Kamala Harris could bring in a ghostwriter and massage her ‘book’, 107 Days, but the entitled whiny tone, the perpetual sense of grievance, doesn’t take long to erupt.
After trying to both argue that Biden shouldn’t have run and that she couldn’t tell him to drop out, Kamala shifts into complaints about how she wasn’t appreciated enough. We’d heard plenty of these leaks from her people to the media over these last 4 years, but now here it is direct from her.
“When Fox News attacked me on everything from my laugh, to my tone of voice, to whom I’d dated in my 20s, or claimed I was a “DEI hire,” the White House rarely pushed back with my actual résumé: two terms elected D.A., top cop in the second-largest department of justice in the United States, senator representing one in eight Americans.”
Fact check: D.A. elected by Willie Brown, top cop who let criminals overrun California and ‘senator’ representing no one except California’s Democrat machine.
“Lorraine Voles, my chief of staff, constantly had to advocate for my role at events: “She’s not going to stand there like a potted plant. Give her two minutes of remarks. Have her introduce the president.”
Because that’s what the VP’s job is.
“They had a huge comms team; they had Karine Jean-Pierre briefing in the pressroom every day. But getting anything positive said about my work or any defense against untrue attacks was almost impossible.”
Maybe Karine Jean-Pierre was racist.
But let Kamala tell you about what a huge difference she made as VP.
“An example: In 2021, I was dispatched to the Élysée Palace to help reset our tattered relationship with France after we signed the Australia-U.K.-U.S. security pact. Australia had agreed to buy submarines from France but scrapped that contract when we and the U.K. agreed to supply Australia with nuclear subs under the new AUKUS agreement instead. This had caused tremendous friction. In our meeting, Emmanuel Macron and I warmed the chill by focusing on our many areas of cooperation, such as space exploration, climate change, transatlantic security, cybersecurity, the Sahel, and the Indo-Pacific.”
Kamala wants everyone to gush because she… paid a social call to the French president.
This really is a participation trophy.
“I said ‘the Plan’ with exaggerated emphasis and air quotes. Fox News, the New York Post, and Newsmax went wild, claiming I’d faked a French accent. This was total nonsense, but the White House seemed glad to let reporting about my “gaffe” overwhelm the significant thaw in foreign relations I’d achieved.”
Kamala acts like she opened up China instead of chatting with Macron for x number of minutes. It’s pathetic.
There’s more of the same when defending her record dealing with the mass migration crisis.
“When Republicans mischaracterized my role as “border czar,” no one in the White House comms team helped me to effectively push back and explain what I had really been tasked to do, nor to highlight any of the progress I had achieved. I won commitments of $5.2 billion in new investments by private companies for the region. I had already seen almost a billion dollars of that money deployed, thanks to enthusiastic partners such as Mastercard, Microsoft, and Nespresso.”
How can one forget Nespresso? What was the net effect of Microsoft and Mastercard on mass migration to America?
But let’s not forget the ‘numerous bilateral meetings’?
“I held numerous bilateral meetings with leaders throughout the region”.
None of it stopped the invasion. Kamala thinks this nonsense that politicians do around election time in America amounts to actual results on the ground and complains that she wasn’t given credit for all her ‘meetings’.
“No one around the president advocated, Give her something she can win with.”
Seriously. How did that line even get past editors?
This is ‘participation trophy’ entitlement taken to the next level.
Kamala takes zero responsibility for anything and instead complains that the White House didn’t make it so easy that even she couldn’t screw it up.
Give her something she can win with, indeed.
