Listen to “The Absurd Reinvention of Kamala Harris” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they react to Kamala Harris accepting the Democratic nomination on Thursday night. They examine her promise to be a president who will always put country over party, her vow to create an economy of opportunity, and her approach to the Middle East and other national security issues.
First, they note how the Harris campaign is trying to replay the Obama strategy of staying vague on policy and denouncing the intense political rancor and division that she has been aggressively inflaming for the past eight years. The problem for Harris is that her record of far-left policies and partisan rhetoric is far more extensive than Obama’s was in 2008.
Next, they contrast Kamala’s call for an “economic opportunity” agenda with her many earlier statements about the need for equity and “equal outcomes.” They also mention her disingenuous stance on immigration and the border crisis and explain how one aspect of Thursday’s convention story is a perfect metaphor for the left’s rhetoric vs. the left’s actions.
Finally, they dig into Harris speaking on the Middle East crisis, as she delivered the most intense administration denunciation of the Hamas terrorist attacks in months – and then turned around and insisted there needs to be a Palestinian state.
