My frequent, work-related trips down the mainstream media rabbit hole have been weirder than ever before since July 21. When Joe Biden anointed Kamala Harris as his babbling heir apparent, the Dem media lapdogs snapped out of their post-debate funk and immediately got back to being the full-time chroniclers of the doings in Bizarroworld.
Okay, they’re the creators of Bizarroworld as well.
They’ve been in full “SLAY QUEEN” mode, proclaiming Madame Veep to be an unassailable juggernaut who is running roughshod over whatever momentum Donald Trump had coming out of the Republican National Convention. It’s a story that’s playing well with the faithful, but there is precious little evidence that the Kamala show is wowing the undecided flyover country voters.
The flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been coddling Harris. As our sister site Twitchy notes, Harris has yet to face an interview. That’s right, tough girl Kamala doesn’t have the guts to field a bunch of softballs from the likes of George Stephanopoulos or even Rachel Maddow.
So brave!
Harris has also been appearing in fairly safe, mostly blue parts of the country. The Kamala Harris honeymoon momentum has been nothing more than timid, well-choreographed political theater. It’s the 2020 basement campaign but with more trips outside.
The reality-free media fan-fest is only going to get worse, as my friend Stephen Green reminded us yesterday:
But everything you’ve had to read and hear since Harris was crowned the defacto presidential nominee is mere prologue to what’s to come in August.
While the Democrats’ saccharine circus has been playing to friendly audiences, Donald Trump and JD Vance have been conducting a real presidential campaign.
As we’ve discussed before, Trump is willing to go places and do things that Republican candidates of yesteryear wouldn’t. My HotAir colleague Beege Welborn covered Trump’s latest foray outside of the traditional GOP candidate comfort zone:
So former President Trump did what only he does best today and walked into the proverbial “lion’s den” at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. It was by invitation – they also issued one to his opponent, whoever it was at the time and now isn’t – but Trump is the only one who showed up.
That in itself is hysterical. The guy, God bless him, is fearless.
Rachel Scott was “hosting,” but judging by the immediate hostile tone and rude interrogatories, she was loaded for bear and wanted to earn her bad-a** badge.
I don’t think she did, even as hard as she pushed.
Rachel Scott is the Senior Congressional Correspondent for ABC News, and yet another in a long line of mainstream media embarrassments to what used to be journalism. Her treatment of Trump was petulant and pathetic. Here was my quick response after watching Scott’s flailing “Gotcha!” attempt with Trump and his masterful response:
Trump, of course, doesn’t have the luxury of being surrounded by fawning fake journalists who blow smoke up his backside. That doesn’t mean, however, that he has to subject himself to situations like this. He could just stick to huge rallies in deep red parts of the country to soak up the adulation. He’s trying to win an election though.
He’s also exposing the leftists in the media, which is something that happens far too infrequently in the Republican Party.
Kamala is a squishy candidate.
You want to stick to debating her based on her stand on issues BUT she simply lies and claims her stance from before never happened!
She’s squished away from her fracking ban promise.
She’s squished away from her border disaster.
Has she squished away from her stand on banning guns, or not?
What she wants is to be “unburdened by what has been.”
But, lying to get into office won’t mean she’s changed and become more moderate.
It just means she’s playing anyone who buys her lies.
“what has been” is going to hang over her like a thunderhead and burden the shit out of her. When she has to debate Trump without the aid of teleprompters, she will find out what the real big-boy world is really like.
I guess it bothers ZERO Democrats that Kamala received NO delegates and only 844 votes in the 2020 primary and was chosen, according to Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden himself, because she was a “black woman”. Given the opportunity to make a name for herself as Vice President, she chose to just laugh it off. She’s also proved she cannot manage people in any way but to treat them like shit and beat them down. In other words, she proved in the primary that no one wanted her and she proved as Vice President WHY.
I love how they depict Trump, who is not afraid to face a CNN town hall or debate set up by CNN, will go into a black church, stage a rally in the Bronx or face hostile black journalists is somehow afraid of the slow-witted DEI poster child, Kamala.
