Echoes of Evasion: Dissecting Kamala Harris’s Televised Pretense

Like most Americans, I’m a romantic. I look optimistically at situations, and I expect the best to emerge. Despite the reality of our political situation, I applied that romantic ideal to last night’s remarkably vacuous, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz interview.

Here we had two women, CNN’s Dana Bash, and Kamala Harris, the current vice president and Democratic nominee for the presidency. I had noted on my Twitter/X account that Bash had a remarkable opportunity to prove the naysayers wrong by delivering an important and valuable interview of a woman who is clearly attempting to fake her way through an election.

Instead, Bash chose to be a helpmate, a facilitator of Harris’s pretense with leading questions, and a soft manner that no doubt allowed Harris and her comfort blanket running mate Governor Tim Walz unwarranted confidence in their cynical kabuki theater presentation.

Ironically, supporters of Harris, which are really supporters of a nameless and faceless bureaucratic system, would help her more by demanding that she adopt more respect for the American people and this process. That would require honesty and clarity but that is a bridge too far when the point itself is to obscure and manipulate.

Like an undergraduate who never studies and has skated along by using their superficial charm and excuses, Harris sounded like someone who was trying to fill the air with the required number of words expected on her essay. For the last 3 1/2 years she has faked it by hoping noise (often disguised as laughter) would be mistaken for deep thoughts and policy. Harris and her cronies are displaying not just a contempt for the American people, but a loathing for the inspired design by the Founders of our constitutional republic.

Some were left with the impression that we learned nothing about Kamala Harris during the interview. That’s because it wasn’t really an interview, it was a lullaby meant to put everyone to sleep. But I contend the embarrassing display revealed to everyone what Harris believes: That the American people are drooling idiots for whom the ruling class should have contempt and unrestrained control; that she has no duty to persuade the voters on the issues because only she and her friends know best. Keeping us in the dark is now the only path forward for a Democratic Party that is all in centralized planning and extremist controls. For them, our constitutional republic is an old irritant to be swatted away with word salads and laughter. And don’t forget, joy!

For decades, Kamala Harris has not been a shy woman. She was perfectly fine publicly stating loudly and clearly her desire to ban fracking, with not a beat, not a breath before making that declaration multiple times. Her statement on national television with Stephen Colbert that the 2020 riots were never going to stop and “shouldn’t stop” was done with giddy excitement. She had an actual event to announce her grocery price control scheme. In the CNN interview, trying to explain flip-flops she talked about her “values.” That was simply a wink to her left flank assuring them that her words might be different, but her intentions are the same.


When someone is lying to us, even by omission, our instinct alerts us to a serious concern. Every human being has an opinion about things that involve them. You must navigate the world and your life. You don’t need to go to a seminar at college to know what you believe in. So, when you see someone who wants you to hire them to be the leader of the free world and all their effort is spent on keeping you in the dark about what their policy is and what they believe, that tells you every single thing you need to know about them.

It would be bad enough if Harris was a completely empty vessel, but she’s not and that is what should concern every American. She has been open and clear about her distain for federal law enforcement, our national security by facilitating a chaotic and dismantled southern border, the encouragement of urban violence, and her open support of efforts to shield rioters and other criminals from accountability while keeping them on the street.

Harris reassured viewers that her “values” have not changed. Believe her, and then we must ask but what sort of value creates an economy that is destroying people’s lives? What value is it when crime makes it impossible to feel safe in your own home? What warped value makes it possible for wars to unfold around the world? The suffering, human trafficking, and drug smuggling made possible by unmitigated illegal immigration springs from what “value?” All these disturbed and destructive things have grown in the petri dish of Kamala Harris’s Values.

The vice president is vague and vacuous on purpose. Why? Because she remains betrothed to the policies that she knows will continue to do damage to this country. She works hard to say nothing and as many words as possible because she knows we do not want what she wants. We continue to mourn what we believed our lives could be before they were smashed by Biden, Harris, and that faceless bureaucratic mob embracing her as the willing and useful idiot that she is.

We are little over a week from the start of early voting. The Dana Bash/Kamala Harris lullaby was meant to satisfy a requirement without really exposing the Democrats’ true agenda. That interview was meant to reinforce and introduce Harris as the new Mary Poppins, but this is a Mary whose attitude, ideology, and plans will not restore and uplift families, but destroy them.

There is only one superhero in this story and it’s the American people. Donald Trump and his team will do as much as they possibly can to not just expose the fraud of Kamala Harris, but to remind the American people that he can and will introduce policies that will reverse this ignominious and vicious decline of our nation. But it’s what we do with that information that is important, meaning that we will not allow the gaslighting, lies, and manipulations of the establishment to push us off our righteous path.

Kamala is now all for Fracking, but also states that she hasn’t changed any of her core beliefs, which for the past 4+ years has been to ban all Fracking and fossil fuels.
Anyone believing anything out of this ladies mouth is an idiot.

I already know who I am voting for and it is not the Commie-crat . I already know where she stands on issues I care about ‘and I grow tired of being gaslighted. She can say she is gonna do this and do that, but the minute she gets elected (like Biden) she’ll continue to destroy the country just as she is doing now.

I didn’t watch the interview at all. Clearly didn’t miss much. When she claims she no longer supports fracking, no longer supports defunding the police, and no longer supports Medicare for all. IDON’T BELIEVE HER! when she claims she supports the border wall, I DON’T BELIEVE HER! when she claims, she doesn’t support raising taxes on the middle class, I DON’T BELIEVE HER! All of the things she claims she will do on day one of her presidency are things she has had THREE AND A HALF YEARS TO DO as part of the Biden-Harris administration. Also, when it comes to the Trump tax cuts: her claims that she doesn’t support raising taxes on the middle-class ring hollow because if she lets the Trump tax cuts expire, higher taxes on the middle class are exactly what will happen.

No doubt THE most dangerous woman on the planet today- not because of what she stands for, but rather the “manipulators” who stand behind her. Absolutely no doubt that Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes. Jesus said in the last days “the love of MOST will grow cold.” I know it refers to our love for Him- I can’t help but wonder if it might not mean our country as well. We used to be a service oriented society- now, all we care about is ourselves- exactly what the Democrats are playing to!

While watching parts of the interview, I was trying to assess body language rather than words. Kamala seemed small, timid, and uncertain much of the time, which leads me to believe she was lying. Even if prepared in advance, she showed none of the exuberance she’s had at rallies. Trying to appear presidential did not work for her.

As usual as stated by other commentors, everything dealing with the H-W team will be scripted to make them look “GOOD” to the ignorant while the more sensible people won’t fall for their rhetoric. The H-W signs are now appearing in the “DIE HARD” Demos yards but not everywhere although the campaigning is still young. With the way of the economy and failed foreign policy has been, one really has to wonder why the “DIE HARD”s think the way they do. Mind boggling.

As always, a very meaningful and thought-provoking article by Tammy Bruce. I would do an injustice by adding anything to it. All I will say, Tammy, you’ve hit the nail, or I should say, the Kackler, right on the head.

The liberal supporters are not going to ask Kackles any questions pertenent to current events because Kammie is literally stupid. She flat does not have any answers because Obama has not told her what to say yet. The debates should be very interesting. I’m guessing they will be akin to the Biden/Trump debates.

We all knew the CNN interview would be a kumbaya event for comrade Kamala and tampon Tim. Pray that DJT takes advantage of the few opportunities he will have to expose Commie-la for what she really is during the debate. It may very likely be the only debate between the two.

Of course Communist News Network (cnn) only Airs 14 minutes of 41 minute interview because they don’t want Americans to see the TRUTH.
Under Communist harris the Elderly and Disabled will be left to survive on 10 Dollars a month just like those in Communist Cuba. Even those on Low Incomes won’t be able to survive. Americans jobs are being replaced by their Illegal Alien Terrorist Invasion for Illegal votes. They are even giving their Illegal Aliens mortgages now with Zero Interest. Those with a good income will be supporting their Illegal Alien Terrorist Invasion while Americans STARVE and unable to pay their bills. Prices on everything will more than quadruple as they have for the over past 3 and half years. Products keep getting smaller and smaller while prices continue getting higher and higher. They are killing our Food Supply. And you can forget about Energy Independence and crime dropping or our Borders secured. Our military has been gutted and will be worse being turned into more of the Pink Brigade. She supports Defunding the Police and wants to abolish prisons. How Safe do you think you and your children will be? The education system continues to drop like a rock. The list is long. Remember, Communist harris flip-flops on everything for votes and never tells the TRUTH.
Communist harris avoids the media constantly and has to have breaks every 5 minutes just like Dictator Beijing biden takes vacations every weekend and Hides. She is NOT even qualified to deal with Foreign leaders and will bow down and appease them including her buddies in Communist China and Iran. You can count on her getting us into full fledged WWIII since we already are there. They have done nothing about Communist China killing Americans from their Fentanyl and their Communist China Police Stations here (INVASION).
That alone should scare the hell out of every American.
On top of all that she has the lowest approval rating in U.S. history as a vp. So when the Fake News says she’s tied or ahead of President Trump, we ALL know that’s a LIE.

Is anyone really surprised CNN wouldn’t trip her up? And derail another messiah? Ha! “Loud & Proud” doesn’t get you the independent vote. Do any of these ppl even know about this thing called the “worldwide global network” aka the internet? If they did, they could HEAR her beliefs and policies (as well as ‘Stormin’ Norman’ Walz’ past “grammatical mistakes”) on this thing called “YouTube”. But apparently, no one knows they’re constantly recorded! If Kamala had an once of lady balls she’d go on Brett Beirs show or Fox News Sunday w. Shannon Breem. “That will be the day!”

Follow up question: So What are your values. Please explain the top 3 and give details as to how you arrived at these beliefs. (Far as I can see, she has few values, but lots of Leftist beliefs the is now trying to obscure.)

Harris & her economic advisors must realize the impact on inflation from Biden’s WAR ON FOSSIL FUELS Gas & diesel prices are the leading costs of inflation in everything that the USA consumes and produces. The Green Deal will not work if it forces people to freeze in the dark. Hope that this topic is a major question at Sept 10 debate.

Kamala is a typical Leftist: she has spent her entire life lying – about everything.  And that lying has helped advance her career and enlarge her bank account. So, since she has not only not been held accountable for her lying, but has been handsomely rewarded for it, why would she start telling the truth now?

Tammy, you expressed my thoughts and opinion of Harris to a tee. Thank you. Maybe I can persuade some of my liberal friends to see her for what she really is. A communist through and through. A follower of the elites. Without a plan or vision for America herself. Pull the strings O she’ll obey.

Well we could see this coming she will do anything to get elected even though she will never do it if she was to become president. She will even go with what President Trump would do like on the illegals to stop them she will never do it.The large mega packs that are backing her with millions of dollars they do not want change in this country they know Harris will never change nothing in this country but the are afraid of President Trump they hate him because the know he is for the people of this country.

When I see & hear the utter imbeciles at her speeches wildly cheering any BS that drips out of her mouth, my heart sinks a little at the reality that those are American adults mindlessly supporting a Progressive-Socialist puppet. How they can possibly think they won’t be negatively affected by Harris’s policies is beyond me.

It would have been nice if Bash had asked her why she remained silent the last three and a half years when she knew Joe Biden’s brain had turned into warm diarrhea. Of course, she stayed silent because loyalty to the Democratic Party was more important than loyalty to the American people.

On an entirely separate subject. 6 Hamas hostages were found dead tonight. There is only one solution. Israel, not the US, needs to attack Gaza and Lebanon and Yemen and most of all IRAN tomorrow all at one time. The head of this snake is IRAN. Why fight GAZA (which is Hamas) when IRAN is the enemy ? Blow them up. Israel is going to have to blow up the IRAN nuclear factory anyway. Why not do it tomorrow ?

If you hate Trump and his mean tweets, Think very deeply and determine which candidate will hurt the country the least. In all my years of voting, I only really voted FOR one president and that was Ronald Reagen, The other times, I voted for the least worst. This was still better than not voting at all !!!

Economics is a big issue & now this week Harris will use her power to go after anyone that she considers a price gouger & now Trump says the Government will pay for or mandate that insurance companies must pay the costs of IVF . Both of them are bordering on price controls which should never exist in a country built on capitalism economy.. They both need some strong economic advisors & quit thinking they can beat inflation with their wild ideas.
