Yesterday, Scientific American said Kamala Harris will bring a 'lifelong familiarity' with science to the White House. Why? Because her dad was a cancer researcher.

This is an idiotic premise, that makes about as much sense as saying this writer will balance the budget because her dad was an accountant.

The Economist -- not to be outdone -- says Kamala's rambling statements are actually because of her father, too.

No, seriously:

They write:

In a video clip that has gone viral recently, Kamala Harris quotes her mother asking her whether she thought she had just fallen out of a coconut tree. The probable Democratic nominee for president breaks into a laugh at the turn of phrase before explaining, somewhat philosophically, the message of the story: “you exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.” For Ms Harris some of that context is esoteric economic theory. Her father, Donald, is an 85-year-old, Jamaican-born economist, formerly a professor at Stanford University.

Refreshing for them to acknowledge her father was also a Marxist, cause the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

But it's also interesting that 1) they'd attribute Kamala's inability to speak publicly to her father and 2) think this would excuse the rambling word salads she's been recorded spouting.

She doesn't come off as 'esoteric', she comes off as a middle schooler who -- when called to give an oral book report to the class -- didn't finish the assigned reading.

Not surprising, considering her history.

Back in 2021 (and we wonder how soon these articles will get scrubbed), staffers told The Washington Post:

So to see the media now run cover for Harris is a sight to behold.

Not surprising at all.

It's why they cover for Kamala, too.

Agreed.

Speaks volumes, no?

They don't need evidence. This is about spinning for Kamala, nothing more.

They know most people won't read past the headline.

And there's zero reason to believe she's significantly different from them, policy-wise.
