late night Comedian Stephen Colbert Vice President Kamala Harris: “Polling shows that many people, especially independent voters, really want this election to bring about change. And in terms of how you think about change, they’re important to you. It’s fragile. You’re part of the current administration. What will be the big changes under Harris? And what will stay the same?”
Harris: “Yes. Well, I’m obviously not Joe Biden.”
Colbert: “I noticed.”
Harris: “So that would be a change. And I think it’s important to say now that we have 28 days left, I’m not Donald Trump. So if I’m elected president, When I think about the importance of what this next generation of leadership will look like, it’s, frankly, I love the American people and I believe in our country. We love that it’s in our character and nature to be ambitious people. You know, we have ambitions, we have dreams, and we have an incredible work ethic. I have.”
According to a recent survey, that’s not music at all to the ears of 79% of likely voters. Marquette University Poll I think this country is heading down the wrong path. (Related: Larry Elder: There’s a reason Kamala Harris can walk away from interviews)
When it comes to trust, voters have an advantage in Harris over former President Donald Trump. This is why the allegations about Mr. Harris’ summer job at McDonald’s are significant. She not only abandoned her previous positions on things like fracking, Medicare for All, signing a reparations bill and mandating a moratorium on sales of gasoline-powered cars by 2035, but also made herself more empathetic. , will some job be fabricated? At a hamburger shop?
Harris did not say anything about working at McDonald’s when she ran for district attorney, California attorney general, U.S. Senate, or during her last run for president. She didn’t write anything about this experience in her book (more on this later). But suddenly she remembered that she once threw french fries at McDonald’s.
But, with apologies to Wendy’s, where’s the beef? President Trump: “There’s no evidence” I wrote The New York Times accused Harris of lying. Mr. Trump directed smart photography She said her time at McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, where she cooked fries and worked at a drive-thru window, made her happy. She… made fries and talked about the heat, saying, “It was very difficult.” She has never worked at McDonald’s. ”
If President Trump said he was feeding pigeons in Central Park, the New York Times would demand evidence and send a corps of reporters to debunk his story. But when it comes to Harris’ McDonald’s story, the burden of proof shifts to Trump. Where is it? she evidence? She offers nothing more than happy memories suddenly and conveniently rediscovered. mcdonalds No confirmation was obtained: “[We] And our franchisees don’t have records for every position going back to the early ’80s…”
What’s next? Will Democrats demand that Trump be indicted for working at McDonald’s without a hairnet and pressure President Joe Biden to appoint a special counsel?
Harris describes her upbringing as “middle class.” but According to According to an article in the Daily Signal, the daughter of a father who is a tenured economics professor at Stanford University and a mother who is a biochemist, is enrolled in a program for students with “educational disadvantage, financial hardship, or disability.” I entered law school based on this. what? And in addition to compensation, does she also want student loan forgiveness? (Related: Larry Elder: Why Kamala Harris is a bleak future for the Democratic Party)
As for Mr. Harris’ book and the plagiarism accusations, The Telegraph writes: “Kamala Harris has been embroiled in a second plagiarism scandal after being accused of copying Republican Congressional testimony. The vice president last week published her book Smart on Crime: Keeping Us Safe. He was accused of quoting more than a dozen sections of “A Career Prosecutor’s Plan for a Career Prosecutor” from other sources, including a story once told by Martin Luther King Jr.
“New allegations have emerged that a former prosecutor deleted more than 1,000 words from a Republican state attorney’s testimony when he was called as a witness before Congress,” the report continued.
It’s not a great day before an election.
Which brings us back to Harris’ home state newspaper, the Los Angeles Times. The paper has endorsed every Democratic presidential candidate since 2008, but has declined to endorse her. it made No approval.
But at least the Times didn’t call her “The black face of white supremacy”
