OPINION:
Nothing about this Democratic ticket is real. Nothing.
Vice President Kamala Harris did not win any Democratic presidential primary. Yet she is the Democratic Party’s nominee.
At no point in her political career has Ms. Harris earned a single vote from a single Democratic voter to be president. When she ran for the 2020 Democratic nomination, voters in her party found her so unserious and insufferable that her campaign crashed and burned before the first primary.
Everything about her career and record seems to be a lie.
She was the elected prosecutor in San Francisco and later for the state of California. Yet there is no evidence that she actually tried any cases in a courtroom. Indeed, her inability to handle a simple news conference with adversarial reporters asking basic questions suggests there is a reason she stayed out of the courtroom.
Yet the backbone of her campaign is that she was a prosecutor. This is her supposed proof that she will be tough on crime, even though she helped raise money to get rioters out of jail so they could do some more burning and looting during the George Floyd riots.
This is also her supposed proof for why she will crack down on the border, even though as the Biden administration’s border czar, she has flung open the border to millions of illegal aliens who have committed a long and well-documented list of heinous crimes against American citizens, including women and children.
It’s all a lie. She is a fake nominee running a fake campaign, telling lies about her fake record.
Ms. Harris also says she worked for McDonald’s while in school, yet she has provided no evidence or specifics about this supposed employment. Can you imagine the worldwide fact-checking and investigative reporting that would go on if former President Donald Trump had claimed to have worked at McDonald’s in his school days?
Ms. Harris, of course, gets a pass. So does her fake running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who has lied extensively about his military record. There is nothing real about these people.
Even the press coverage they get is laughably fake.
Ms. Harris submitted to one of her first interviews this week since being anointed the fake nominee of the Democratic Party. For this sit-down, Ms. Harris selected a fake political reporter named Stephanie Ruhle, a silly left-wing squawker on MSNBC.
Ms. Ruhle apparently got selected for the job because she recently had a televised dustup with a fellow fake journalist from The New York Times. It wasn’t that they disagreed about who should be the next president. Both said they would vote for Ms. Harris no matter what.
The disagreement sparked because Ms. Ruhle took exception to the notion that Ms. Harris should answer any questions during a presidential campaign.
So Ms. Harris hustled right over to sit for an interview with MSNBC’s spectacularly uncurious Stephanie Ruhle.
The interview went precisely as expected.
“First one — just a fact-check,” Ms. Ruhle began. “Because your opponent, almost every day —“
Ms. Harris immediately interjected: “There is no such thing is a little job,” she said, splitting into hyena laughter — a shrieking reminder why her campaign has instructed her not to laugh in public.
What was interesting about Ms. Harris’ interjection was that it revealed Ms. Harris knew what the question would be even before Ms. Ruhle asked it.
So, not only was it a canned question in a fake interview conducted by a fake political reporter, but the fake MSNBC gab gave the fake question to the fake candidate beforehand.
The fakery continued.
“Because your opponent almost every day seems to be talking about this, so I just want to ask you this — yes or no,” Ms. Ruhle said.
“At any point in your life, have you served two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onion —“
More cackling. Then, in unison — to the tempo of the old McDonald’s TV ad — Ms. Harris and Ms. Ruhle finished the question together in heaves of pillow-fight laughter.
“… on a sesame seed bun?”
Cackling and hyena yowls.
“I have,” Ms. Harris squealed as she tucked her chin like a joyful child. More peals of giggling and squirming in hysterics.
“But it was not a small job,” she added brightly. “I did the fries!”
Who knows what this lady is serving. Whatever it is, America has had enough.
