"Unscripted" Interview Mishap [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 13 October 2024 | John Semmens

In an effort to prove she could handle an unscripted interview Vice-President Kamala Harris appeared on a Univision town hall this week. In the midst of Kamala's efforts to dodge a voter's concerns that she became the Democrats' nominee without getting any primary votes, the camera swiveled to an angle showing the teleprompter the candidate was reading.

Harris/Walz Campaign Chairwoman Jennifer O'Malley Dillon explained "using a teleprompter doesn't mean the interview was scripted. As we all saw, neither the voter nor Kamala had a script in their hands. The teleprompter simply allows the candidate's brain-trust to suggest possible answers for her to use. There's not anything sinister about it. President Biden has frequently employed the same procedure."

Trump/Vance campaign spokesman Steven Cheung observed "the Vice-President did not address the content of the voter's question. She boasted about how courageous and noble President Biden is to have stepped down and urged the Party to get behind her. Granted, Party big shots all got behind her, but that isn't the same thing as letting voters decide who they want. Apparently, her 'brain-trust' was advising her to avoid addressing the voter's concerns about the process not involving winning any votes. I can understand why not winning any votes might be embarrassing for Kamala. During the 2020 presidential race she dropped out before receiving a single vote in any primary."

O'Malley Dillon pointed out "the 'big shots' Mr. Cheung disparages are high-ranking elected officials that include former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, current Majority Leader of the Senate Charles Schumer, and many others who have received millions of Democrat votes to attain their lofty positions. Clearly, voters had virtual representation in the process that selected the Vice-President to be the Party's presidential nominee. This was the point that the Vice-President was trying to make in her answer at the town hall meeting."

In related news, in an appearance on ABC's The View Harris said she "can't think of anything significant that I would've done differently from what President Biden has done during his presidency." Trump made this ten seconds of video into a campaign ad.

On ABC’s “The View,” Harris said she “can’t think of anything significant
she’d do differently from what Biden has done during his presidency.”

Then why did you turn it off once the camera "saw" it?

“....using a teleprompter doesn’t mean the interview was scripted.”

Good Lord. These people will say, and expect us to believe, literally ANYTHING.

That is an admission she is not intellectually capable. I have watched Trump take hostile question after question from the media with no teleprompter or aids of any kind. He is intellectually capable of this. Kamala is not.

Is a brain trust like a monetary trust? You give control of your brain to another entity to avoid taxing it or having it taken from you? Because it seems like any thought taxes Commie-la's brain.
