The Vice President is willing to do anything to advance her career. We all know that from her history.
And now Kamala Harris dropped one despicable word in her CNN town hall that stopped everything.
Vice President Kamala Harris, in yet another display of political opportunism, declared during a CNN town hall that she believes former President Donald Trump is a fascist.
As the country inches closer to the election, Harris appears determined to reignite divisive rhetoric, using every chance to throw extreme labels at her political opponent instead of addressing the real concerns Americans face.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper directly asked Harris if she believed Trump fit the definition of a fascist, citing previous articles quoting former chief of staff John Kelly, who made similar claims about how Trump might govern in a second term. Predictably, Harris jumped at the chance to echo the inflammatory remarks.
“You quoted General Milly calling Trump a fascist. You yourself have not used that word to describe him. Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” Cooper pressed.
“Yes, I do,” Harris responded without hesitation. “And I also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted.”
Harris was quick to seize on the media’s latest hit pieces. Both The New York Times and The Atlantic recently published stories where Kelly accused Trump of wanting to rule like a fascist and reportedly admired Adolf Hitler.
Of course, the Trump campaign immediately denied these baseless claims.
In fact, the credibility of The Atlantic story is already unraveling. Beyond Kelly’s controversial remarks, the piece also alleged that Trump disparaged a deceased veteran and her family, claims that have been publicly refuted by the veteran’s family, their lawyer, and several former Trump officials.
“After having dealt with hundreds of reporters in my legal career, this is unfortunately the first time I have to go on record and call out Jeffrey Goldberg@The Atlantic: not only did he misrepresent our conversation but he outright LIED in HIS sensational story,” tweeted the family’s lawyer, Natalie Khawam.
But Harris, always eager to make headlines, wasted no time giving a televised address from her residence to capitalize on these questionable stories.
“All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is,” she claimed, leaning into her narrative. “This is a window into who Donald Trump really is, from the people who know him best.”
Harris even cited Kelly’s words, stating that Trump “certainly falls into the general definition of fascist” and absurdly claimed that Trump had vowed to be a dictator on day one.
Harris, of course, had no trouble distorting events to fit her narrative, ignoring all contrary evidence and the fact that these accusations come just weeks before an election.
As if on cue, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre chimed in to support Harris, saying that President Joe Biden also believes Trump is a fascist.
“You have heard from this president over and over again about the threats to democracy,” Jean-Pierre said, parroting the administration’s usual talking points.
What’s truly alarming is not Trump’s supposed “fascism,” but the way Harris and the Biden administration are using such exaggerated claims to distract from their own failures.
Instead of addressing rising inflation, growing crime, and international instability, Harris is more focused on demonizing her political opponent—just as she has done throughout her tenure.
