Kamala Harris Struggles to Answer Economic Questions on MSNBC
Breitbart ^ | September 25, 2024 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 09/25/2024 6:17:02 PM PDT by Red Badger

Vice President Kamala Harris gave her first solo interview Wednesday on cable news as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, and failed to answer questions even in a friendly interview by MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle.

Ruhle — who faced criticism for comments Friday in which she had defended Ruhle from having to face questions about her policies — asked Harris pointed questions and even fact-checked some of her repeated talking points.

When Harris tried to claim, falsely — as she has in the past — that “Donald Trump left us with the worst economy since the Great Depression” (it was, in fact, growing when he left office), Ruhle noted: “It was during COVID and employment was so high because we shut down the government, we shut down the country.” Harris then said Trump lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs before the pandemic, which is also false: manufacturing jobs rose by 450,000.

Ruhle also fact-checked Harris’s claim — also a staple of Joe Biden’s economic speeches — that Trump’s 2017 tax cuts only benefited the rich and corporations. “He didn’t just cut corporate taxes, he cut individual taxes,” Ruhle observed.

The MSNBC interviewer also pointed out that Harris’s plans to expand the child tax credit or to offer assistance with mortgage down payments could not be done without approval from Congress, and the help of Republicans. “If you can’t raise corporate taxes, or if the GOP takes control of the senate, where do you get the money to do that? Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow?” As Ruhle later observed, Harris did not want to answer at all.

She couldn’t answer any question on which kind of crap paper she uses. She’s a fraud.

Mark Cuban said today on Cavuto that he liked Harris and he liked her because of her economic policies
Cavuto asked him why

Cuban said she is thorough

I hope enough people are sick to the extreme that we are ruled by idiots.

Harris acquired a law degree and passed the California bar at some point in her life, yes? Am I the only person who wonders if that may need verification?

Apparently, you have to know the difference between gin, rum, vodka, and whiskey. Kamala passed with flying colors.

You are not alone. I have often wondered how the ditz managed those two feats. As an attorney - and a prosecutor - you would think she'd be able to think on her feet. One cannot say that about Que Mala. Maybe she can't do anything well... on her feet.

Maybe she paid someone to take the bar for her.

“..Harris acquired a law degree and passed the California bar at some point in her life, yes? Am I the only person who wonders if that may need verification?...”

Same goes for two of New York’s finest ghettopotumus; peekaboo James and Fat Fani. They allegedly passed the BAR as well.
It appears that IF one is the right sex and color, one can “pass” anything...like a genius. But a heterosexual, white, Christian male? Not so much...they’re apparently dumber than a corn cob. /s

No, I often wondered where she graduated in her law school, top, middle, or bottom. What was her GPA?

The financial matters of the past influence the present financial matters which minute by minute will slip into the past and become the financial matters of the past we are living with in memory.
