This weekend, Kamala Harris took in some Broadway.
And she reminded America that we truly dodged a bullet by not electing her.
She and her husband Doug Emhoff met with the cast of “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical,” and she gave a pep talk that was in the style made famous by Damon Wayans’ “In Living Color” character Oswald Bates — a jailbird who delivers soliloquys which are merely a string of big words that amount to a whole lotta nonsense.
In the video, she was stumbling and bumbling through yet another word salad filled with meaningless platitudes.
“When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also let’s see it, you know, nature abhors a vacuum,” she told the performers.
“Where there’s a vacancy, let’s fill it. Let us know that the reality is that the progress of our nation has been about the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights.”
Huh?
As she spoke in K turns, her disheveled hair fell into her face. And with every inane declaration, her eyes bulged like ET and her chin receded into her head. It’s the face one makes when they’ve been studying the complete works of Kendall Jackson.
“We have to be clear-eyed. And it doesn’t mean we don’t see the beauty in everything. These things all co-exist, but I believe we fight for something, not against something,” she continued.
And to think, in an alternative brat universe, this would be our president.
The timing was poignant because only days earlier, our Vice President JD Vance was in Munich, delivering an important, bold and substantive speech about the perils of creeping censorship — and unchecked mass migration.
Vance was doing some much needed heavy lifting, especially after “60 Minutes” unwittingly underscored his point. Last night it aired a segment on Germany’s approach to combating online “hate speech” which included an early morning raid of a man’s apartment by six cops. His crime was posting something online.
It was chilling to see the three prosecutors positively giddy about taking away citizens’ phones like overzealous hall moniters bent on infantilizing and stifling an entire society.
Though VP, Vance is tackling, head on, the defining issues of our time — the inconvenient truths that threaten Western Civilization and the European democracies.
And while I watched him make waves with this historic and hefty speech, my mind floated to Harris. She had been on the national stage for close to a decade and I still know very little about her ideological positions. The only clarity she provided were far left ideas during ‘the great awokening’.
Then her movement to the center during the election was relayed by her spokespeople and never challenged by the media. With the exception of Brett Baier, she was never pushed to explain herself. Even
“60 Minutes” had to heavily edit her interivew to create semi coherent answers.
The lone useless sentiment she can regularly communicate is that she firmly believes Americans have hopes and dreams. They have aspirations.
And then she appears at the show, sure it was in a casual context, but what I believe to be her default setting — it only affirmed that our country made the right decision.
And the contrast between her and Vance — and yes Trump — couldn’t be more striking. Her intellectual offerings are far more feeble in comparison.
Not only was Harris not right for this moment in time, she is simply not good at this. She was out of her depth in so many ways.
She did, however, warn she would not “go quietly into the night” after losing in November.
But if the Dems don’t have the good sense to “unburden” themselves “by what has been” and drop her, they won’t win anytime soon. And they don’t deserve to either.
