As I’ve written on more than one occasion, I don’t believe that Kamala Harris is any more autonomous in her current role than her boss is in the Oval Office. The Democratic National Committee knows that too much is at stake to let the Queen of Babble make decisions on her own. I’ve felt that since I saw that her list of potential running mates looked like a whites-only enlarged prostate support group.
Heading into last weekend the heavy money was on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro getting the nod from the DNC to be Harris’s running mate. I was always skeptical of that, given the current state of the Democratic Party. It seemed a bit of a stretch that the virulently antisemitic Democrats of 2024 would pick a Jewish man to be on the ticket. Seriously, Shapiro is lucky that the Dems didn’t call in some of the Squad’s brownshirts to give him a wrist tattoo and striped pajamas.
I call ’em like I see ’em.
The DNC doesn’t let its lapdogs in the mainstream media know anything until they’re needed, so they were in the dark about who Harris would pick. They’ve been leaning toward Shapiro as well but spent a lot of time discussing Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as the most probable second choice That would have created the most anti-Second Amendment ticket in history.
Instead, the Dems have opted for the most socialist ticket in history.
Socialist, communist; to-MAY-to, to-MAH-to.
Victoria knocked it out of the park with the intro to her post about Harris’s choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate:
All you need to know about Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s pick for the Democrats’ vice presidential candidate, is what happened during the so-called “Summer of Love” George Floyd riots. He let Minneapolis burn while she bailed out the arsonists. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
With this radical pick, Democrats have gone full Antifa.
The Democrats were obviously looking for someone to babysit the public train wreck that is Kamala Harris. They didn’t care about much else.
A couple of weeks ago at our sister site HotAir, my friend and colleague Ed Morrissey wrote that the anointment of Harris as their nominee completed the “divorce” between the Democratic Party and the working class they used to claim to champion.
Choosing Walz as a running mate is the Dems giving a big middle finger to flyover country and any centrist, undecided voters who may be there.
Minnesota isn’t just blue; it routinely elects pro-terrorism lefties like Keith Ellison and Ilhan Omar. They’re already trying to paint Walz as some sort of salt-of-the-earth Midwestern flannel bro. He’s from the state that birthed the “defund the police” insanity. As Rick wrote, Walz’s role in the George Floyd Summer of Love and Mostly Peaceful Riots and Looting makes him unfit for the Veep role. It also makes him unfit to be Minnesota’s governor but, once again, the state is plagued by an idiotic electorate.
This “off the commie cliff” ticket that the Democrats are going with is a gift to the Trump-Vance campaign as it pursues voters who are regular folks who live outside of the coastal proggie bubbles. The Dems have decided to fly their commie freak flag at the top of the presidential ticket. Walz, after all, is the guy who said that socialism is just “neighborliness.”
Maybe if your neighbors have a massive body count.
Once again, Trump’s campaign ads are practically writing themselves. My Townhall colleague Mia Cathell posted a list of some of the insane things that Walz has said and done.
The gift horse is here; let’s hope the GOP isn’t overcome by the urge to peek in its mouth.
Democrats don’t hide the fact that they continue to swerve to the far left very well. The best they can do is just have a few of their Ministry of Propaganda mouthpieces proclaim one or the other… or both are now “moderates”. In reality, they are far left socialists that only care about absolute power and oppressing anyone that will not fully submit to the leftist ideal.
