Of course they didn&rsquo;t.<\/p>\n<p>No, much of this buzz about Harris is wholly manufactured, and a big part of that has to do with how much she has been otherwise kept in cellophane when it comes to the media.<\/p>\n<p>Democrat handlers and their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/insiders-biden-isnt-telling-truth-feels-obama-pelosi-pushed-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shady cabal<\/a> of leadership do this because every time Harris opens her mouth for one of her trademark word salads, people are reminded just a little bit more of 2019 primary Kamala &hellip; and that&rsquo;s not good for her, her handlers, or <del>Obama<\/del> her leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns about Harris&rsquo;s less-than-stellar reputation being questioned have apparently trickled down to her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, if the latest incident is anything to go by.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Walz&rsquo;s team traveled to Lancaster County in Pennsylvania for a campaign event, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/local-pennsylvania-reporters-were-told-harris-campaign-not-disrupt-tim-walz-event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to one local reporter, certain reporters were given very clear instructions on what not to do around Walz.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Falyssakratznews%2Fvideos%2F521307293777250%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=267&amp;t=0\" width=\"267\" height=\"591\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Gov.

Or maybe the family just didn&rsquo;t want the daughter around as her father was hounded with questions.<\/p>\n<p>But this Pennsylvania incident isn&rsquo;t an isolated incident. It&rsquo;s a clear and concise pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Harris and her campaign will only speak to the media in the friendliest and most highly controlled of environs (and even then, only provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-hannity-hits-kamala-harris-hard-dagger-joke-trump-finishes-off-brutal-town-hall-moment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">16 minutes and 30 seconds<\/a> worth of responses), because the alternative would be anathema to her chances at pulling off this presidential win.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s despicable, but it might very well be effective, if some Kamala-friendly polling is to be believed. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/president\/general\/2024\/trump-vs-harris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Real Clear Politics<\/a> has her up 1.8 points.)<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it&rsquo;s so nakedly obvious that Democrats are trying to drag a Kamala Harris-sized piece of Tupperware across the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>If Republicans show any semblance of complacency come November, the Democrats &mdash; by both hook and crook &mdash; might actually pull this off.<\/p>\n<p>And that wouldn&rsquo;t be good for anyone.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\">  <\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> <label>* Name<\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> <\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> <label>* <\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> <\/div>\n<p> <label>* Message<\/label> <br \/> <textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\">  <\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

Almost remarkable. In truth, it&#8217;s quite disgraceful\u2014especially highlighted by a recent event involving Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s campaign. To clarify: anyone with a political memory longer than five years knows that Kamala Harris was one of the least successful and most ridiculed candidates in recent history. Her performances during the 2019 presidential primaries were legendary\u2014but not for any positive reasons.<\/p>\n<p>So, how is it that Harris appears to be faring better this time? Aside from completely bypassing a fair primary process for 2024, did her four years as vice president\u2014characterized by either incompetence or deceit\u2014really enhance her political acumen? Of course not.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the current buzz surrounding Harris is artificially created, largely due to her being kept under wraps by the media. Democratic strategists and their questionable leadership do this because every time she speaks her signature confusing rhetoric, it reminds people of her lackluster 2019 campaign\u2014and that&#8217;s detrimental for her and those backing her.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns about Harris&#8217;s tarnished reputation seem to have affected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as well, based on a recent incident. On Wednesday, Walz&#8217;s team held a campaign event in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A local reporter noted that certain journalists received explicit instructions on what they should avoid doing around him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gov. Tim Walz spoke with people calling into the Lancaster County Democratic Committee field office,&#8221; reported WPMT-TV journalist Alyssa Kratz on Facebook Wednesday. &#8220;His daughter Hope accompanied him.&#8221; She added that he spoke to supporters for about six or seven minutes but did not take questions from reporters present at the event.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kratz, one determined reporter was essentially told to remain silent when they attempted to ask questions: &#8220;One reporter tried shouting a question and we were told &#8216;not to disrupt the program,'&#8221; she explained further regarding their attempts as a group (the press) asking if Gov. Walz could speak at the podium while microphones were placed there\u2014a request that was denied.<\/p>\n<p>If this had been an isolated occurrence amid an otherwise challenging campaign environment (like what former President Donald Trump faces), it might be dismissed as inconsequential. Perhaps Walz simply wasn&#8217;t in the mood for questions that day or wanted his daughter shielded from media scrutiny during his speech.<\/p>\n<p>However, this incident isn&#8217;t unique; it&#8217;s part of an evident pattern where Harris and her team only engage with media under highly controlled conditions (and even then provide limited responses). The alternative would jeopardize their chances of winning this presidential race\u2014a situation that&#8217;s both shameful yet potentially effective if some favorable polling data is accurate (Real Clear Politics shows she&#8217;s up by 1.8 points).<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, it&#8217;s glaringly clear that Democrats are attempting to push Kamala Harris across the finish line despite significant challenges ahead come November; if Republicans show any signs of complacency then Democrats might actually succeed\u2014and such an outcome would be detrimental for everyone involved<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2337509,"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\/Walz-avoids-reporters-on-campaign-trail.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40241,35844,4738,36113],"class_list":["post-2337508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-event-reprimand","tag-harris-campaign","tag-reporters","tag-tim-walz"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Walz-avoids-reporters-on-campaign-trail.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337508","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=2337508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2337509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2337508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2337508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2337508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
