Harris has pattern of deflecting, not answering questions
Editor:
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”— Maya Angelou
Kamala Harris certainly confirmed the truth of this quote during her 60 Minutes interview with CBS correspondent, Bill Whitaker. As always, she struggled to offer any clarity on the key issues such as immigration and border security.
When Whitaker pressed her on whether the Biden/Harris administration should have responded sooner to the horrific migration crisis, she declined to give her opinion. One of her signature tactics is to sidestep into a different issue, which she did by redirecting the topic at hand.
I’m sure she found Whitaker’s questions hard to tackle such as “Why did your administration loosen restrictions on immigration that led to a quadrupling of illegal migration into America?” It was obvious she didn’t know what to say. This too is a pattern. When she becomes overwhelmed or dumbfounded by a question she finds distasteful, she either talks in circles like a dog chasing its tail, or she tries to pump up her credibility by citing dissociated events.
Over time it has become apparent she is more comfortable in superficial settings such as “Call Her Daddy.” This type of arena gives her freedom to talk about herself and her campaign and steers clear of important topics such as immigration and the Biden administration’s response to Hurricane Helene. I’d like to know how she is going to fix immigration, address the Middle East conflict and reset the economy. Her colorless and disconnected counters on these vital issues leave her audience in a stupor of confusion.
On the flip side of the coin, Trump does not shy away from difficult issues. He made peace between Kim Jong Un and Moon, becoming the first sitting US President to not only meet a North Korean leader but also enter that land. He calmed the ever brewing Middle East storm between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
He has made his vision very transparent:
- Purging the USA of foreign gangs
- Stopping the gateway for fentanyl and other drugs
- Creating citizen/work release for qualified immigrants
- Strengthening our military
- Supporting our veterans
- Developing energy independence
- Promoting world peace
- Controlling inflation
Trump supports the police and prioritizes law and order and citizen safety. This means peaceful demonstrations, not riots.
Many people are looking ahead to what the next four years will be like, but I encourage everyone to look at the last four years.
There is a lot of work ahead. Work to improve social security, work to reduce our country’s debt and taxes and work for voting for citizens only.
During Trump’s time as President, he accomplished a great deal and proved his diligence, unlike Harris, whose time as VP has been riddled with incoherent, muddled verbiage, chaos and unfinished assignments. To expect the latter to now morph into someone who is suddenly going to handle an even more challenging job, is fodder for a fantasy novel.
