September 20, 2024: Clueless Harris Denounces Her Own Inciting Remarks After Second Attempt to Take Out Trump Fails
Kamala Harris adopted the media’s “apparent assassination attempt” reporting11 after Sunday’s second Trump near miss. She called out the “possible assassination attempt”12 that most Democrats would consider a very definite, very determined attempt had one of their own been the target instead of a “clear and present danger to our democracy” who “threatens the very foundations of our republic.”13
The “apparent” attempt ricocheted through liberal outlets. Debate host ABC News reported that according to the Secret Service the suspect “didn’t have a line of sight on Trump or take a shot.”14
If a weapon was fired directly at the former president, took out his other ear or struck him somewhere else, would that make it a real assassination attempt?
The answer depends on your politics. It’s safe to assume that if Harris had been on the golf course that day the media narrative and federal response would be very different.
There is no doubt where the blame would rest.
America’s democratic process is as big a threat as Trump, so Democrats go all out to stop it
After two failed impeachments, persecution by our weaponized judicial network, an FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, and the deluge of hate, lies, disinformation, and propaganda directed at the man Democrats fear more than anything, virulent anti-Trumpers have nothing left except the democratic process.
This is an insurmountable obstacle for liberal royalty who do not trust the will of the people when their party’s stranglehold on the nation is at stake. In desperation they denied voters their choice, swapped in Harris for Biden, and were rewarded with a historic Teamsters’ refusal to endorse their incoherent mess of a candidate.
The message is very clear and impossible for the Harris campaign to live down, so what comes next?
What’s past is prologue: fear is Democrats’ best weapon because it works
After a hollow expression of thanks for the safety of her opponent, Harris returned to her hyperbolic, inciteful attacks. In remarks to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus she warned of plans for mass deportations by “Trump and his extremist allies:”
Imagine what that would look like and what that would be. How is that going to happen? Massive raids? Massive detention camps? What are they talking about?15
If she had any idea what she was talking about or whether it was true, would she be asking questions?
Harris continues to threaten her base with lies about Trump abortion bans and a non-existent Trump Project 2025 agenda. If you can sort through her nonsensical rambling, she also blames him for the disunity she helped Biden create:
And I will tell you, I do believe that I offer a new generation of leadership for our country that is about, in particular, turning the page on an era that sadly has shown us attempts by some to incite fear, to create division in our country, and to do the work that is about bringing some level of optimism and, dare I say, ambition, about what I know is possible in our country.16
If there is division in America, it’s not among the middle and working-class Americans who are fed up with authoritarian Democrat Party elitism and turn out in droves to support Trump.
Harris told on herself with her usual tossed salad incoherence:
When you are bestowed with a microphone that is that big, there is a profound responsibility that comes with that that is an extension of what should not be lost in this moment, this concept of the public trust, to then understand what the public trust means. It means that you have been invested with trust to be responsible in the way you use your words, much less how you conduct yourself — and especially when you have been and then seek to be again president of the United States of America.17
Harris is not weighed down by this profound responsibility, though if we believe what she says then she is also denouncing herself. Better to blame Trump for hateful rhetoric despite the fact that he’s the one who survived two assassination attempts after years of being attacked by Harris and Biden’s White House as an existential threat to America’s survival. Clueless about the implications of her words, the vice president carried on the tradition during a rare public appearance with the National Association of Black Journalists:
And we’ve got to say that you cannot be entrusted with standing behind the seal of the president of the United States of America engaging in that hateful rhetoric that, as usual, is designed to divide us as a country, is designed to have people pointing fingers at each other. It’s designed to do that.18
Fortunately, Harris has a solution that doesn’t include what almost happened on Sunday: just take away Trump’s First Amendment rights:
So, let’s turn the page and chart a new way forward and say, “You can’t have that microphone again.”19
The vice president must think her audience is so entranced with her giggling wit and enamored with her New Way Forward that it doesn’t realize she is running on the same inflammatory rhetoric she condemns:
And I think most people in our country, regardless of their race, are starting to see through this nonsense and — and to say, “You know what? Let’s turn the page on this.” This is exhausting and it’s harmful and it’s hateful and — and grounded in some age-old stuff that we should not have the tolerance for.20
We should not have the tolerance for what happened to Trump, either but Democrats learned in 2020 that fear and threats work. The murder of a Black man in Minneapolis by police set America on fire. Harris helped her party fan the flames. Now a Republican with enough support to retake the White House has been targeted twice by assassins after Americans were repeatedly warned about the dire consequences should he win another term.
If we agree with Democrats and accept that Trump’s words incited January 6th, how can we not accept that inciteful anti-Trump rhetoric may have dire, even lethal consequences for the Republican candidate?
As detailed during the February 2021 impeachment proceedings, Harris “urged supporters to donate to a fund that bailed violent rioters and arsonists out of jail” while threatening:
Everyone beware . . . they’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. [T]hey’re not going to let up–and they should not.21
Now America is faced with a different kind of violence fanned by Trump-hating Democrats and their radical candidate for president.
In The Tempest, Shakespeare wisely observed “The past is prologue.” The Summer of Love threatened Americans with what can happen when we anger the Democrat Party. Subverting the democratic process didn’t boost their chances in November and all the other efforts by the left have only made Trump more powerful. Are the attempts on his life “gonna stop” before Election Day, or is inciting violent crackpots how the party plans to maintain its grip on power?
