Harris scrambles to introduce herself to voters before Trump succeeds in villainizing her
NBC News | Comcast ^ | August 18, 2024 | By Peter Nicholas (D-NBC)

WASHINGTON — A mad scramble is underway to introduce Vice President Kamala Harris to Americans who know little about her, with both campaigns vying to leave a vivid impression that sinks in before voters start casting ballots this fall.

In the 11-week sprint to the election, Harris’ campaign is pouring tens of millions of dollars into an ad blitz meant to humanize a candidate whom the electorate may know only as the understudy to Joe Biden.

As Democrats assemble in Chicago, Harris’ challenge is to persuade voters that the story she’s telling about her life and vision rings true, and that Trump’s caricature of her falls flat.

Coming off the abrupt Harris-for-Biden swap, Trump is working to villainize her — resorting to his familiar tactic of name-calling. He’s trotted out various attack lines, questioning her intelligence and racial makeup.

Trump labeled Harris a “radical left socialist” during a news conference at his Bedminster, New Jersey, home on Thursday — recycling the same phrase he used to disparage Biden four years ago in a speech to conservative activists.

“People don’t know who she is,” Trump added.

Who is she, then?

Because of course no Republican has EVER been “villainized” by Democrats.

Oh, no. Democrats have ALWAYS allowed Republicans to introduce themselves.

Hope you can detect my sarcasm.

Trump doesn’t have to villainize her. As VP, she has had plenty of time to introduce and villainize herself just fine.

Of course, she will keep on trying to introduce herself (i.e., telling her lies) to the voters right up til the election is decided. And Trump/Vance will continue to tell the truth about her.

“Who is she?” Someone who started working on her knees for Willies willie, and smoked a lot of dope with Martel, then proceeded to help turn San Francisco into a dump. Phony as can be, cackles when she’s clueless, which is often, actually most of the time, and waves her hands around like she’s swatting at flies. Flip-flops when she deems it necessary, the retracts, or “misspoke”.

Never ever forget - MSM is the enemy of objective journalism, free speech, and American patriots. Everything printed, displayed, broadcast, or spoken by MSM is intended to demoralize, demonize, demean, or belittle conservative Americans. Never trust MSM.

So CBS has a similar article out. Talking points given to them by the DNC?
Notice no mention that CommieLa has called Trump a criminal and Vance as weird.

No, it’s The Associated Pravda spewing their gaslight to a bunch of different “news” outlets.

It’s insane how the media is treating Comrade Kamala like a brand new figure, like she’s something fresh and totally unrelated to the failures of the Biden administration. Is NBC admitting here that the media’s efforts to re-brand her have not fully succeeded if she still needs to “introduce” herself?

And I do love the defensiveness of how this article is written, like the presstitutes can just feel how Trump is gearing up to crush her.

Kamala’s has defined herself as a villain with her own words and actions. All Trump is doing is telling the truth.
