The Harris campaign has been dealing with its fair share of problems. But now, this newest loss could hit them where it hurts.
Because the Harris campaign has been slapped with a major lawsuit that will disrupt their whole plan.
In the latest chapter of Kamala Harris’ relentless smear campaign, she and her team have resorted to peddling outright lies to defame her political opponents. This time, her target is Tim Pool, a popular podcaster and independent journalist known for his fair, balanced, and often critical commentary.
Pool has announced his intention to pursue legal action against Harris’ presidential campaign after an egregious, defamatory statement was posted by her campaign’s official account on X (formerly Twitter). The post accused Pool of advocating for the death penalty against Democrats, a claim that is not only baseless but shockingly out of context.

Harris’ campaign, through its Kamala HQ account, posted a clip of Pool, claiming that he supported the idea of executing those who oppose Donald Trump should he secure a second term in office. The post read, “Trump operatives say their Project 2025 plan is to give Trump total, unchecked legal power so they can jail and execute those who don’t support Trump if he wins,” followed by the false accusation that Pool had scrubbed the video from YouTube to hide his supposed endorsement of such draconian measures.
This reckless and inflammatory rhetoric is nothing new for Kamala Harris, whose campaign strategy appears to rely heavily on defamation and misinformation. Instead of engaging in substantive debate or offering solutions to the many crises facing America, Harris has chosen to lash out at her opponents with falsehoods, attempting to paint them as dangerous extremists.
This tactic not only undermines the democratic process but also poses a serious threat to the integrity of public discourse.
Tim Pool, who has built a reputation for his strong stance on issues like free speech and government overreach, was quick to respond to Harris’ baseless allegations. On his morning broadcast, Pool systematically dismantled the claims made by Harris’ campaign, highlighting the absurdity and danger of such unfounded accusations.
He made it clear that he is not affiliated with Project 2025, nor has he ever supported the death penalty in any form.
“I feel that the lies from the Kamala campaign have become so shockingly, shockingly egregious, they strike at the conscience of any good, rational American,” Pool said, as he detailed his decision to pursue legal action. He went on to express his disbelief at being accused of calling for “unchecked legal power” to jail and execute political opponents, labeling the claim as “outright psychotic.”
Pool, who has consistently argued against the death penalty throughout his career, emphasized that the clip in question was actually him opposing the idea of capital punishment.
The video was removed from YouTube not to hide any nefarious intent, as Harris’ campaign implied, but because Pool does not advocate for or condone such extreme measures.
“My intention is to immediately file a lawsuit and approach every legally correct avenue to do that,” Pool declared, underscoring the seriousness of his response to Harris’ defamatory statement. “I fully intend to see it taken to this degree.”
This latest episode is part of a troubling pattern of behavior from Kamala Harris and her campaign. Rather than focusing on the issues that matter most to Americans—such as the economy, crime, and national security—Harris has chosen to wage a campaign of fearmongering and character assassination. Her tactics reveal a disturbing lack of substance and a willingness to say anything, no matter how false or harmful, to gain political advantage.
Harris has repeatedly misrepresented her opponents’ positions, spreading misinformation to stoke fear and division. She has falsely claimed that Donald Trump wants to ban IVF, a procedure that has brought joy to countless families.
She has lied about his stance on the military, falsely insinuating that he disrespects our troops, despite his longstanding support for the armed forces. Harris has also attacked Trump’s recent attendance at a memorial service for soldiers, twisting the truth to fit her narrative.
But perhaps most disturbing is her repeated use of debunked lies to malign conservatives and Trump supporters. Harris has referred to prominent conservative figures like Charlie Kirk as “MAGA operatives,” using the term as a smear rather than engaging with the legitimate concerns these individuals raise.
Kirk, who has also been a victim of Harris’ defamation tactics, praised Pool’s decision to take legal action, stating, “This account is getting out of control. So much is verifiably inaccurate, there must be accountability.”
The implications of Kamala Harris’ reckless rhetoric extend far beyond the individuals she targets. By spreading such blatant misinformation, Harris is contributing to an already toxic political climate, where facts are ignored, and lies are used as weapons. This is not just a political strategy—it’s a dangerous game that threatens to undermine the very foundations of our democracy.
Harris’ willingness to defame and mislead in order to advance her political career sets a dangerous precedent. It suggests that truth and integrity no longer matter in American politics, that the ends justify the means, no matter how dishonest or destructive those means may be.
This is a chilling thought, especially when coming from someone who seeks the highest office in the land.
Moreover, Harris’ behavior raises serious questions about her ability to lead. A leader who resorts to lies and defamation to win an election is a leader who cannot be trusted to govern with integrity. If this is how Harris conducts her campaign, how can the American people have any confidence in her ability to govern fairly and honestly?
Kamala Harris’ campaign strategy of defamation and misinformation is not just a reflection of her own character—it is a threat to the democratic process itself. By spreading falsehoods and smearing her opponents, Harris is not only undermining public trust but also sowing division and discord at a time when America desperately needs unity.
Tim Pool’s decision to take legal action against Harris is a necessary step in holding her accountable for her reckless and dishonest behavior. It is a reminder that in a democracy, truth matters, and those who seek to manipulate and deceive the public must be held to account.
