The unsavory tactics being deployed by Vice President Kamala Harris and her Democrat cabal as they kick off her presidential campaign are nothing short of a master class in political gaslighting. With just over 100 days until the election, the American public is being force-fed a smorgasbord of half-truths and outright falsehoods. Here’s a breakdown of how the Democratic machine is spinning its web of deception.
First on the agenda is the state of President Biden’s cognitive function, which is apparently not a topic of concern for the DNC or their loyal media allies. A year ago, a Harvard-Harris poll revealed that 57% of Americans questioned Biden’s mental fitness, a sentiment echoed by a whopping 65% asserting he is simply too old for the presidency. Instead of acknowledging this reality, Harris and others have chosen to wear metaphorical blinders. After a particularly disastrous debate performance, Harris defended Biden claiming he had a “slow start, but a strong finish,” as if that would quell the rising tide of criticism directed at her boss. The irony is rich—conservative critics are now calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, suggesting that if Biden can’t campaign effectively, he shouldn’t be serving at all. But Harris remains silent on any action regarding her boss.

Then comes the peculiar phenomenon of questioning Harris’s competency, which her allies have labeled offensive, especially because she is a Black woman. The double standards in political discourse become glaringly obvious when any mention of her qualification is labelled as a racial attack. Critics have been painted as insensitive, while Harris’s selection as a candidate is brushed off as a grassroots movement rather than a calculated decision from the Democratic elite. It’s a classic example of trying to win an argument by playing the race card instead of addressing the real concerns about her leadership.
One particularly dizzying moment occurred when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer attempted to champion Harris as being nominated from the grassroots. This is a farce, to say the least. His performance was less rallying cry and more painfully awkward silence from the audience. It appears the only ones clapping were the party insiders who orchestrated this whole drama. Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter itself has expressed frustration at what they see as an attempt to “anoint” Harris without truly engaging the electorate in a democratic process. Yet, as Democrats cozy up to their established power structure, they forget they are playing with fire among their base.
As if the performance art of political theater wasn’t enough, the legacy media is actively working to scrub Harris’s record on immigration. Once dubbed “border czar,” the title has quickly become a political hot potato. Back in March 2021, Biden dropped this role on her, but now reports are contorting the situation to suggest she never held that title despite all the evidence to the contrary. In a stunning twist, media outlets like Axios have even retroactively updated their articles to absolve Harris of this designation, leaving critics to wonder what exactly she was doing while millions streamed across the border.
Lastly, even the internet itself is getting in on the action, it seems. Just days after Harris became the presumptive nominee, GovTrack deleted its page indicating she was the most liberal senator in 2019. It’s hard to escape the impression of a cover-up when the most right-leaning senator received a score of just 1, while Harris boasted a perfect score of 100. The revisionist history is startling, especially given the templatic transparency that GovTrack claims to uphold. Did Harris’s camp pressure them to alter history in her favor? It surely raises eyebrows.
One thing is clear: the Democrats are not playing nice in this race. They are spinning a web of narratives designed to mislead voters, bolster Harris’s image, and defend the indefensible. As the campaign unfolds, it will be crucial for independent voters and Democrats alike to peel back the layers of deceit to discern just what is really at stake this election season.
