The Dems Have “Lost Hope” in Cringe-Worthy Kamala

It’s funny when The New York Times comes under fire among liberals for saying something critical about Vice President Kamala Harris. On February 6, a headline was placed on the front page. “Frustrated Harris Struggles to Define Her Role.” This somehow required three reporters — Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Katie Rogers and Peter Baker.

The section that caused all the fits was found inside the paper on page A-13. It wasn’t hostile fire from Republicans. It was internal “(T)he painful reality for Ms. Harris is that in private conversations over the past few months, dozens of Democrats in the White House, on Capitol Hill and around the nation — including some who helped put her on the party’s 2020 ticket — said she had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party, much less the country.”

Wait! The next sentence is even worse “Even some Democrats whom her own advisers referred reporters to for supportive quotes confided privately that they had lost hope in her.” Even authorized anonymous sources went rogue.

The Times noted also that Chris Whipple, an author, had recently quoted Biden calling Harris a “sinister”. “work in progress.” They also added comments from Ron Klain, chief of staff who was chief of personnel to Al Gore (and Joe Biden) He stated that vice presidents were often “take grief” But, keep going “to prove skeptics wrong.” This all recalls Dana Carvey’s impression of George H.W. Bush claimed that Dan Quayle was his vice-president. “still gaining acceptance.”

Cornell Belcher, a Democrat pollster, claimed there was an angrily in a video tweet. “implicit gender bias” The Times reported that male vice presidents have been in office for centuries but not female vice presidents. “the woman is not accorded the presumption of competence.” It’s like Belcher can’t remember Quayle. Then there’s the case of Dick Cheney, where he was presented as Darth Vader and George W. Bush suffered the presumption of incompetence.

What makes Democrats nervous is Harris’ cockeyed utterances, which can easily go viral. Harris spoke most recently. “We in government have great possibility in terms of the range at which we work as government.”

The Times has the following sentence. “You got to know what you stand for and, when you know what you stand for, you know what to fight for,” Then, you can add more. “What that translates to in tangible terms is less clear.” They noticed after they had a “disastrous” Interview with Lester Holt (NBC anchorman), she “all but went into a bunker for about a year.”

The Harris defenders complain that Biden’s age is her greatest handicap. Tara Palmeri, a former ABC White House correspondent, lamented at the website Puck. “Biden’s age is a huge liability for him, and that’s one reason why Harris is the subject of such excessive criticism. Of course, some of the antagonism is sexist and racist, the unfortunately predictable response in some corners to her historic role.”

Palmeri offered her advice that she should accompany him at more events. “The older he gets, his re-election depends on her success just as much as his. And taking her off the ticket is not an option.”

There’s not a single Republican quoted in this supposedly outrageous anti-Kamala piece. John Morgan, a Democrat said that Harris could suddenly become president. “one of the most hard-hitting arguments against Biden” 2024. That underlines how many Republicans feel a little glee at the idea of Harris remaining on this ticket as Biden’s apparent infirmities increase.
