Democrats Revive Tired Russia Narrative as Kamala Campaign Flounders

In the chaotic run-up to the election, it appears that Vice President Kamala Harris is unraveling, leaving the Democrats scrambling for anything that might stick. In a rather desperate attempt to shift attention away from her shortcomings, they have resorted to dredging up the old “Russia, Russia, Russia” narrative, as if that tired trope hasn’t already run its course.

The latest installment in this farce comes courtesy of Bob Woodward’s new book, which posits that former President Donald Trump allegedly had multiple conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Most rational Americans view this claim with the same skepticism they reserve for Joe Biden’s promises—meaning, it’s greeted with a healthy dose of doubt. The mainstream media, however, is all too eager to amplify this story, hoping to serve it up as red meat for the political wolves circling Kamala’s candidacy.

On CNN, Jake Tapper was left red-faced after posing this explosive claim to former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Rather than the scandalous revelation that Tapper likely hoped for, Johnson dismissed the assertion with a wave of his hand. He recounted a different narrative: during his tenure, it was under the Trump administration that decisive action was taken against Russian aggression, including the expulsion of 60 Russian spies and the provision of lethal weaponry to Ukraine. This was a stark contrast to the non-action that marked the Obama administration, demonstrating that Trump was anything but the Kremlin’s puppet.

Johnson’s skepticism about the reported conversations was palpable, suggesting that he had little faith in the accuracy of the claims being thrown around. When Tapper expressed surprise, the bemused look on his face suggested he had not anticipated a response that would counter the narrative he was trying to push. The incident not only showcases Tapper’s fruitless attempts to stir up controversy but also illustrates the growing exasperation among even seasoned politicians regarding this recurring saga.

This entire episode underscores the futility of the Democrats’ reliance on the “Russia” strategy. Hillary Clinton may have popularized the narrative, but it bombed spectacularly then, and it shows no signs of gaining traction now. With Trump consistently advocating for a strong stance against Russia—long before many Democrats recognized the threat—the blatant disconnect in the current narrative becomes all the more apparent.

To further illuminate this disconnect, Trump recently pointed out his push to end European dependence on Russian oil, alongside imposing sanctions on projects like Nord Stream 2. The aftermath of Biden lifting those sanctions resulted in an emboldened Russia, as they seized the opportunity to invade Ukraine. While individuals like Tapper may prefer to perpetuate the myth of Trump as a Russian collaborator, the reality paints a much different picture—one where it was Biden, not Trump, who demonstrated weakness and naiveté regarding foreign policy.

As the election looms, it seems the left is running out of tricks, and dragging out discredited narratives isn’t winning over the electorate. The political battlefield is more than ready for a fresh perspective, one not clouded by outdated accusations and a panicked Democratic Party flailing in the twilight of Kamala Harris’s campaign.
