After a\u2063 period of limiting her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/journalists-mourn-as-cnn-exec-who-fueled-trumps-rise-announces-plans-to-leave-network\/\" title=\"Journalists Mourn as CNN Exec Who Fueled Trump\u2019s Rise Announces Plans to Leave Network\">public appearances<\/a>, Harris was seen\u2064 exiting a vehicle wearing earpieces\u2064 and holding her phone, which\u200b some interpreted \u2062as a tactic to evade questions from the media. The incident sparked reactions\u2064 on social media,\u2064 with users commenting on her behavior as disingenuous and highlighting a pattern of\u2064 evasion. The \u2063article suggests that\u2063 this behavior is part of \u200ba broader \u200cstrategy by Harris\u2019s campaign\u200d to control her \u2063public image and speech, especially \u200bfollowing a poorly received interview with\u200d CNN. The commentary points to a general \u2063sentiment that voters\u2064 may notice this\u200d pattern and be inclined to reject her candidacy in the upcoming elections.  <\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Some people have mastered the art of looking busy so as to avoid social interactions without raising eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, however, is not one of them.<\/p>\n<p>After weeks of limiting her public comments to only the most scripted settings, Harris on Monday adopted a new tactic.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for her, she fooled no one.<\/p>\n<p>In a clip posted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X by C-SPAN comms director Howard Mortman, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamalas-desired-debate-changes-rejected-abc-makes-debate-trump-even-harder-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><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><\/a> emerged from her vehicle carrying a phone and wearing earpieces.

However, Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris does not fall into this category. After spending weeks making only scripted public statements, she tried a different approach on Monday. Unfortunately for her, it was transparent to everyone. In a video shared on the social media platform X by C-SPAN communications director Howard Mortman, Harris was seen exiting her vehicle with a phone in hand and wearing earpieces. She briefly waved at reporters before boarding a plane to Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not this move was as intentional as it appeared is debatable, but it&#8217;s clear that wearing headphones is an effective way to ignore questions from the press. Shortly after stepping out of her car, Harris raised her hand in what seemed like a salute to an officer who welcomed her. Following some small talk, she proceeded with one hand on her earpiece as if listening intently\u2014an ideal strategy for dodging inquiries. If she indeed pretended to be on the phone to avoid reporters&#8217; questions, it didn&#8217;t come off convincingly; one user commented on X that &#8220;she&#8217;s pretending to be on the phone&#8230; It&#8217;s an avoidance tactic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another user humorously noted: &#8220;Remember to pretend to be on the phone as you avoid talking and keep moving.&#8221; Additionally, another commenter speculated about what questions she might have faced from friendly media outlets: &#8220;We\u2019ll never know what kind of ice cream she likes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Harris participated in a much-publicized interview with CNN\u2019s Dana Bash that did not go well after weeks of relying heavily on teleprompters and steering clear of unscripted appearances. Her campaign team seems intent on keeping their candidate out of sight for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, this seemingly trivial incident involving earpieces has garnered attention because it fits into a larger pattern of behavior. The key now is whether voters will recognize this pattern and choose not to support the Democratic candidate when they head to the polls on November 5th<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2335711,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/kamala-4.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[39926,32438,32603,32818,4738],"class_list":["post-2335710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-communication-strategy","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-news","tag-press-conference","tag-reporters"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/kamala-4.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335710","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\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2335710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2335711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2335710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2335710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2335710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
