When The Washington Post published a 2019 campaign trail feature about then-presidential hopeful Kamala Harris’ close relationship with her sister, it opened with a memorable anecdote in which Harris bizarrely compared the rigors of the campaign trail to…life behind bars.
And then proceeded to laugh—at the idea of an inmate begging for a sip of water.
It was an extremely cringeworthy moment, even by the high standards set by Harris’ failed presidential campaign. But now that Harris is vice president, that awful moment has seemingly vanished from the Post’s website after the paper “updated” the piece earlier this month.
Here’s how the first seven paragraphs of that article, published by the Post on July 23, 2019, and bylined by features reporter Ben Terris, originally appeared:
It was the Fourth of July, Independence Day, and Kamala Harris was explaining to her sister, Maya, that campaigns are like prisons.
She’d been recounting how in the days before the Democratic debate in Miami life had actually slowed down to a manageable pace. Kamala, Maya and the rest of the team had spent three days prepping for that contest in a beach-facing hotel suite, where they closed the curtains to blot out the fun. But for all the hours of studying policy and practicing the zingers that would supercharge her candidacy, the trip allowed for a break in an otherwise all-encompassing schedule.
“I actually got sleep,” Kamala said, sitting in a Hilton conference room, beside her sister, and smiling as she recalled walks on the beach with her husband and that one morning SoulCycle class she was able to take.
“That kind of stuff,” Kamala said between sips of iced tea, “which was about bringing a little normal to the days, that was a treat for me.”
“I mean, in some ways it was a treat,” Maya said. “But not really.”
“It’s a treat that a prisoner gets when they ask for, ‘A morsel of food please,’ ” Kamala said shoving her hands forward as if clutching a metal plate, her voice now trembling like an old British man locked in a Dickensian jail cell. “‘And water! I just want wahtahhh….’Your standards really go out the f—ing window.”
Kamala burst into laughter.
Fweedom!
If she reads the teleprompter in public and has friendly editors in TV studios and newspapers, the public will always be unaware of how cringe-worthy she really is. They saw it once, in the primary debates when Tulsi made her look like a fool. Harris dropped out right after.
Kamala is the only VP ever to accuse the President she works for of being a rapist.
Harris was so popular, she managed to get 3% of the Democrat primary vote in Iowa and New Hampshire.
That’s President Harris.
President-in-Waiting Harris.
Usurper-in-Waiting Heels Up Harris
Uslurper that is. 😆
She couldn’t even break out of single digits in her home state.
“Harris was so popular, she managed to get 3% of the Democrat primary vote in Iowa and New Hampshire.”
She’d already dropped out before that because they (her handlers the Obama team) knew how futile it was.
Horizontal Harris, always the jokester! And survivors of Auschwitz, the gulags, the Cambodian killing fields etc must be laughing their collective asses off.😡😡😡
“an extremely cringeworthy moment”
I’m sure there’s gonna be plenty more where that came from. On top of everything else...she’s just plain old creepy.
She reminds me of the Joker on the original Batman TV series of the 1960’s............................
Here’s to a long life and good health to Joe Biden!
I don’t know if she is this dense or is just a poor communicator. I never understood how someone makes it to the big leagues as a public figure without being able to talk coherently off-the-cuff. If you know what you are talking about — or even if you are telling a joke — you ought to be able to talk without having it all written down. That’s why I never bought the stuff about Obama being a great orator. He is someone who reads aloud fairly well — and he sounds like he is reading aloud.
She IS this dense AND is a poor communicator. ....................
