The myth of Kamala Harris. She’s just not who she appears to be.
Sacramento Bee ^ | June 1, 2019 | MARCOS BRETÓN

Posted on 06/01/2019 9:25:05 AM PDT by upchuck

There is one reason and one reason only why Kamala Harris made a big splash when she declared her candidacy for president in January and then shrunk in a crowded field since then:

Harris is not who she presents herself to be.

And that realization tends to dawn on people after she exhausts her talking points and must demonstrate more than being telegenic and effusive.

Harris looks dazzling at first sight. She has a great personal story. She’s been wildly successful in her career at every step of the way.

But Harris’ story of who she really is eventually douses cold water on the hot flames of emotion that she is trying to inspire in Democratic voters. Her record as San Francisco’s District Attorney and California’s Attorney General are at odds with her candidacy for the Democratic nomination...

To begin with, Harris is not a progressive, and anyone who says she is probably is on her payroll. California’s state legislature is trying to place unprecedented controls on law enforcement and the elephant in the Democratic primary is not Trump. It’s Harris’ record as state AG.

What can we say about that record except that it is not in the spirit of legislation seeking to restrict use of force by police and bills to stop rogue cops like Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones from abusing their authority.

As AG, Harris was always deferential to cops and other prosecutors. She was as reluctant to prosecute cops as the current occupant of the AG job, Xavier Becerra.

That makes sense. Dems are very concerned with Trump taking a higher percentage of the Black vote. If she ran, she would probably retain most Black votes. What a shame.

with two foreigners a parents at time of birth, making her not a natural born citizen, and sleeping with a powerful man to get two public jobs, she is not suitable nor qualified to be president.

Her legal expertise is terribly poor. Tried to prosecute Center for Medical Progress over whistleblower tapes of Planned Parenthood selling baby organs. Made a fool of herself in the Kavanaugh hearings. Then last week, she said the U.S. should need federal approval to restrict abortion. Guess she forgot to read that Constitution thingy.

Yes, it quickly comes out she slept her way to the top and couldn’t even pass the bar exam.

The problem for frau pantsuit is that she lost to Donald Trump in the first place. It may be unspoken but the hate filled dim base is never going to forgive her for that. All their current pain with the President can be directly blamed on her campaign or lack of campaign in 2016. She had all the cards then and still lost. This time around she would have a much weaker hand and I would guess a dispirited base if she somehow got the nomination in 2020.

I think it’s going to be Michelle O. She’s still popular with the huge herd of Democrat sheep, more so than Hillary***

That possibility has been rolling around in my head for months.

What better candidate could they run?

She has three, no 4 qualification:

She is black

She is a ‘woman’

She is a tranny

She hates the USA

Many candidates will drop out when she enters the race.

Those that don’t drop out will be convinced to drop out or be forced out. Given an offer they can’t refuse.

The dems will let a few stay in to make MO look good in the debates. She will probably only do one

Her handlers will wait until the exact time to throw her in the ring.

JFK didn’t throw his hat in the ring until January of the year he was voted into the WH. With enough voter fraud to cinch his election.

Trying to change the zebra's stripes?

Won't work, (Willie Brown's harem-member) Harris is farther left than mere "progressive", and the Bee knows it.

Is a person born in the USA to one parent who is an American citizen and the other who is not, a natural-born American citizen?

A $million+ paid for Cali sex harassment suits; Kamala recalls nothing (LA Times even read her out)

Democrat Kamala Harris, is vehemently #MeToo, but has memory problems about the $400,000 Cali shelled out for the disgusting sex harassment behavior of Larry Wallace, her handpicked L/E director....$700,000 Cali taxpayers paid out for sex-harassing activities of Kamala's other lieutenants during her tenure--2011-2017.

Disclosed weeks after Harris launched her presidential bid, her record now has new scrutiny. Incidents included inappropriate touching, workers feeling uncomfortable with comments and actions of others. Harris says she employed 5,000 employees, so that's quite a payout over a mere six-years.....but she never heard of it.

Kamala was the state's top law enforcer, and she knew nothing.....and DID nothing...... when Harvey Weinstein was marauding Hollywood environs.....sicking it to women 24/7.

=============================

Kamala's claims reflect very badly on her — here's what she claims to have been completely in the dark about.

<><>She defended planted false testimony in one prosecution,
<><> she sought to keep convicts in jail because of their use to the state for fighting forest fires,
<><> she tried to squelch exonerating DNA evidence in the case of one man in jail for a crime he didn't commit,
<><> she misrepresented her stance on reporting illegal aliens to ICE to look good to leftists.

Was she so busy sleeping her way to the top that she had no time to hire decent people?

What's particularly galling about this is her belated claim to take "full responsibility" for these office perverts she supposedly supervised:

SEN KAMALA: "As the chief executive, the buck stopped with me. No one should face harassment or intimidation in the workplace, and victims of sexual misconduct should be listened to, believed and protected."

It's nonsense. She didn't take responsibility, the taxpayers took responsibility — she was the one who was asleep at the wheel. If this isn't more proof positive that she isn't ready for higher office, what is?

, H.A. Goodman, a commentator on youtube.... is convinced that Shrillary is "going to run"
Perhaps she'll try and make history repeat itself and say "they won't have Hilary Clinton to kick around anymore"?

Willie Brown, Harris’ sugar daddy likened Jim “kool aid” Jones to Eisntein and MLK. ‘nuff said.

“She’s been wildly successful in her career at every step of the way.”

So sleeping with the boss is a metric to measure ones career path?

re: “Well .. she appears to have got to where she is by skillfully exploiting the powers of lordosis.”

Where did you come up with that word, or, where did you last see that term?

Great word play....

“had an on and off Job on Wille Brown’s Staff.”

“Her experience in serving many positions on Brown’s Staff”

Lol.

Old CA joke: “Her name is pronounced ‘CAMEL-a’ not ‘Ka-MAH-La.’” After all, she humped her way to the top.
