Kamala Harris. Depending on your political viewpoints, you may love her name or hate it. One thing that people don’t seem to be about Harris is indifferent.
Now, to be fair, people aren’t indifferent about Trump, either. He’s polarizing. In his case, that’s probably intentional. In her case? It’s hard to say if it’s intentional or if she can’t tell how to run a campaign (based on the turnover rate of her employees while she’s been Vice President, it seems pretty clear that she doesn’t know how to manage people well).
And with all of her flip flops on policies, presumably to try to win support from people who are even remotely to the right of Karl Marx fanboys, she’s not giving the impression that she can be trusted. And that’s not the impression that politicians want to give voters.
You may be asking why I would say such a thing, on what basis I would put forth these kinds of unflattering speculations about Harris?
It’s a fair question. And I’ll use just one example (of the many available) here to make my point (hat tip to here for the lead). Shane Harris writes,
“Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,” Harris said on stage in Philadelphia last month during her debate with Donald Trump. “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away.”
Sure, Kamala. That’s exactly why people started bringing up your fervently anti-2A past immediately after you said that. (Shane) Harris continues:
The first follow-up came a little over a week after the debate when Harris told Oprah Winfrey, “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” a jarring declaration she punctuated with one of her infamous cackles. Then came the awkward moment on CBS’ “60 Minutes” when the vice president said specifically that she owns a “Glock” and has “had it for quite some time.”
Were it not for those two subsequent comments, Harris’ initial debate remark might’ve faded away after some mild ribbing from conservatives.
So now Harris has created an even bigger headache for herself, namely because she has supported policies which would not only outlaw handgun ownership, but ban Glocks specifically. In 2005, Harris backed a San Francisco measure that would’ve outlawed handguns in the city; her 2008 Supreme Court brief in D.C. v. Heller explicitly argued that the Second Amendment does not protect the right of private citizens to use handguns for home self-defense – exactly what Harris told Oprah she has a gun for. Most Glocks also have what Harris would consider a “high-capacity magazine” (10 rounds), which she has forcefully called for banning.
In the end, Harris turned what should’ve been only a mildly embarrassing moment into a classic self-own. But missteps such as these aren’t aberrations, they are indicative of a deeper problem in a national campaign.
Now, sure, it’s hypothetically possible that Harris forgot that she had worked to ban Glocks while she owned one herself. I mean, considering how she’s run the country over the last three and a half years, I might be tempted to buy this mental lapse. After all, it would be just like we’ve seen Biden do on stage many times during that same time period.
But if she is that mentally incompetent that she forgets that kind of detail on such a hot topic issue, especially one that she’s trying to change her public image about, do we really want that person with the nuclear codes for our country?
And if she isn’t that mentally incompetent, that seems to imply that she is just that willfully dishonest.
Some have argued that all politicians are liars, and with a few exceptions (Representative Thomas Massie comes to mind), I’m inclined to agree.
But this goes beyond the kinds of white lies that many people expect from politicians. Those are the kinds of untruths that people tell to avoid an awkward and unpleasant social situation or confrontation much of the time. Things like “Yes, that color looks great on you,” or “It’s so nice to finally meet you,” or “Your baby is really cute!”
No, Harris lying about owning a Glock (which I would need to see the purchase receipt to believe). Or she is pretending that she doesn’t know her own policy record on such a firebrand issue, and tends to make me think that we can’t trust her about anything of any importance at all.
Frankly, if the Democrats really wanted to have a good candidate that they thought might actually have a good chance of easily winning this year, they should have found someone more competent, likable, and honest. And it wouldn’t hurt for them to have found someone who has an intelligent viewpoint on the Second Amendment and private firearm ownership, too.
Instead, they gave people Kamala.
Konrad Kamala wants to disarm America so she and her Brain Trust can micro manage every American from CRADLE TO GRAVE !
You can always trust a communist to be a communist. If their mouth is open their lying.
ONE THING ABOUT IT YOU CAN`T TRUST A LIER WAKE UP PEOPLE THE DEMOCRATS ARE HELLBENT ON DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY
I wish she had been asked about whether she carries the gun with the safety on or off and how many rounds in the magazine. I guarantee neither would have ended well for her. Or maybe, what cartridges she used at the range vs what she kept for self protection.
A Glock does not have a safety (oops, maybe that is what you meant)…… $100 says she has never been to a range, just like “2 blasts” biden.
She is both stupid and a layer, first she does not know the Constitution it says “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, meaning Purchase, own, and carry, (or be with) with no restrictions, shall not be infringed” . Second she is an anti-gun person going by the lye’s they tell …
My opinion?
She has no clue about guns, no knowledge about them, no knowledge how to use them, and it scares me to think that she would own one. She’d probably shoot her toe off first try!
So, I think she’s B Sing.
scary either way. This is what is “running” our country. I say that very loosely, since we have not had a President nor VP for 4 years now. What we DO have is an imposter in the WH, from a stolen election.
B.S,!
What we have in the White House is a demented pedophile with Harris being a lying bubble-headed communist with a low gag reflex.
Socialists, if they’re breathing they’re deceiving.
She probably did not get that gun thru lawful channels. Either that, or she lied on the 4473 about not having a drug habit, which she attested to on live national TV about her MJ escapades.
llipstick is wasted on the pig
She is full of shit on all subjects at her campaigns the one I like is how she is going to tax the rich and take care of the middle class, every candidate running for president has said the same thing and I have yet seen any of them back up their mouths tax the rich and take care or the middle class they are all a joke and full oof shit all Harris would do if she makes it is turn this country more into communism that already exist she along with the congress wants our lives and fill their pockets even more than they already have the congress needs to be term just like the president.
Term Limits for all politicians!!! Speaking of term limits, Kamala Harris wants even more abortions than we already have here in America (about 930,160 or more per year). Maybe Kamala wants it to be an even million?
That is much worse than car accidents, drinking and driving, drive-by shootings, Murders (and murders with firearms).
Some of the abortion clinics even sell parts harvested from their abortions.
In a communist, Marxist world Kamala might be a happy person.
Why would we vote for two communists?
I am offended by the lying and stupidity of both harris and walz. they are following the obama approach of picking a more stupid fool for a VP. If you add sleepy joe to those two you get three stooges. They will all burn in hell for their crimes against americans.
