An interview it was not.
Kamala Harris shopped for months for a “moderator” that would make her look and sound competent and capable in an interview, and eventually she found what she was looking for. However, even though CNN’s Dana Bash did her best imitation of a real journalist conducting a hard-hitting interview, Kamala Harris failed.
Unsurprisingly, Bash got no coherent answers from Harris who has had weeks to prepare for this event, so Bash retreated to fluff questions: about the phone call from Biden telling her he was ending his campaign! Boring, irrelevant pancake talk and with her teary-eyed claim about just caring for Joe first, probably untrue.
Then there was the clip about Tim Walz’s son crying at the DNC. CNN ran the tears-for-dad shot, but failed to include the clip of Walz angrily yanking the poor young man’s hand as his family joined together on the DNC stage.
Then there was the equally boring clip about the allegedly viral, “iconic” photo of Harris’ grandniece watching Kamala’s speech.
In short, the interview was a colossal waste of time.
Harris is absolutely incapable of answering simple questions. She gives new meaning to Gertrude Stein’s little platitude, “there is no there there.” Ironically, Stein said that about Kamala’s stated hometown, Oakland, California.
The CNN sit-down was supposed to be our introduction to her specific agenda, a clarification of her policies – on energy, immigration, the economy, transgenderism, etc.
Kamala’s amorphous views on each of these issues has long been clear since her 2019 failed campaign for the presidency. No fracking, no gas-powered cars, a completely open border, defund the police, dissolve ICE, transgenderism is great, etc. Her stated agenda then was the total destruction of America as founded. Tonight she said her “values have not changed.” On the other hand, she admitted, probably falsely, that she now supports fracking, gas-powered cars, a border wall, etc. The woman has no idea what she thinks, supports or opposes beyond what she thinks people want to hear. She has no core values and does not even know that she has no core values. She well and truly is an empty pantsuit, a woman without any knowledge of the issues she pretends to grasp, a woman who mistakenly thinks she is so smart, she can bamboozle the American people into voting for a cipher.
