Hoary does not mean what you think. It means trite, worn out, eye-rollingly tiresome. Mush-gush aims to capture the outpouring of self-serving gobbledygook last week made by Harris as “news.” Her so-called “press conference” was shocking, really.
To call CNN’s spoon feeding of Gerber questions to Harris and Walz, with “did you mean this, or did you mean that” pre-answers, and watching incoherent words emerge, was just embarrassing.
Nothing like a press conference, more a poorly rehearsed SNL skit, this performance – aimed at making Harris look serious beside a nodding sidekick, Tim Walz, was almost comical.
As the out-of-touch Harris strung words together in hard-to-decipher, run-on sentences, Waltz looked like a parent on back-to-school night, legs crunched under a desk too small, hands folded, his own deflections about drunk driving at 96 mph and then claiming to be deaf, or pretending to be a combat vet, claiming a rank he never achieved, and then ducking deployment – pathetic.
Simply put: The display was all anyone should need to decide their vote. It was a “please depart the stage” bad joke. These two are a fraud, immature, self-righteous, juggling untruths, assuming CNN will cover. To CNN’s discredit, they tried and failed.
Like nervous adolescents in a high school play, or kids caught lying, these two just dug themselves in deeper with denials, missing how unbelieving their audience is. They seem to think “say it enough times…” works. People are tired of that.
Harris, who demonized “fracking” to get energy costs down, was suddenly all for it. Having lambasted Republicans for serious border policies, supporting Customs, Border Patrol, and DEA, trying to build a sovereignty-protecting wall to stop illegals and drugs, she was now for a wall.
Harris, having pushed inflation to nine percent, interest to a 22-year high with overspending, overregulation, and “green new everything,” crushing Americans, now will fix it. Having set the fiscal forest on fire, she will put the mess out. Guilt notwithstanding, how? More spending, taxes, and regulations – aimed at fixing what she and her sad, deposed boss destroyed.
Harris, having thrashed Israel, is now for them. Having denied them weapons and munitions for self-defense, and thrown in with the anti-semitic mobs, she says she never meant it.
Harris, having pushed socialist medicine, federal energy control, unrestricted corporate censorship, federal information policing, bankrupting gun manufacturers, and outlawing plastic straws, now loves “freedom” – with a sidekick who set up “hotlines” to help neighbors “inform” on maskless neighbors. You cannot make this up, pure Soviet, pretending it never happened.
Harris, who was a terrible California AG, hid behind the title. Federal courts lectured her for violating constitutional rights of prisoners and innocents, practiced law-fare, and she shrugs.
Harris is “proud” of the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan, giving the country to terrorists, plying them with hundreds of millions plus billions in weapons. On her watch, we lost more Americans in one day than in the whole prior year, and left 100,000 brave allies there to die.
Harris then got the wink from CNN, a pass on accountability for appeasing Iran with billions, helping trigger wars in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, covering for a senile, incompetent, corrupt Biden, and being part of a team that pocketed millions from China and Ukraine.
Throughout the interview, Harris spouted words that would have earned an F on a term paper, incompressible, vague, evasive, flatly untrue, even leaving the questioner stumped at times.
So, was it a “good day” for Harris-Walz? Well, as most media gave them a pass, left the drivel unreported, perhaps so. But the noxious, tight-lipped, we-are-just-smarter look tell the story.
Democrats relieved not to be watching Joe mutter and mumble will have watched with confirmation bias, pouring content into emptiness. Those with high tolerance for mush-gush may have imagined they heard something.
But the rest of America saw cocky nothingness, a dangerously empty ticket, media again covering for the indefensible, two pasts littered with leftist actions people still suffer under.
On display was a pair of shameful, audacious deceivers, trying to play cute and cudgel demoralized Americans into submission, using fear, modeling what disinformation looks like.
Other than that…these two looked great, a presidential nominee who never stood in a primary for president, and a vice presidential nominee who stiff-arms truth, nods at hoary Harris’ mush-gush. Welcome to the Harris-Walz Show. Shocking, really.
