The left has officially entered the realm of absurdity by attempting to compare Kamala Harris to Barack Obama. This is not merely a case of misplaced admiration; it borders on delusion. Recently, Molly Jong-Fast, a notable voice on MSNBC, asserted that Harris possesses oratory skills akin to those of the former president, a claim that is so outlandish it’s hard to keep a straight face.
Harris, it would seem, has been endowed with the title of “gifted orator.” This assessment is laughable, considering her infamous word salads that often leave listeners scratching their heads. While Obama could deliver stirring speeches that inspired entire nations, Harris has a tendency to create confusion, delivering statements that resemble the ramblings of a sitcom character rather than a serious political figure. Every time she opens her mouth, one can’t help but reminisce about Selina Meyer from “Veep”—a character known for her lack of substance paired with a flair for the theatrical.
Left-leaning tax policy center finds that 80.4% of Americans would see a tax cut in 2018. The average decrease would be $2,140. Only 4.8% would see a tax increase.https://t.co/2UVcvrom6d pic.twitter.com/52F9uDx90Z

In a recent segment, Jong-Fast proclaimed that America was ready for Harris, claiming she commands attention with confidence. The reality is far from this rosy picture. Harris’s public appearances often lead to public eye-rolls, not applause. Her avoidance of interviews underscores her well-known struggle with the media. Instead of demonstrating any sense of command, she produces cringe-worthy moments that leave viewers wondering how she ever made it this far in politics.
The recycling of narratives by Harris and her supporters is not limited to her supposed eloquence; it extends to the discredited talking points tossed around by Democrats for years. Jong-Fast’s attempt to criticize Trump for “recycling” attacks is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. It’s no secret that Democrats have long leaned on the tired trope of resurrecting the same old arguments, especially the false narrative of Trump benefiting only billionaires. In fact, the Trump tax cuts proved beneficial for the working class, as evidenced by comments from more honest leftists like Bernie Sanders, who famously acknowledged the economic uplift brought on by tax reforms.
Furthermore, Jong-Fast’s assertions come at a time when facts tell a different story about tax policy and its impact on Americans. Data from reputable organizations indicates that a vast majority of Americans felt the effects of the tax cuts, often seeing significant decreases in their tax burden. While the Democrats shriek about the alleged injustices wrought by these policies, the reality is that working families saw the opposite: benefits that were substantial and lasting.
The ridiculous notion that Kamala Harris could be lauded in the same breath as Barack Obama showcases the sheer desperation of liberal commentators. It’s almost entertaining to witness how they cling to hope while facing a political landscape that looks increasingly bleak. As they roll out claims and counter-claims about greatness, they risk undermining what little credibility they have left. It turns out, in the battle of rhetoric, it’s the left who really needs a lesson in oratory, and not from the likes of Kamala Harris.
