She presents herself as a relatable figure while simultaneously portraying \u2064her opponent, Donald Trump, \u200din extreme negative terms,\u200d comparing him \u2064to\u2064 Hitler \u200cand emphasizing the dire threats to\u2062 democracy. \u2064Despite this aggressive rhetoric, she is now trying to \u200cadopt a more \u200dunifying tone, suggesting that division and chaos are not the solution and advocating\u2062 for cooperation, which contradicts her previous statements. <\/p>\n<p>This shift in \u2063rhetoric has occurred \u2062after a\u200d pro-Harris super PAC signaled that \u2062her &#8220;Trump is \u200ca fascist&#8221; approach was not resonating with voters. In\u2063 her recent speech, Harris\u200c emphasized the need to\u2064 embrace those who\u200d disagree with her, which \u2064stands in stark contrast to the ongoing efforts by the\u200c Biden-Harris administration to prosecute Trump. \u200cCritics\u2062 point out the inconsistency in \u200cher calls for unity while \u2062labeling Trump as a &#8220;petty tyrant&#8221; and a \u2063&#8221;wannabe dictator.&#8221;\u2063 The article suggests that her attempts at\u200c presenting \u200ca unifying \u2063image are\u200b reminiscent of President Biden&#8217;s previous, unsuccessful\u200d efforts, leading to\u2063 skepticism about the sincerity of her message.  <\/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>With one week to go until Election Day, Kamala Harris is still trying to figure out what she&rsquo;s doing. She wants you to think she&rsquo;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/23\/kamala-harris-is-not-a-girls-girl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brat<\/a>, &ldquo;joyful,&rdquo; cool aunt. But she also wants to convince you that her opponent is literally Hitler and the stakes have never been more dire &mdash; that democracy is at risk of dying in darkness and she&rsquo;s the only one who can save it. Those Republicans are horrible fascist sympathizers, but you know what, she&rsquo;s willing to work with them.<\/p>\n<p>It makes about as much sense as anything she&rsquo;s ever said.<\/p>\n<p>In a speech to Washington, D.C. bureaucrat types on Tuesday night, Harris tried to walk back the nagging, negative, &ldquo;Trump is Hitler&rdquo; rhetoric she&rsquo;s been <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-john-kelly-nazis-hitler-87d672e1ec1a6645808050fc60f6b8bc\">drumming<\/a> all week. Coincidentally, this shift came two days after a pro-Harris super PAC took to the pages of The New York Times to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/27\/us\/politics\/harris-trump-campaign-fascism.html\">flash<\/a> the warning light at the campaign: Screaming that Trump is a fascist &ldquo;Is Not That Persuasive.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;America, for too long we have been consumed with too much division, chaos, and mutual distrust,&rdquo; she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kaE6FhbWVxM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cooed<\/a> on Tuesday night. &ldquo;We have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Rich stuff from the lady who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2024\/10\/23\/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-at-the-vice-presidents-residence\/\">called<\/a> an emergency press conference from the vice president&rsquo;s official residence to compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and label him as &ldquo;incredibly dangerous&rdquo; &mdash; and whose running mate <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/4956168-walz-trump-madison-square-garden-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">compared<\/a> Republicans to Nazis because Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/29\/its-not-just-trump-theyre-calling-a-nazi-its-you\/\">It&rsquo;s Not Just Trump They&rsquo;re Calling A Nazi. It&rsquo;s You<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Unlike Donald Trump, I don&rsquo;t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy,&rdquo; Harris continued on Tuesday. &ldquo;He wants to put them in jail. I&rsquo;ll give them a seat at the table.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Last I checked, it was the Biden-Harris Justice Department trying to put <em>Trump<\/em> in jail. It was Trump who spent four years in the White House acting decidedly not like a dictator, and who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2016\/11\/trump-clinton-investigation-kellyanne-conway-231735\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declined<\/a> to prosecute his prior presidential opponent for her private email scandal because it would be &ldquo;very divisive for the country.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harris couldn&rsquo;t even get through her attempt at sounding conciliatory without referring to Trump as a &ldquo;petty tyrant,&rdquo; a &ldquo;wannabe dictator,&rdquo; and &ldquo;someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>What a unifying tone!<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden tried this &ldquo;unifier-in-chief&rdquo; schtick four years ago. It was obvious then that he was a bitter old man faking a cheesy grandpa persona. Once he became president and started prosecuting his political opponent and delivering angry, ominous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/09\/01\/remarks-by-president-bidenon-the-continued-battle-for-the-soul-of-the-nation\/\">speeches<\/a> calling Trump and &ldquo;MAGA forces&rdquo; a threat, it was even more obvious the promises of &ldquo;unity&rdquo; were a desperate vote grab.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in a last-ditch effort to recover from her tumble in the polls, Harris is trying to do the same thing. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I will work with everyone: Democrats, Republicans, and independents,&rdquo; she said. Even the Americans she&rsquo;s spent all week painting as Nazis? Even those her doddering boss just <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TrumpWarRoom\/status\/1851422555153821937\">called<\/a> &ldquo;garbage&rdquo;? What about the Americans whose hometowns she has <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/19\/its-not-just-haitians-in-springfield-mass-immigration-is-destroying-the-american-nation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flooded<\/a> with criminals from foreign countries? The <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/19\/yes-bidens-department-of-justice-wants-to-imprison-peaceful-pro-lifers-for-praying\/\">pro-life protesters<\/a> her administration&rsquo;s DOJ has <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/08\/21\/michigan-jury-finds-7-guilty-of-face-act-violation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">thrown in prison<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Kamala Harris will say whatever she thinks benefits her. It&rsquo;s why she&rsquo;s spent her entire three-month campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/08\/20\/is-kamala-harris-lying-about-her-positions-now-or-was-she-lying-before\/\">flip-flopping<\/a> on her previous convictions. Right now, she can&rsquo;t decide whether it helps her most to smear Trump and his supporters as Nazis or to promise to &ldquo;build consensus and reach compromise&rdquo; with them. The fact that she&rsquo;s doing both shows neither one is anything more than a cheap campaign trick.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>   Elle Purnell is the elections editor at The Federalist.
