With one week to go until Election Day, Kamala Harris is still trying to figure out what she’s doing. She wants you to think she’s the brat, “joyful,” cool aunt. But she also wants to convince you that her opponent is literally Hitler and the stakes have never been more dire — that democracy is at risk of dying in darkness and she’s the only one who can save it. Those Republicans are horrible fascist sympathizers, but you know what, she’s willing to work with them.
It makes about as much sense as anything she’s ever said.
In a speech to Washington, D.C. bureaucrat types on Tuesday night, Harris tried to walk back the nagging, negative, “Trump is Hitler” rhetoric she’s been drumming all week. Coincidentally, this shift came two days after a pro-Harris super PAC took to the pages of The New York Times to flash the warning light at the campaign: Screaming that Trump is a fascist “Is Not That Persuasive.”
“America, for too long we have been consumed with too much division, chaos, and mutual distrust,” she cooed on Tuesday night. “We have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms.”
Rich stuff from the lady who called an emergency press conference from the vice president’s official residence to compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and label him as “incredibly dangerous” — and whose running mate compared Republicans to Nazis because Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden.
