Can Kamala Harris even answer a single question?

It’s official. Donald Trump is “like Hitler” and Kamala Harris — even though she does “pray everyday, sometimes twice a day,” can’t seem to answer questions.

Her “joyful” campaign took a confusing turn in her CNN town hall in Pennsylvania Wednesday night. She opened with an attack on Donald Trump, in answer to Anderson Cooper’s question about John Kelly’s claims. Kamala says Donald Trump is “increasingly unstable,” “unfit,” “fascist to the core” and that “he himself has said he would terminate the constitution of the United States.” It wasn’t until much later that “joy” and “optimism” were mentioned.

The audience at the Delaware County town hall consisted of undecided voters. As Cooper noted, the questions were not “edited in any way by CNN.”

Kamala largely avoided important pointed questions about the economy, Israel, Gaza, policy goals, how her presidency would differ from Biden’s, immigration, the border wall, her mistakes and weaknesses, taxes, the Supreme Court — and wore an uncomfortable look on her face when Cooper pinned her down on certain issues, as if he were poring over the recent Daily Mail stories about her beloved Dougie.

Cooper followed up on one undecided voter question and asked Kamala about her shifting opinions on building a border wall. According to Cooper, Kamala has criticized Trump’s wall more than fifty times, but supports the compromise bill which allots $650 million to securing the border. After Kamala criticized Trump and cackled, Cooper finally cornered her. “I am not afraid of good ideas where they occur,” Kamala answered. “So you don’t think it’s stupid anymore?” Cooper asked, referring to the wall. “I think what he [Trump] did and how he did it did not make much sense because actually he didn’t do much of anything. I just talked about that wall, right.”

At one point Cooper asked Kamala if she believed she would be more pro-Israel than Trump. “I believe that Donald Trump is dangerous,” Kamala responded.

“I will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year,” Kamala assured an undecided voter, asking about taxing the rich. Cooper remarked: “But if you’re earning 500, 600, $700,000 a year, under your plan, there’s a good chance your taxes will go up.”

“We can’t have this conversation without knowing — it’s a very complicated situation,” Kamala said, and then went into how exceedingly complicated it would be because of whether or not that person owned a small business. Because she will cut taxes for small business owners. Good bridge, Harris.

In response to a question about groceries, Kamala pledged to put a national ban on price gouging. Cooper read from her exact plan, saying that she only intended to ban price gouging “on essential goods during emergencies or times of crisis,” and asked how that policy would help people like Eric, the questioner concerned about groceries. After affirming that it’s a “real issue” and referencing how she took on this issue as attorney general of California, she said, “Donald Trump should be here tonight to talk with you and answer your questions. He’s not, he refused to come.” According to Kamala, Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20 percent.

Cooper boxed Kamala in on the Roe v. Wade issue, asking what she could actually do as president. “We need to take a look at the filibuster, to be honest with you,” Kamala said, proceeding to talk about “how we got here.” Cue Donald Trump.

After one undecided voter asked Kamala what she would do differently than Biden, Kamala relied heavily on her experience and vaguely addressed taking care of the elderly, the “sandwich generation,” “what we talked about in terms of housing” and investing in small businesses. Cooper followed up with a “why didn’t you do this the last four years?” “Well there was a lot that was done but there’s a lot more to do,” Kamala responded.

Another undecided voter asked Kamala about her weaknesses, similar to a later question about her mistakes. Both times she gave a Michael Scott answer: “I work too hard. I care too much. And sometimes I can be too invested in my job.”

In response to a question about whether or not she would support adding four more Supreme Court judges, Kamala responded: “in thirteen days you will decide who is the next president of the United States… he’s going to sit there, unstable, unhinged, plotting his retribution,” Kamala continued, “creating an enemies list. I’m going to tell you, my list will be a list of how I address and continue to address the issues that you all are raising this evening.” Emphasis on continue to.

Instead of spending the evening addressing the issues raised, Kamala spent the evening explaining who should be on the American people’s enemy list: Donald “Hitler Stalin Mussolini” Trump.

Yes, by unburdening herself from what has been, she can answer 1 question, as long as it isn’t complicated or involve anything policy-wise, or have to do with her career, or have to do with... ok i changed my mind- maybe she can’t

[null and void]

One, with a yes:

Will you give me a Blow Job?

[V_TWIN]

Can.......won’t

[TexasFreeper2009]

All you have to say when you are Kamala is ..

I grew up in a middle class family, and then repeat back what was asked in about 6 different ways and wait for time to expire and be asked another question.

Rinse, Repeat.

oH! and throw in an occasional Trump is a racist or nazi or whatever!

LMAO

Kamala can answer exactly ONE question: “Are you going to answer a question?”

Her answer, of course, is “No.”

[Sacajaweau]

I'm sure by now, the Dems regret making Kamala the candidate. They should have picked Newsome.

There simply isn't a female of Presidential caliber.

The only female I would have ever considered was Jeane Kirkpatrick. It'll be a long time before we find another one with her credentials...and smarts.

BTTT

[Sacajaweau]

I’m feeling “Joy” and “Burdened” at the same time.

[1Old Pro]

She was just awful. I’m surprised she can get any support other than the rabid pro-abort young gals and their single moms and the teacher union members.

Can Kamala Harris even answer a single question?

She took a couple of days off to prepare for the softball CNN questions. How do you think she would fare against Putin and Xi?

[A_Former_Democrat]

No wonder she rose through the ranks so quickly

[xp38]

Ah.....Burdensome Joy!

HA! Anderson Cooper calls out Kamala Harris for claiming that price gouging is hurting Americans at the grocery store.

Harris refuses to answer the question and complains that Trump did not show up for a CNN town hall.

She changed the subject to 'price-gouging,' which typically happens during a natural disaster, not in everyday prices, then tries to change the subject to President Trump, inventing an obvious lie about a 20% sales tax on food.

Kamala in the Town Hall says grocery stores are price gouging. In fact, Kroger’s financials don’t agree with her gaslighting. Stop spending like drunken sailors and fix the money!

[SeekAndFind]

Despite Kamala's claims of "taking on price gouging," a review shows no direct cases she personally prosecuted as California AG.

Her office mainly enforced existing disaster-related price laws.

Economists criticize her new plan, with Obama's former economist calling it "not sensible policy."

Experts warn it could create shortages and reduce market competition.

Food prices have risen over 20% during the current administration.

[Right Brother]

Anderson Cooper would not ask her that question. Perhaps he would ask Walz.

There’s a nearby convenience store, a privately owned mom -and-pop. I’ve seen the owner in the Dollar Store, buying quantities of items. I’m sure he’s marking them up 100% , or more, and trying to sell them a mile away. Is that “ price gouging?” No. Anyone can go to the $ store

Years ago, we had a three day power outage. The local BiMart would announce on the radio if they got a large shipment of batteries or propane cylinders, and sell them in the parking lot at normal prices. All of this occurs without Fedzilla intervening.

[Sacajaweau]

I'm trying to imagine going to lunch with her.

Are you enjoying your salad Kamala?

The one yesterday was better. Maybe tomorrows will be better. When I was young, my mother would make me a salad. It was better than this one but not better than yesterday's. Some days it was even better because she used the dandelions cut directly from our fabulous lawn.

Fair point. No idea how he’d answer AC is far too old for him...
