RUTHFULLY YOURS

https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/2020/10/kamala-harris-lied-repeatedly-and-got-away-it-daniel-greenfield/

Senator Kamala Harris rambled through the debate lying about everything, from her call to ban fracking to Abraham Lincoln’s response to a Supreme Court vacancy.

And she won’t be called on it or fact checked about it because her lies are mostly the second hand products of the media that claims to fact check politicians.

If Kamala appeared to be a vacuous and hollow personality, it’s because she’s a delivery system for media narratives that are detached from her own record. Politicians lie a lot, but Kamala doesn’t simply lie, she mimics and echoes, when you listen to her, it’s like putting your ear to a seashell. Her career provides ample evidence that she doesn’t believe in anything. It’s why she can play a tough-on-crime prosecutor one minute and a race-baiter the next. It’s all parts with no substance behind them.

It’s not so much that Kamala is lying, it’s that she adapts, fitting in clumsily to any role, never being good at it, but going with the flow. If the flow appears to be for ending private health care, she’s for it. Then when she realizes it’s controversial, she’s against it.

She can falsely claim that the Biden-Harris, or Harris-Biden, administration wouldn’t raise taxes, even as it proposes to repeal tax cuts, and wouldn’t ban fracking, despite repeatedly promising to ban fracking, without missing a beat because she is a human green room who pushes narratives, without treating them as real. 

Having gotten some briefing materials from her staff, she glances through them, absorbs the substance, and comes to “court” with them, without really understanding them or caring if they’re true, or feeling bound by them. Words come out of her mouth, bypassing her brain which spends most of its time on the laborious process of trying to mimic human social behavior and appearing relatable to the denizens of this planet. Kamala lies all the time, but she has no idea she’s lying.

In Wednesday’s debate, moderator Susan Page of USA Today came out of the gate on the pandemic. Kamala Harris said we were witnessing the “greatest failure of any administration in history.” The Trump administration “said it was a hoax,” covered it up and “they still don’t have a plan.” Joe Biden, Harris said, would stress testing and contact tracing.

Page asked Mike Pence why the U.S. death toll was higher, and the vice president reminded viewers that President Trump suspended travel from China, which Biden opposed as xenophobic. The president’s national mobilization that saved hundreds of thousands of lives and he launched Operation Warp Speed for a vaccine. The Biden plan, Pence said, “looks like plagiarism, which is something Joe Biden knows about.”

Harris said she would take a vaccine if doctors approved it, but not if President Trump approved it. Pence took her to task for undermining public confidence and “playing politics with lives.” The vice president reminded viewers that the administration in 2009, by their advisor’s own admission “did everything wrong” on the swine flu epidemic that affected 60 million Americans.

Page said the recent White House event for Amy Coney Barrett was a “super spreader.” Harris cited the event as “ineptitude.” By contrast, Pence said, “Trump trusts people. They talk about mandates. We are about freedom.”

Page also raised the issue of possible presidential disability. Harris told viewers she was the first woman of color to be district attorney in San Francisco and the second black woman in the Senate. “Joe knows we share a purpose,” Harris said. Joe Biden had been “incredibly transparent,” on his health record, and on his taxes.

EXCERPT

Pence’s capacity to respectfully and convincingly weave stories into a coherent articulation of the merits of his own worldview and the problems with his political opponents’ is undeniable. On coronavirus, Pence held his own and rightfully pointed out that the Biden campaign is without novel ideas to address it. On every other subject, he embarrassed the California senator on both substance and style. Without apology, he defended the pro-life position. Without reservation, he explained why the strike that eliminated Qasem Soleimani was not only justified, but vital to U.S. interests. The whole evening was a reminder of just how appealing the conservative agenda can be when it’s not packaged within Donald Trump.

In 2024, Mike Pence has a case for being that package.

It was impossible to miss how Kamala Harris, like Joe Biden, refused to answer questions about their plans to expand the Supreme Court. But she also misrepresented history.

Harris claimed at the VP debate that Abraham Lincoln refused to nominate a candidate for Chief Justice in October 1864 because “Honest Abe said, it’s not the right thing to do” and wanted the people to vote first.

Lincoln, of course, said no such thing. He sent no nominee to the Senate in October 1864 because the Senate was out of session until December. He sent a nominee the day after the session began, and Salmon P. Chase was confirmed the same day. And Lincoln wanted to dangle the nomination before Chase and several other potential candidates because he wanted them to campaign for him. Lincoln’s priority was winning the election, which was necessary to win the war — and he filled the vacancy at the first possible instant.

Kamala Harris is simply inventing history.

The vice-presidential debate is over. If the winner is the person who quietly dominated the room, fought off two antagonists, never lost focus, and landed one deadly blow after another, then the winner must be Mike Pence, hands down. However, if the score was for the person who lied incessantly and refused to answer a critical question, Harris is the winner.

Before getting to the lies, the most important moment of the evening was Harris’s refusal to answer when asked about packing the Supreme Court. Pence had cornered Kamala, telling her to answer whether she and Joe would pack the Supreme Court. It was a question that required a “yes” or a “no” answer. Instead, Kamala squirmed, lied, smirked, and played the race card, all the while hoping no one would notice she hadn’t answered. Pence noticed, though, and he put it on the record:

And then, as I said, there were the lies. Pence masterfully rebutted as many as he could, but an easily uttered five-second lie may require a longer rebuttal, and the moderator worked hard to deny Pence the chance to correct the record. The following are just some truths to rebut Kamala’s many lies:
