The worst fears of Democrat operatives about the disastrous candidacy of Kamala Harris may be beginning to be realized following CNN’s pseudo-interview. If it weren’t for pseudo-interviewer Dana Bash failing to ask follow-up questions like a serious journalist would, the full extent of Harris’ ineptitude, dishonesty, and intractable odiousness would be even better known.
When asked what she would do on Day One if (Lord, help us) she were elected, Jack Handey Kamala Harris slurred,
I will tell you first and foremost 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 that people are ready for a new way forward in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by — by hope and by optimism.
Let’s rewrite that, striking out every word that fails to address Dana Bash’s question:
……………………………
That’s it. Nothin.’
Harris’ content-free responses continued when Bash asked Harris if she would “do anything differently” from Biden to end the war in Gaza. Bash asked, “For example, would you withhold some U.S. weapons shipments to Israel?” Harris then began her rhetorical jig all around Dana Bash’s question. Here is the gist of her response:
Let me be very clear. … we have got to get a deal done. We — we were in Doha. We have to get a deal done. This war must end. … And we must get a deal that is about getting the hostages out. … Let’s get the ceasefire done. … we have to get a deal done. Dan — Dana, we have to get a deal done. When you look at the significance of this to the families, to the people who are living in that region — it — a deal is not only the right thing to do to end this war but will unlock so much of what must happen next.
Harris accused former President Trump of “dividing our nation” and implied that Trump and/or Republicans believe “the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down.” Poison and irony drip from her forked tongue.
Which party has been telling white people that they are oppressors for no reason other than their skin color? Which party has been beating men down for decades, calling their maleness “toxic”? Which party cheerfully butchers the least among us? Which party beats down women by allowing men in their locker rooms and sports? And which candidate is a “dues-paying member” of a church with a divisive pastor whom many compare to Barack Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright.
Since Harris brought up division and remains an integral part of the Biden/Harris unity administration, let’s take a look at what her pastor—a man she admits to long admiring—has been doing to unify the country.
At a memorial service to honor victims of 9/11, held six days after the horrific event, Kamala Harris’ friend and pastor Amos C. Brown III spoke:
America, is there anything you did to set up this climate?
America, America, what did you do—either intentionally or unintentionally—in the world order, in Central America, in Africa where bombs are still blasting?
America, what did you do in the global warming conference when you did not embrace the smaller nations? America, what did you do two weeks ago when I stood at the world conference on racism, when you wouldn’t show up?
Ohhhh—America, what did you do?
That’s what he said in the presence of families whose loved ones died just days earlier. So offensive were his words that even Nancy Pelosi was aghast.
The world conference on racism to which Brown referred was, according to Front Page Magazine, “the Durban conference whose antisemitism was so extreme that the United States had withdrawn from the proceedings.”
In San Francisco, home of his church, Brown threatened an Asia rapper who produced a video critical of San Francisco’s incompetent leftist mayor, London Breed, a threat for which Brown was forced to apologize when his actions became public.
Brown has been the controversial spokesperson in favor of all non-black San Franciscans being forced to pay reparations to blacks.
And according to San Francisco resident and political commentator Richie Greenberg writing in the California Globe,
[Brown’s] been quite vocal from the pulpit, using his voice and influence to proclaim edicts and influence parishioners on many issues political. He’s in direct violation of IRS nonprofit activism rules.
…
Being divisive in such a time … inflaming fragile to poor relations between two racial communities of our city, Reverend Amos Brown has straddled, muddled and ignored religious, racial and constitutional principles and law, and ruined community respect.
Harris has shared that the first person she called after Dems colluded to kick Biden off the political scene and install her was her divisive pastor to ask him for prayers. For what does a pastor who endorses a woman who supports the legalized slaughter of the unborn throughout the entire nine months of gestation pray? Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote in Letter from Birmingham Jail, “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God.” Is slaughtering God’s human creation in line with the law of God?
Divisiveness and dishonesty are Kamala’s stock-in-trade and apparently those are the qualities she sought in a running mate. When Dana Bash invited Kamala’s sidekick/rescuer Comrade Walz to come clean about his prevaricating on his military record, he took the opportunity and gave it the heave-ho.
Instead of fessing up and apologizing, he blamed the error on his poor “grammar” and then implied that criticism of his stolen valor constitutes “demean[ing]” military service. In so doing, he insulted the intelligence and integrity of Americans.
As one wag wrote on Facebook about the farcical interview,
Nothing says, “I’m a capable woman” like doing a pre-recorded edited interview, getting the questions before & bringing a man to help.”
After the CNN faux-interview, I could hear in my mind’s ear Democrat operatives shrieking in panic, “GET HER BACK IN THE CELLAR STAT!”
