The Ultimate Duping of America
I shouldn’t be surprised when I witness the duping of the American public. Madison Avenue does it every day, so it is not unusual. But seeing now as it plays out in the presidential election is making me ill.
Up until a month ago, Kamala Harris was the butt of incessant jokes. Her word salad and cackling made her into a public fool. An NBC News poll last June found her to be the single least popular vice president in American history—only 32% of Americans had a positive view of her. Then the unthinkable occurred. Harris became the Democrat nominee for president, and the Democrat-controlled media set out to rehabilitate her. In the blink of an eye, she became the reincarnation of Lincoln. Will the voting public buy it?
I have said it before, and I will say it again. No one in his right mind should support Harris. She is, to borrow from a Wall Street Journal editorial, an insult to American voters. Oddly enough, her public fool persona is not the worst thing about Harris. Her personal attributes are eclipsed by her extreme leftist views. “She is farther left than 97 percent of the Democrats,” said Mark Levin, “the most extreme radical politician ever to run for high office in the United States of America.”
Make no mistake, she was chosen because she is a stooge for the left. Harris has no ideological grounding. She will do as she is told. Regardless of the meaningless answers she gives in response to questions, she can be relied upon to fulfill what Obama started 16 years ago. Her policies, fed to her by her Marxist handlers, will transform the nation into a replica of Venezuela.
What Harris conveniently leaves out is the Marxist platform she serves: how she intends to destroy the country with price controls, a war on fossil fuels, a 25 percent tax on unrealized gains, higher corporate tax rates, and a forever open border. By avoiding interviews and press conferences, she has cleverly kept the real Kamala Harris under wraps.
Ah, but on August 29, Harris deigned to give a faux interview to another mental midget, Dana Bash of CNN. As Sky News in Australia was quick to point out, this was not a real interview. It was a promotional piece worthy of the best Madison Avenue has to offer. Instead of revealing the truth about Harris, we were treated to another round of lies and evasion.
We waited for this interview with bated breath. Harris had been under pressure to explain her policy positions. Instead, we got idiotic questions such as, “Tell us about when Joe called you.” Barf. When Bash got around to asking Harris why she has flip-flopped on many of her positions, Harris neglected to answer the question. Instead, Harris offered one of her word salads about “my values haven’t changed.”
Apparently nothing has changed. She has stated her values over and over: open borders, disband ICE, defund the police, Green New Deal, throw Israel under the bus, stop bail for criminals, raise taxes on corporations, stop fracking, and censor political opponents.
When asked why she hasn’t taken action to fix the economy, Harris said, “I’ve already laid out a number of proposals to bring down the cost of everyday goods.” We were hoping to hear what they were, but no such luck.
Asked to describe her day-one objectives should she win the election, Harris did not list any specific steps. “One of my highest priorities,” she said, “is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class.” How? She wouldn’t say.
Will Harris stop the avalanche of illegal border crossings that have characterized the Biden/Harris presidency? Harris sidestepped the issue by stating that she prosecuted criminals in the past. She has no intention of closing the border. Instead, she blamed Trump. “Trump killed my border bill.” A terrible bill, by the way, which deserved to be killed.
If making changes is Harris’ priority, she could have been making them for the last three and a half years. She could be doing it during the next five months. She could be doing it now. What is stopping her? If she is incapable of doing it now, why should we think she could or would do it in 2025? Her interview provided no answers, only a continuation of the duping of America.
