When you look at the Senate Democrats who have announced their presidential campaigns so far, you notice that each one has a theme. For example, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has made her career about reform of the financial industry. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., has made hers about preventing workplace sexual harassment. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who has all but announced his candidacy with his tour of Iowa, has made his campaign about what Democrats still have to offer the working class.
But what about Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who announced her candidacy on Monday?
Look only at her two years in the Senate and two relevant data points pop up. First, there’s her recent attempt, along with Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, to apply an anti-Catholic religious test to a judicial nominee because he belonged to the Knights of Columbus. This was too much even for her fellow Democrats to bear — not a single one objected to a resolution that implicitly rebuked Harris and Hirono for their behavior.
The second relevant point is Harris’ conduct during the Justice Brett Kavanaugh hearings. No, not the contentious second round of Kavanaugh hearings involving sexual misconduct allegations, but the relatively placid first round in early September. During that process, Harris insinuated, through a line of questioning, that Kavanaugh had held a highly improper conversation about the Russia investigation with someone at the law firm President Trump had hired. After casting this slanderous aspersion, Harris then knowingly lied to journalists in order to prejudice public opinion against Kavanaugh's nomination. She falsely assured reporters that she had "good reason" and "reliable" evidence that Kavanaugh had indeed discussed the Russia investigation with lawyers at Trump's firm.
Then, as it turned out, she didn't have any evidence at all. She had been bluffing, the way unethical prosecutors do when trying to get people to plead guilty to offenses they didn't commit. But this wasn’t some police interrogation room — it was a Senate committee hearing.

She had an affair with a married man. She was 29 and he was 60. Any woman who cheats which a married man is also part of the abuse of the wife. Truth.
ReplyDeleteAll the Democrats are flip flopping. They want us to think they have changed. LOL. They have a change of heart because they are attempting to hide their real conniving ways. Look at this last election they said they would not do this and do that. That get elected and begin immediately doing what they said they would not do. Democrats are a bunch of lying bullying socialist anarchist.
ReplyDelete1:40 - let's hope her past is dragged out for all to see...during the campaigning - but after she wins a few primary states....
ReplyDeleteDave T: If you are dumb enough to elect is dork, then you deserve to suffer from the results of an incompetent leader. She is utterly worthless! She can't function as a senator how could she be qualified to be president?
ReplyDeleteThis one slept her way to the top w/Jerry Brown when he was governor of CA the first time. A POS no matter how you look at her!
ReplyDeleteHarris should save herself the trouble and her party the cash and just bow out now. Nobody with half a brain wants any of what she offers.
ReplyDeleteActually, this glut of dem candidates is a blessing. They will burn through a lot of money in the primaries-- the party is already in debt.
ReplyDeleteThe entire dumbocrat party has turned into band of idiots and fools

ReplyDeletePut the entire lot in a monthly cage match with one candidate eliminated each month. May have to go to twice a month as election nears due to surplus candidates. Only those announced by April 1, 2019 eligible.
