How quickly we went from “joy” and “vibes” to angry and desperate. Also dangerous.
Kamala Harris on Wednesday delivered remarks outside the vice president’s formal residence in Washington, and it was nothing short of appalling. Using an immediately discredited and very obviously campaign-coordinated article in The Atlantic from the previous day, plus a New York Times interview from a disgruntled former Trump administration official, she stated in her official capacity that her opponent is “increasingly unhinged and unstable.” She promised that in a second Trump term, he would be a president of “unchecked power,” adding that his behavior has shown him to be “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous.”
Kamala stopped just short of officially declaring Trump an enemy of the state, though at the rate she and her allies in the national media are accelerating, it will be no surprise when she does. The entire shocking display was like watching a gambling addict down $25,000 in a single night and on his last chip, only to lose again. She has not a cent left to her name, and rent is due tomorrow.
It’s clear what Kamala’s campaign tried to do. It conspired with The New York Times and The Atlantic to simultaneously publish stories of microwaved lines — that Trump is Hitler, that he aspires to authoritarian heights of power, and that he harbors nothing but “disdain” for the U.S. military and the unfortunate. CNN ran coverage of the two articles all morning, and with the media happy to comply for the sake of helping Kamala, the White House announced that the vice president would be delivering prepared remarks that afternoon.
She spoke for three minutes, citing Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, who told the Times everything Kamala’s campaign needed him to say — that Trump is Hitler, that he aspires to authoritarian heights of power, and that he harbors nothing but “disdain” for the U.S. military and the unfortunate. Then she retreated indoors without taking questions.
As a reminder, Kelly has the distinction of serving the longest of any of Trump’s chiefs of staff, and we are to believe that he lacked the decency and honor to alert the American people to the president heaping praise on Hitler when he was in a position to truly do something about it. But now, four years later, we’re expected to take him seriously.
It’s incredibly tiresome, but what do they have left now that Trump is not in jail and still alive? A normal person would say, “Well, they could win the election,” but these aren’t normal people. They know they’re on track to lose, and they don’t believe in elections anyway.
This is a dark campaign. It’s a desperate campaign. They’re willing to try anything, as we’ve seen. Kamala looked silly but she’s serious. And at this stage, she’s dangerous.
