A left-wing publication published a hit piece on Vice President Kamala Harris after she officially secured the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee without a single primary vote.
Author Nancy Rommelmann criticized Democrats for their “COVID amnesia,” President Joe Biden claimed Harris accomplished an excellent task of reopening the nation. However, the left-leaning outlet is refusing to let the Democratic Party off the hook for this one.
Rommelmann pointed out that schools were forced to remain closed in Democrat-run cities while Republican governors began opening back up their states. She cited the destruction that these cities are still facing the repercussions thanks to the Biden Administration’s policies.
“Democrats might count on Americans to be forgiving, but they are not stupid, and they would do well to not let the pageantry of televised politics obfuscate the fact that they are being lied to,” she wrote.
Rommelmann was careful not to give former President Donald Trump any positive spotlight, noting that it was under his leadership that the six-foot distancing rule and masks were mandated. She said that when Biden was elected, she and fellow Democrats were relieved that new leadership might bring change. However, she quickly learned that the country “needed to be rescued, and the only ship in sight flew a blue flag.”
But then we couldn’t get off. We were captive to decisions sold in the name of science but created more crudely by teachers’ unions and political appointees. Children were among the worst off as America—blue America, really, like the host city to the Democratic National Convention—kept its schools closed longer than any peer country. Does the Biden administration expect voters to not remember this? In our supposed exuberance over Kamala Harris, are we somehow supposed to invent a memory of her heroic effort to pry open schools? Although gaslighting is a term we should probably retire for overuse, it’s worth keeping in mind as we look at the 2020–21 school-reopening timeline we are being asked to magically revise in 2024, with an eye toward what, if anything, Harris had to do with it.
Harris also didn’t do anything to change the administration’s policies. Instead of facing down the teachers’ unions and urging local jurisdictions to reopen their schools immediately, the Biden administration decided to try buying their cooperation. So what did Biden mean when he said Harris “helped states and cities get their schools back open”? That one vote? I asked the Harris campaign for comment but did not hear back. Keeping schools closed for so long was a mistake, and the Democrats shouldn’t pretend Harris is responsible for opening them. Nor should voters allow Democrats to pretend that she did.
According to several polls, Harris’ favorability remains well under water.
A YouGov/The Economist and a Gallup survey found that nearly 50 percent of voters find Harris unfavorable. Meanwhile, an Emerson College and a FiveThirtyEight poll found that the vice president does not hold an advantage over Trump.
They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility bills.
They messed with supply chains and emptied store shelves, while the elites partied on yachts and Martha’s Vineyard.
They queered women’s sports and the military, and made the citizenry pay for it.
They sexualized schoolchildren, and persecuted parents at school board meetings.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.
Do not forget what they have done.
Do not forgive them.
They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmareof the last 4+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best the Biden administration can do is free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the 2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us.
Project.
Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).
DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in perpetuity.
Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a “public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
(Remember, they are the very same people who ignore a pubic health emergency aka AIDS.)
They will trample your rights.
VOTE THEM OUT.
NEVER FORGET.
REMEMBER…..in NOVEMBER!
Short article. It’s not like these people have the passion of an RFK.
I loved RFK’s NV speech yesterday, but it was verbose, like a college lecture.
I was kind of expecting footnotes and citations.
“The Atlantic”—which I long ago enjoyed and subscribed to—is now owned by leftist oligarch Laurene Powell Jobs.
Will she fire Nancy Rommelmann? Enquiring minds want to know!
Covid hope and joy!
They will also make you eat bugs.
But only if you let them! Vote them ALL out!
There’s a clip from some Ted-talk type event at which Kommie-la laughs her ass off about the need to be “woke.” Lauren P Jobs is sitting there looking at her like, “I can’t believe she’s saying the quiet part out loud.”
“We have to stay woke. Like everybody needs to be woke.”

ALL excellent points of history. Thank you for taking the time post the list.
Anyone who finds “JOY” in what these worthless, criminal DIMs are doing to this country is mentally ill.
You must live on the moon.
The list is the work of FReeper “day10”.
All I did was add html tags and couple of words at the end.
They know they're living a lie - and that is a miserable existence.
WELL,DONE.
Yes - and I hung on every word, although I wasn't expecting to when it began.
He was firing truth from beginning to end. Phenomenal speech.
btt
Excellent post! Do you mind, can I post that on Kamalas Twitter?
Lauren P Jobs smiled at The Cackler!
“The Cackler” is a good name for kamala. Just like a Batman villain!
This Harris campaign is going to turn into a train wreck soon if not already. It’s going to come apart at the seams.
