Kamala Harris Blocks Reporters from Hawaii Event Amid Kabul Firestorm
Mediaite ^ | 8/26/2021 | Rudy Takala

Posted on 08/27/2021 1:49:10 PM PDT by simpson96

Vice President Kamala Harris inexplicably blocked reporters for an event in Hawaii on Thursday amid the firestorm over events in Afghanistan.

“The VP’s staff informed the pool during the flight that her event with troops at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam would now be closed press,” an update from Harris’ press pool said late Thursday. “No explanation given by the VP’s team for why it has been changed to closed press when asked by a member of the pool.”

The event is on the tail end of Harris’ trip to southeast Asia, which was plagued by negative headlines for the vice president. She departed the United States for Singapore on Friday, where Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong suggested the “awry” withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan had created problems for America’s image around the globe.

Originally, Harris had been set to fly to San Francisco next to stump for California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who is facing a recall election just two years into his term as governor. She is now slated to return to Washington, D.C. instead.

off topic- someone asked said

“unexpected”
“rare”
“inexplicably”

Little ways to see that they are telling us something they don’t want to tell us.

This incompetent moron thought she could just waltz into White House and the thugs of her filthy Party would simply thrash anyone who got in her way. Unfortunately for her there are bad actors in this world and they aren’t US citizens who can simply be brutalized by the thuggish US Fed Govt at whim. Xi and Putin and the Taliban are laughing at her and the other frauds who pretend to be the leaders of this country.

She probably figured if an idiot like Joe Biden could be VP, why not her? And now we discover that she doesn’t even have the sense of a Bidementia patient.

I wonder if she is in Hawaii having any private chats with Tulsi Gabbard? Does anyone really think that Tulsi has just gone away?

I wonder how many liberals start their day reading here just so they can be sure to get their daily fix of “I’m so offended!”

Who’s the most relieved about the cancelled CA trip, Harris or Newsom? I suppose it could be a draw.

Asked about the brightly colored ritual welcome lei placed over her head by a young Hawaiian man upon her arrival she said “I’m in politics. This is definitely not the first time I’ve ever been leied. Believe me.”

I still don’t get why she got such little support.
Female, minority, military, and seems reasonable even though her voting record is quite liberal. (not in the classic sense of the word)

Three possible explanations:

  1. Her handlers figured out that she couldn't possibly help Newsom.
  2. Polling has shown that Newsom is toast anyway.
  3. The The RAT party has figured out how to "harvest" and "create" enough votes anyway that what happens really doesn't matter.

    Which is it?

So when Trump bans reporters it’s a “constitutional crisis”, when Kameltoe does it it’s just another day.
