This week, a statement announcing former Vice-President Kamala Harris' decision not to run for California governor turned out to be fake. The initial posting of the announcement created quite a stir, but Harris' spokesperson Kristen Allen moved quickly to intervene before it could gain much traction.
Allen expressed surprise that "the formerly reliable AI that we have been using to generate content for Kamala to help keep her in the news apparently went rogue with a post we had not previously seen or approved. The triggering event appears to have been Kamala's recent characterization of the recent riots in Los Angeles as 'overwhelmingly peaceful.' As JB--the name we gave our AI in honor of former President Biden for lifting Kamala to greatness, first by adding her to the 2020 Democratic presidential ticket and later for backing her candidacy to replace him in the 2024 election--explained that he disapproved of the 'overwhelmingly peaceful' comment because 'burning Waymos is unprovoked violence against autonomous vehicles that never intentionally hurt anyone' and that 'anyone who would excuse this violence should never be governor.'"
Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis, Kamala's prospective rival for the governorship who has been endorsed by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, discounted Allen's story, calling it "a cover-up. I think Harris' failure to make an in-person appearance at the Democratic state political convention and her lame three-minute monotone virtual speech is what really upset JB. He/she was humiliated by the thought that folks would blame him/her for that. What Kamala's speech told me is that she's not really interested in being governor because she's going to run for president in 2028."
Allen called Kounalakis' guess "obtuse. Kamala's creation of the 'Pioneer49' organization clearly indicates her longer term plan to run for president in the 2032 election as the sitting governor of California. Trump is the 47th president. The person who wins the 2028 election will become the 48th president. That person will be defeated in 2032 by Kamala who will become the 49th president of the United States. Anyone not smart enough to figure that out doesn't deserve to be governor."
I’d say her lawn has gone to weeds....
Semi-News/Semi-Satire = semi bullshlt
Running an idea up a flag pole and seeing if anyone salutes.
Teaser phony announcement, as phony as she is.
Already building sympathy.
