Kamala Harris fails to hide who she is

Read my full column on the Washington Examiner website.

The moment when Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris graced voters with her presence finally came on Thursday night. It has been well over a month since the vice president was crowned by her party’s regime as the face of American democracy, and she finally delivered on her promise to have a single sit-down interview by the end of August.

And what did we learn from this embarrassing, 18-minute-long, over-edited spectacle located in what felt like a partially constructed office-themed escape room? Nothing, and everything.

First, it’s obvious that Harris is simply terrible at this. Her safe spaces are limited to scripted speaking events in which her one job is to read the words placed in front of her and, when absolutely necessary, preprepared and staged social interactions with willing participants who are only there to smile and nod and bask in her glory.

But even in what was a laughably friendly environment — more on that in a moment — Harris proved exactly why her handlers keep her on a script as if their lives depended on it. Every answer involved nonsensical rambling that tried to sew together endless contradictory positions with trademark Kamalaisms.

“Deadlines around time” was a personal favorite.

She tried and failed to paint “Bidenomics” as a success. She tried and failed to rebrand her nonefforts to address the border crisis. And she tried and failed to explain away the fact that she defended President Joe Biden’s capacity in office immediately after his career-ending debate performance — and right before she stepped over his corpse to measure the Oval Office for new curtains.

Her reasoning? “My values have not changed.” Sounds great until you realize her values are “communism.”
