Tim Graham: Democrats “Lost Hope” in Kamala Harris

It’s hilarious when liberals criticize The New York Times for saying something about Vice President Kamala Hariri. The headline of a front-page story published Feb. 6 was “Frustrated Harris Struggles to Define Her Role.” This somehow required three reporters — Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Katie Rogers and Peter Baker.

The paper’s page A-13 contained the passage that triggered all the fits. It was not 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, there’s more! “Even some Democrats whom her own advisers referred reporters to for supportive quotes confided privately that they had lost hope in her.” Even anonymous sources were authorized to go rogue.

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

Cornell Belcher, a Democrat pollster, argued that there was an “an” in the video. “implicit gender bias” The Times reported that male vice presidents are not able to be elected for centuries. “the woman is not accorded the presumption of competence.” It’s almost as if Belcher doesn’t know Quayle. There’s also the Dick Cheney case, in which he was presented to Darth Vader and George W. Bush was presumptuous of incompetence.

Harris’s cockeyed utterances can quickly go viral and make Democrats nervous. She said that Harris’ cockeyed utterances were most recent. “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,” Additions are made. “What that translates to in tangible terms is less clear.” They noticed after they had a “disastrous” Interview in 2021 with Lester Holt, NBC anchorman “all but went into a bunker for about a year.”

Harris supporters complain that Biden is too old to be a good journalist. Tara Palmeri, an ex-ABC White House correspondent, complained at 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 then added her own advice and suggested that she should be at his side at many 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.”

This allegedly outrageous anti-Kamala piece doesn’t contain a single Republican. John Morgan, a Democrat said that Harris could suddenly become president. “one of the most hard-hitting arguments against Biden” In 2024. This demonstrates how many Republicans feel a lot of joy at Harris’s decision to remain on the ticket as Biden’s apparent infirmities grow.
