Vice President Kamala Harris appeared with Michelle Obama on Saturday evening, and things ranged from laughable to psychotic. As RedState reported, the former First Lady ranted and raved about abortion while scolding male voters for not reflexively backing Harris. To say it was tone-deaf would be too kind. I’d instead go with psychotic regarding the following clip.
But while Michelle Obama made headlines for being so tone-deaf and demeaning, Harris got noticed for a different reason: She was completely unhinged.
HARRIS: Should never again (starts yelling) stand behind the seal of the United States! Never again! Never again! Never again!
The transcript is almost irrelevant here. You have to watch the video to see how crazy she comes across. The arms are flailing, and she’s growling as if she’s about to bite the head off a bat. It’s a look, and it’s not a good one for a struggling nominee desperate to right the ship just days before the final votes of the election are cast.
What if I told you it gets worse, though? Believe it or not, this is a scripted performance she’s delivered before, and the Trump campaign helpfully put together a video illustrating that. Get ready to have your mind blown.
It’s not just that Harris is repeating the same thing over and over. It’s that even the hand gestures and facial expressions are the same. This is something that was workshopped and rehearsed, and the vice president’s delivery shows all the skills of a third-rate high-school actor.
Who is this appealing to? What undecided voter is seeing Harris raving like a lunatic and deciding she deserves their vote? Far be it from me to question the vast knowledge of the campaign consultant class, but this doesn’t seem like the best closing argument to me. Americans want answers to real problems, not deranged rants and Hitler comparisons. Yet, that’s exactly what Harris is pumping out in the closing days of this race.
It’s a choice, I suppose. Let’s see how it works out for her.
