her roots that she keeps talking about so proudly.”
And in another 2020 CNN piece, “What Kamala Harris’ Indian Roots Reveal about the US,” CNN wrote: “By 2018, there were nearly 2.7 million Indian immigrants living in the US. And now, Gopalan’s daughter, Sen. Kamala Harris, is the first Indian American on a major party’s presidential ticket.”
Whatever Harris is, the real point is that her policies are anti-black, which means they are typical liberal policies. The Democrats’ liberalism is bad for everyone, blacks included. That’s what Trump needs to hammer home to all Americans, blacks as well as whites, Hispanics, Asians . . . everybody.
But Trump also needs to harp on Harris’s incompetence. Harris’s most egregious failure, in recent memory, was as “border czar.” She has tried to run away from the title (and the assignment), and the media is trying their corrupt best to help her. That would be the same media that lied and lied for years and years about President Biden’s competence—and lied and lied and covered up the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
Trust the media as you would trust Venezuelan strongman Maduro to count votes honestly.
Kamala Harris, as Joe Biden’s surrogate, let millions of illegals into the country. It may be eight million. It may be eleven million. No one is quite sure, since the numbers are so large.
Does that really matter? The answer is that it matters to some people, and it matters to those people a lot. The effects of all those illegals are felt primarily by the people in the country least able to adjust to those effects. Who are those people? And what are the effects?
Illegal immigrant children get to go to U.S. public schools under the 1982 Supreme Court’s ruling in Plyler vs. Doe (ripe for overruling). Public schools are already, for the most part, dreadful. (They are dreadful because they are run by the teachers’ unions that own the Democrat party chalk, black board, and eraser.) Managing an influx of millions of illegal children, many of whom speak no English, will make the schools worse—always assuming that’s possible. Which students will suffer the most? Blacks, of course. They depend on public schools more than any other group.
The illegals will also tend to take low-paying jobs, which are precisely the jobs that the least educated people in our country need. Who are the least educated people in our country, according to test scores? The blacks. Why? Some will say because they have lower IQs and are therefore less educatable. Or perhaps it’s because they are the victims of teachers’ unions’ policies.
Why are Democrats so supportive and solicitous of strangers whose presence here will be inimical to American citizens—home-grown people whom politicians should care deeply about and on whom the country has spent trillions to help climb the ladder of, if not success, at least of survivability? What’s going on here?
Who are the people we should want to receive particular care from politicians? Surely lower-income blacks and other struggling citizens, not recently arrived illegal immigrants.
Whatever Harris really is, her administration would be bad for blacks and for a lot of other people as well. Her policies would make her the most anti-black politician we’ve had since Democrats gave up Jim Crow, perhaps since Joe Biden stopped voting with Southern Democrat segregationists.
But the key point for all Republicans, and especially Trump, to remember is this: keep your eye on the ball, which in this case is Harris’s crazy ultra-liberalism.
And here’s why it’s key: in late July of 1988, after the Democratic National Convention, Michael Dukakis surged to a 17-point lead over George H. W. Bush, according to Gallup polling. Following the Democrat convention, Bush described Dukakis as the “liberal governor of Massachusetts,” including the charge that he was soft on crime. Willie Horton, a convicted murderer, assaulted and raped a woman while on a weekend “furlough” from a Massachusetts prison.
Bush also attacked Dukakis as being insufficiently patriotic. (Dukakis had vetoed a bill requiring Massachusetts teachers to lead students in the Pledge of Allegiance.)
Bush kept hammering Dukakis on his liberalism and by August, Dukakis’s lead had dropped to 7 points, and by September, Bush led 49–41 percent. In the end, Bush won the election with 53.4 percent of the vote, compared to Dukakis’s 45.6 percent.
That’s the blueprint for Trump. Beating up on Harris for not being black is only a small part, and it may even be a waste of precious time because of the blowback it will produce from Trump’s enemies.
Hammering away at Harris’s extreme liberalism is the key to victory for Trump. He may need help remembering that.
