It’s official.
Democrats and their media allies got what they wanted: Joe Biden essentially being forced to withdraw from the presidential race with a new presumptive nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, in his place.
These same people, who for nearly four years lectured the American people on the need to “respect the democratic process” or whatever just installed a new nominee in one of the most undemocratic ways possible five months after Biden secured the nomination through the traditional primary process where actual voters decide who the nominee will be.
That is something to keep in mind next time a Democrat talks about how vital it is that we respect the results of our elections.
Something else to keep in mind as we move into the fall campaign season is how many of Kamala Harris’ biggest defenders now were telling us just six weeks ago that Joe Biden was fine, that videos of him having to be led by the hand off stage by former President Barack Obama during a glitzy Hollywood fundraiser were “cheap fakes” designed to make Biden look older and frailer than he actually is.
For instance, actor George Clooney, whose New York Times op-ed bizarrely represented one of the turning points for Democrats on the issue of whether Biden should withdraw from the presidential race, initially kept his mouth shut after that infamous Los Angeles fundraiser he co-hosted even though the videos clearly showed Biden lost and out of it, looking wooden and having to be led off-stage by Obama.
Clooney, who has now endorsed Harris, was willing to participate in the elaborate cover-up effort even though he knew Biden was unfit for a second term, yet he’s now telling us that Kamala Harris is the person to lead America for the next four years.
It was only when Biden “outed” himself to the nation during his disastrous debate performance that Clooney tried to come clean by saying, “Hey, the Biden we saw on the debate stage was the same Biden we saw at that fundraiser, and we need that guy to step aside.’”
Astonishingly, Clooney stated in his endorsement of Harris that Biden had “saved democracy once again” by exiting the race … but only after just about every Democrat who had gaslit the American people about Biden’s condition put pressure on him to drop out of the nomination he’d already secured.
The same people now saying Harris has what it takes to be president are also trying to erase her history of failures as vice president, most notably on her handling of the border crisis.
Biden made Harris his point person on the southern border crisis in March 2021 in a position dubbed by many in the media at the time as “border czar.” But now that Republicans have ramped up their attacks on her record as border czar, some media outlets are claiming she was never the border czar, including Axios, which actually described her as the border czar in reporting they did on her responsibilities at the time.
An editor’s note they added to a July article on the issue told the story:
“This article has been updated and clarified to note that Axios was among the news outlets that incorrectly labeled Harris a ‘border czar’ in 2021.”
It’s fascinating when you think about it. The same folks/outlets trying to make the case that Harris has what it takes to be the leader of the free world are now basically saying she had no real responsibilities as vice president.
The media, Hollywood leftists and Big Tech are all telling us who they really are again. And we should believe them and respond accordingly in the way that hurts them the most: at the ballot box.
