The \u200carticle also\u2062 accuses her of gaining her leadership\u200d position without earning support through \u2062traditional political processes, framing this as \u2063a &#8220;coup&#8221; against Democratic primary\u200b voters. \u200cFurthermore,\u200c it highlights her lack of accountability regarding the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which resulted in significant loss and turmoil. \u2062Lastly, the\u200b writer notes Harris&#8217;s inadequate response to immigration crises at the U.S.-Mexico border, suggesting a \u200bbroader \u2063pattern of \u2062neglect and avoidance in her role. the summary portrays Harris as evasive and lacking in\u2064 both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/citizens-object-to-2020-election\/\" title=\"Citizens Object To 2020 Election\">political courage<\/a> and\u200c accountability.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Who would you rather have a beer with: Donald Trump or Kamala Harris? Trick question. Trump doesn&rsquo;t drink and Harris&rsquo; handlers aren&rsquo;t going to let her off the leash for a drink with you, loser.<\/p>\n<p>But if you did somehow end up at a table with Harris and a bottle of wine, don&rsquo;t play &ldquo;Never Have I Ever.&rdquo; She would kill at that game. Here are seven things Kamala Harris has never done:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Had a Meaningful Unscripted Interview as the Democrat Presidential Candidate<\/h2>\n<p>Kamala Harris likes her interviews the way Democrats used to like their abortions: &ldquo;safe&rdquo; and rare. She is playing hard-to-get with the American people. Voters are almost desperate to hear from her. But don&rsquo;t be thirsty for her just because she has finally agreed to an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Like President Joe Biden, or February&rsquo;s groundhog, when someone rarely comes out of captivity, our expectations are lowered. For Biden, we&rsquo;ve been impressed when he makes it up the stairs of Air Force One without incident. For Punxsutawney Phil, we&rsquo;re just glad when no one drops him. And with Harris, perhaps it will take nothing more than the absence of a word salad or minimal cackling for the fawning media to be impressed with her performance.<\/p>\n<p>But showing up in a controlled setting cannot be the measure. She will be sitting in a joint interview with a friendly reporter, CNN&rsquo;s Dana Bash, and Harris will be assisted by Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Walz.<\/p>\n<p>Harris took interviews before she became the lead Democrat, but now she must prove she can think on her feet all by herself, that she can handle opposition smartly, that she understands complex issues, and that she can be trusted to negotiate the world&rsquo;s most consequential problems without wavering.<\/p>\n<p>So far, all she has proven is that she excels at hiding from the media and Americans can look forward to four years of her dodging reporters&nbsp;on her walk to a helicopter on the White House lawn.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Told the Truth About Joe Biden&rsquo;s Health<\/h2>\n<p>Anyone who has cared for someone in physical or cognitive decline could see Biden&rsquo;s feeble condition has worsened since the 2020 election. It is obvious to Americans even with limited access, mostly through short video clips and a few, highly orchestrated public appearances. The falls, the jumbled speech, and the struggles to find his way off the stage had many calling it cruel to keep Biden working, humiliating him in public. Even after Biden appeared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WBUgHkbtm9I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fall asleep<\/a> in front of world leaders at various events, no one intervened for the good of the country.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Watch the US President Joe Biden appears to fall asleep in a meeting with Israeli PM Naftali Bennett. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6gD3EuG0vO\">pic.twitter.com\/6gD3EuG0vO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Newsum (@Newsumindia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Newsumindia\/status\/1431880423932497924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 29, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Harris had frequent interactions with Biden, but there is no public evidence she ever acknowledged his condition. The 25th Amendment allows for the removal of a president due to physical or mental disability. It is unclear what is preventing that from happening even now.<\/p>\n<p>If Harris would make such a good president, and Biden is largely <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/08\/26\/us-news\/biden-taking-second-straight-week-of-vacation-despite-insisting-hed-finish-presidency-strong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">absent<\/a> from the White House, wouldn&rsquo;t it make sense to have her finish out this term and give the American people a real sense of what to expect from a Harris presidency?<\/p>\n<h2>3. Earned a Single Delegate<\/h2>\n<p>What happened to saving democracy? Harris is in this position through a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/17\/opinion\/election-dnc-convention.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coup<\/a>, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/coup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dictionary<\/a>. That is, &ldquo;a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats cared about disenfranchised voters until they decided to disenfranchise every Democrat voter in the 2024 primary elections.<\/p>\n<p>The running Biden-Harris administration strategy has been to lie to the American people with a straight face, steady eye contact, and an authoritative voice, until the parasite media picks up its talking points.<\/p>\n<p>The current lie is that Biden willingly and heroically stepped away from a second term for the good of the country, and Zero-Vote Harris is the rightful candidate. <\/p>\n<p>Smart Americans could see in January that Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whistleblower-democrats-stole-votes-for-joe-biden-from-every-developmentally-disabled-person-in-milwaukee-homes-she-spoke-with\/\" title=\"Whistleblower: Democrats Stole Votes for Joe Biden from Every Developmentally Disabled Person in Milwaukee Homes She Spoke With\">didn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t have a second term in him, but is it really possible none of the Democrat leadership could? By all appearances, Harris and her handlers interfered with the primary outcome. They ran a candidate who could not go the distance and kicked him out when no other candidates could get in on the race &mdash; and no voter could derail Harris.<\/p>\n<p>But Democrat voters are not vigorously protesting, so a new precedent has been set. They can do this in the future more easily.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Voiced Remorse Over the Botched Afghanistan Exit<\/h2>\n<p>To be sorry for how the military was instructed to leave Afghanistan would be to admit it was wrong. Good leaders know they are imperfect and admit it when they are, because that is a path to healing and course correction. Harris and Biden owe an apology to the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/gold-star-families-rnc-gop-convention-b8d043475a5cb8cb7735c366ba75502d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gold Star families<\/a> of the 13 service members who died in the withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>And the American people must have an accounting of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/04\/27\/politics\/afghan-weapons-left-behind\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$7 billion<\/a> in battle gear this administration left behind. How is it possible Biden and Harris made no arrangements to remove these powerful assets? No one has been held accountable, and apparently no one ever will.<\/p>\n<p>The sloppy exit negated the gains that came at a high cost in lives lost and money spent; Afghan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/afghanistan-taliban-new-rules-women-rights-quashed-isis-al-qaeda-regroup-3-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">women<\/a> are again barred from schools and back in burkas as the Taliban rules their lives.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<div lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>JUST IN: &#127462;&#127467; &#127482;&#127480; The Taliban held a military parade using United States military equipment that was left behind after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>This parade marks the third anniversary of the Taliban&#8217;s return to power in the nation. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oZzg0RuAo5\">pic.twitter.com\/oZzg0RuAo5<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&mdash; BRICS News (@BRICSinfo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BRICSinfo\/status\/1823742240050577686?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 14, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The truth is, Biden and Harris are not sorry about how things turned out. If they were, they would say so clearly when they are asked about it, and they would have acted with natural remorse when it happened. That they are not noticeably troubled is troubling.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Been to a Stress Point at the Border<\/h2>\n<p>Harris never acted with urgency after being put in charge of the border. She talked of working on the &ldquo;root causes&rdquo; of immigration, such as poverty in other countries, but didn&rsquo;t address the many other complex reasons for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-budget-proposes-slashing-600-million-from-dhs-amid-growing-threats\/\" title=\"Biden budget proposes slashing 0 million from DHS amid growing threats\">record border crossings<\/a>, such as drug and human trafficking. <\/p>\n<p>After much political pressure, she did tour the Border Patrol facilities in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2021\/06\/25\/kamala-harris-texas-mexico-border-immigration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">El Pa<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2021\/06\/25\/kamala-harris-texas-mexico-border-immigration\/\">so<\/a> but was criticized for not visiting the Rio Grande Valley, where there was a massive crossing surge.<\/p>\n<p>By passing responsibility to Harris, Biden may have been attempting to dodge serious scrutiny on the matter. He could point to Harris as the one in charge. Could that be the Harris plan? Will she pass the task off to her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a>, Tim Walz?<\/p>\n<p>Or will she revert to the position she held as a senator when she proposed abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/109823\/kamala-harris-ice-should-be-reassessed-from-scratch\/#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">starting over<\/a> with a new plan?   <\/p>\n<h2>6. Cared for an Infant, Toddler, or Elementary School Child<\/h2>\n<p>You don&rsquo;t have to be a parent to be president, but because Harris has never been in the daily trenches of parenthood, she cannot fathom the struggles, sacrifices, and rewards of parenting.<\/p>\n<p>Her stepson was 19 and her stepdaughter was 15 when she married her husband, Doug Emhoff. Some life truths are revealed only through the blessing of parenting. So when Harris passionately advocates for abortion or aligns herself with the National Education Association, one of her mega-donors, and its platform of providing minors with school libraries filled with <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/07\/10\/the-national-education-associations-summer-reading-selections-aim-to-indoctrinate-kids-not-educate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sexualized books<\/a>, know that she has no lived experience when it comes to the day-to-day protection of children.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Offered a Digestible Policy Platform<\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&rsquo;t heard Harris&rsquo; life story, you can read about it at her official campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/kamalaharris.com\/meet-kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website.<\/a> Just click past all the donation options. You won&rsquo;t find any policy platform on the site.<\/p>\n<p>This gives her the room to sway on policy messaging, based on what is most politically useful today. It makes her look like a weak woman who is not sure who she is, or what she intends to do. But chances are, at 59, she knows exactly who she is and what she intends to do to the United States. <\/p>\n<p>She just doesn&rsquo;t want to discuss it with you.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Beth Brelje is an elections correspondent for The Federalist. She is an award-winning investigative journalist with decades of media experience.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who would you prefer to share a drink with: Donald Trump or Kamala Harris? It&#8217;s a trick question. Trump doesn&#8217;t drink, and Harris&#8217; team wouldn&#8217;t allow her to relax with you, unfortunate as that may be. However, if by some chance you found yourself at a table with Harris and a bottle of wine, steer clear of playing &#8220;Never Have I Ever.&#8221; She would dominate that game. Here are seven things Kamala Harris has never done:<\/p>\n<p>1. **Had an Authentic Unscripted Interview as the Democratic Presidential Candidate**<br \/>\nKamala Harris prefers her interviews like Democrats used to prefer their abortions: \u201csafe\u201d and infrequent. She\u2019s been elusive with the American public, leaving voters eager for her input. But don\u2019t get too excited just because she finally agreed to an interview; our expectations have been lowered due to the rarity of such events. Like President Joe Biden or Punxsutawney Phil emerging from hibernation, we\u2019re just relieved when they manage basic tasks without incident.<\/p>\n<p>2. **Acknowledged Joe Biden\u2019s Health Truthfully**<br \/>\nAnyone who has cared for someone experiencing physical or cognitive decline can see that Biden&#8217;s condition has deteriorated since 2020. Despite frequent interactions with him, there is no evidence that Harris has publicly recognized his struggles.<\/p>\n<p>3. **Earned Any Delegates**<br \/>\nWhat happened to protecting democracy? According to the dictionary definition of a coup\u2014\u201ca sudden decisive exercise of force in politics\u201d\u2014Harris is in her position through undemocratic means.<\/p>\n<p>4. **Expressed Regret Over the Afghanistan Withdrawal**<br \/>\nTo express remorse about how military operations were conducted during the Afghanistan exit would require admitting it was mishandled\u2014a sign of good leadership which both she and Biden have failed to demonstrate.<\/p>\n<p>5. **Visited Critical Areas at the Border**<br \/>\nAfter being assigned responsibility for border issues, Harris did not act urgently nor address many complex factors contributing to record immigration levels.<\/p>\n<p>6. **Cared for Young Children**<br \/>\nWhile one doesn\u2019t need parenting experience to be president, having never raised young children herself means she lacks insight into their challenges and needs.<\/p>\n<p>7. **Provided a Clear Policy Platform**<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re looking for details on her policy positions on her campaign website, you&#8217;ll find little beyond personal anecdotes\u2014allowing her flexibility in messaging but also projecting uncertainty about who she is or what she plans for America.<\/p>\n<p>Beth Brelje serves as an elections correspondent for The Federalist and brings decades of investigative journalism experience<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":2333516,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/unnamed-2.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[36253,4021,5894,14618],"class_list":["post-2333515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-election2024","tag-harris","tag-politics","tag-potus"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/unnamed-2.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/104"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2333515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2333516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2333515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2333515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2333515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
