Of course she wouldn’t have done anything different than President Biden. She’s the empty replacement figurehead.
In her appearance on “The View” this week, Vice President Kamala Harris was asked if she would have done anything differently than President Joe Biden over the past four years. She answered, incredibly, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
Commentators were quick to note how disastrous an answer it was given Harris’ previous efforts to distinguish herself from Biden, whose tenure in office is widely seen as a failure. The problem for Harris of course is that she’s the current vice president, which means she’s not the challenger but the de facto incumbent. Distinguishing herself from Biden was always going to be difficult. What’s more, the Biden White House has gone out of its way to emphasize how integral Harris has been to the administration. Biden himself said last week, she has been “a major player in everything we’ve done.”
Previous attempts by Harris to distance herself from Biden, like choosing “A New Way Forward” as her campaign slogan, or talking about what she’ll do on “day one in office,” have come off as fake and half-hearted. They have also lacked credibility. As former President Donald Trump noted in the debate last month, she’s been in office nearly four years. Why hasn’t she done any of the things she says she’ll do if she wins the presidency?
But Harris’ answer on “The View” also did something else, which might be even worse for her electoral prospects than endorsing all of Biden’s decisions. She inadvertently exposed the uncomfortable truth at the heart of her campaign, which Harris and the corporate media desperately don’t want to talk about.
And the truth is this: she’s only running for president because it became impossible to hide Biden’s cognitive decline.
Harris isn’t running because she has a vision for the country. She’s not running because she thinks it’s time to “change direction” or because she has a “new way forward.” She doesn’t even have any major policies initiatives.
She’s running because she’s not Joe Biden. That’s it. The entire theory of her campaign comes down to this: Biden was unfit to run so someone else had to, and there was no practical way to pass over the vice president, so she gets to be the nominee.
That fact has been hanging over the Harris campaign like a sword of Damocles since Biden dropped his re-election bid in July. Any direct question about the differences between Harris and Biden, if it wasn’t handled deftly, had the potential to open up the larger question about Biden’s decline and Harris’ complicity in hiding it.
Recall that in the runup to the Trump-Biden debate, the corporate media treated any questions about Biden’s mental acuity or fitness for office as a deranged conspiracy theory. So did Harris. In the aftermath of the February report by special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents and wrote that the president’s memory was “hazy” and had “significant limitations,” Harris aggressively defended the president. She called the Hur report “gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate.”
Even after the June debate, which displayed Biden’s cognitive decline to the entire world, Harris maintained this position. The very night of the debate Harris went on CNN to defend Biden, praising his handling of the presidency despite a “slow start” in the debate and then claiming, absurdly, that Biden is so sharp that world leaders seek out his advice at major international summits.
She did the same thing this past weekend. Asked by Axios if Biden has the stamina and clarity of mind to handle the domestic and international crises in front of him, and whether Harris could “fully assure” voters that there’s no reason to be concerned about the president, the Harris campaign responded, “Of course.”
But of course there’s plenty of reason to be concerned, otherwise Harris wouldn’t be running for president at all. She was only picked to replace Biden when it became impossible to hide Biden’s cognitive decline.
This in turn raises questions about who is really running the Biden White House. Because it isn’t Biden. For years now it’s been obvious that Biden isn’t up to the job and in fact isn’t really doing the job. Maybe the reason “not a thing comes to mind” when Harris is asked if she would do anything different than Biden is because Biden is an empty figurehead who isn’t the one running things.
If that’s the case, who is running things? Harris? Probably not, given her lack of ability to think clearly and articulate much of anything. Almost certainly a cabal of deep state bureaucrats have been in charge since Biden took office and will remain in charge if Harris wins.
Harris’ answer on “The View” unintentionally highlighted the corrupt nature of both the Biden presidency and the Harris campaign. Biden isn’t really governing, and Harris isn’t really running on anything. The one thing she does have to run on is the one thing she can’t say: The president is cognitively compromised, and she’s not. Or at least not as much as Biden is.
That was clear all along.
Who believes differently?
And yet Biden seems to have enough wherewithall these days to do some damage to Harris.
Harris doesn’t particularly want to be president.
And even she knows she’ll suck at it.
Oops! Said “suck” in a Harris post ...
Yeah. She’d blow it.
Yeah seems obvious
She’s running because she was told to.
If the Democrats would have allowed a real primary for the nomination, they could have gotten someone other than Harris, and it might be a whole different race.
Is he right? ‘Cause I know that’s the popular version of what went on there. And a lot of people like to believe that. I wish I could, but I was there. I wasn’t here in a class room, hoping I was right, thinking about it.
How many times was Kamala dropped on her head by the nurse in natal care?
Say it! Say it!
“And yet Biden seems to have enough wherewithall these days to do some damage to Harris.”
I sense the hand of “Dr.” Jill in this, as in almost all the things “President” Biden has done since day one.
Well?
So Jill finally did something that makes sense.
A Captain Obvious story.
lol! …I see what you did there!…
She is only running because Michelle Obama REFUSED to stand in for the job. Kamala was never going to be the chosen one. Michelle was always the plan. But Michelle would not be forced into the fire.Barack didn’t even want dumb Kamala or brain dead Joe. Barack always wanted his puppet Michelle that he picked and created. Just like he was picked and created.Michelle stood up and said Enough I’m done.The daughters see it too. When the beloved chef was killed and Diddy got caught I think the Obama family hit the wall of lies. So they had to settle for Kamala for James Clyburn.Obama flooded the border. He has hurt the black population more than any American in history. The black population had a false leader and they will never survive that.Obama is the biggest slave catcher in history everyone that crossed that border illegally is now an Obama slave.
And that is the harsh truth.
Harris is as bad as Biden a no gain deal the puppet masters keep the idiots in stock for a reason.
