The Left Keeps Justifying Harris Choosing Not to Talk to the Press
“If a press conference helps her win, she should do it. If not, she shouldn’t do it. It’s just that simple. She has no ‘moral obligation’ to talk to the press. Tone it down folks.”
The left and the media keep justifying presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris not talking to the press.
The paramount objective for @KamalaHarris is to win this election. If a press conference helps her win, she should do it. If not, she shouldn’t do it. It’s just that simple. She has no “moral obligation” to talk to the press. Tone it down folks.

To the people complaining about VP Harris not doing press conferences. She’s not going to stand and lie for an hour and until the media makes Trump do an honest presser she should continue to say no. https://t.co/eXqos7Fplz

“I imagine she will [do interviews]. I don’t know. But the way you communicate presidential campaigns is also a little different, in the TikTok era from the way it was in the network television…in the network TV era. And you also sit down with different kinds of people that in the TikTok era from what you did — you know, it — look. this is television. I don’t want to say anything disrespectful of television. But if we were on radio in 1950, wondering when is the candidate going to sit next to — next — his or her next interview on the mutual broadcasting system, they’d say, well, there’s this thing called television that has come along and it may be changing politics. And TikTok has done the same thing.

STEELE: “I want to shift gears on that a little bit, because I really— it would have struck me since Donald Trump’s press conference is the, sort of highbrow nature of the press coming out, lane Harris, saying what she, in my view, whining that she doesn’t talk to us, she hasn’t done a sit down with us, she has done interviews with us, and I watched that press conference and I go, well, you start actually asking real questions of Donald Trump and pressing him then that sort of creates a space of violence, but then I look at polling. You have the “New York Times” Siena poll showing Harris in battleground states, Michigan she is up by 44, Pennsylvania come up by 44, and Wisconsin up by four, 50-46 all within the margin of error, so, at one point you say strategically, why do I need to talk to you right now?”

I see people passing around a video of Peter Doocy reporting that Harris ditched her press pool.
CONTEXT: The vice president does not have a dedicated permanent pool. Harris is the only presumptive presidential candidate. She won’t get an official press pool until she becomes the official candidate after the convention.
They agreed in principle to a pool, but it’s not the same as a presidential pool.
I agree the move to ditch the pool looks bad, but it’s not shocking.
JUST IN: Kamala Harris literally *DITCHED* her press pool.🤣pic.twitter.com/C5VKQejwLK

{fake upper-class-twit accent} She’s… above that sort of thing you know! {/fake upper-class-twit accent}
No, crone-harlot, Harris, has no “moral obligation” to talk to the press; that’s true. But, such a haughty posture displays her nauseating and off-putting entitlement to higher office, her imperial arrogance, and, her contempt for the peasants of the proletariat at whose pleasure she supposedly serves.
I would disagree with her “moral obligation” to speak with the press. That bitch covered up the fact that the President was unfit and unable to fulfill his duties and no one is being held accountable. If we had a media that was independent of the DNC, reporters would be hammering her about that 24/7.
Agreed. When Pres. Trump is incommunicado for any brief time, they say he is “hiding.”
Harris kept squawking about how Pres. Trump was “afraid” to debate her, but now that Trump is calling for THREE debates, she is the one acting afraid.
This is just the latest manifestation of the “Biden in the bunker” approach to campaigning, and like that time, the Dems know they have to hide her because she is a loose Marxist cannon.
It seems clear that the Dems are following the Basement Biden 2020 strategy of minimizing public statements by their candidate. Since they perfected the way to win the vote count in 2020 there is no need for Kackala to do pressers to get votes.
They don’t need no votes, they got ballots. That’s all they need
So she is having a “…very good conversation with the American people…” , but it’s a rather one-sided conversation. The K-Team must have determined that the voters do not have a single question they would like to ask the candidate.
She’s following in Hillary’s footsteps. Remember when Hillary did her “listening tours” in 2016? She refused to have a single press conference for 9 months and the media gushed about how Hillary didn’t need to answer questions because she was too busy listening to the people. They’re trotting out the same old shit again. The DNC knows the media won’t attack a leftist woman or hold her to the same standard as a man so they’re pretending this is normal.
A conversation is where two people interchange ideas or opinions; reading a scripted speech from a teleprompter is not a conversation.
When she is unscripted, she is a disaster, or at least a visible disaster.
Well, then…all bets are off and the cheat is on.
Since Harris is incompetent, ignorant, lazy, inarticulate, impractical and wholly unsuited for any important position, it is clear that she is being run, not running, as a figurehead. Since we don’t know the composition or motives of those in control, we are in the dark and beat this convenient piñata. A better strategy would be to campaign against the system and refer to her only passingly as a tool. Keep pushing how the press and the rest of the system has been totally manipulating politics and that voting for Trump, however distasteful, is voting against the system. The message- if this is how you treat us, then yes, screw you, we will vote for the man-boy to teach you a lesson. It has to be a vote against the system with Trump as the tool since he is too off putting to win a majority on his on appeal. It should be a tool-against-tool election.
I will agree with you on everything but the “distasteful” aspect of voting for a non Marxist, and the “man-boy” dig. You don’t build a multibillion dollar empire being a “man-boy.”
You may dislike his personality, and that is perfectly fine, but insulting him is unnecessary; it’s not like you are marrying him. His policies work, and those of the left clearly don’t. Our foreign adversaries fear him, and out allies respect him.
Besides, what is there to like about Harris’ personality? Certainly, those in close proximity to her do their best to distance themselves.
If we win in November we should give the Pravda Media exactly the same amount of respect as Kamala.
No more questions available, no more questions answered, step out of line and break a rule and your banned.
It’s only fair. The press doesn’t want to talk to her either.
Seriously, though. Imagine the stress on an interviewer. If the interviewee breaks down, goes into reset mode, or otherwise does something that makes them look…like they really are, that video clip will be used endlessly with the interviewer sitting there like a statue, watching their candidate unwind over and over. And the Left will not blame the candidate. They will blame the interviewer. It would kill their career.
You say that as if there is some downside to it.
Of course she’s not going to speak off the cuff in public – she wants to win. She’ll hide just like Biden did because she knows every time she opens her mouth without a teleprompter (and often even with one) her election chances go down.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she “ditches” the press for the whole election. I seriously doubt that she’ll debate either. She’s going to rely on the fawning media to talk her up and there’s no way she’s going to endanger that by exposing herself as the air-headed incompetent that she is.
She’s getting millions if not billions of dollars of “in kind contributions” from the major media outlets right now…why throw that all away?
“Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.” Proverbs 17:28 (NIV)
Kamala is too stupid to go talk to the media. We all keep saying it , but don’t seem to realize how stupid she must really be, given that they let dementia Joe go and talk to the media. They had to have scripted and rehearsed questions, but they still let him. Kamala is apparently worse than that.
She absolutely has a moral obligation to talk to the press and the American people. She has no LEGAL obligation but definitely has a moral obligation.
Whatever happened to “by the people, for the people”? Whatever happened to the consent of the governed? The press is absolutely disgusting, and we the people are disgusting if we vote anyone into power that refuses to speak to us. Give me a friggin break…..no moral obligation my azz.
Her refusal to speak is an excellent way to goad her into responding.
She can’t refuse the bait.
We are definitely under no moral obligation to vote for her; in fact, morality would insist that we don’t.
She and many others, including the media, had a moral obligation to tell the people that the president had dementia. She and they did not.
I’m so surprised. The media has come to the rescue. She’s going to run a basement campaign and why shouldn’t she? A man who couldn’t think and stayed in his basement beatTrump. Of course this is what she will do. And as you can tell by the polls, Dem voters don’t care. Only Trump voters care. And that won’t change how she campaigns. It won’t move the needle.
The Only Trumpers have sunk us again. But who am I to criticize Trump? I’m just a heretic, a RINO, a member of the Uniparty, or maybe even worse, a Neo-Con.
And yet I vote Republican. The people Trump needs do not and will not. They hate him.
I do appreciate your self indictment and how you are helping the communist takeover with your willingness to stay the rino course
You have no idea how hard I fight. And that’s exactly my point. You think your way is the only way and you’re unable to make bets with positive expected value because you have elevated Trump to god status. And you can’t disobey god.
We have a real God. No need to invent others like the godless communist does. Trump is NOT a god, he is a man, a visionary, who also knows how to get stuff done.
Now scratch the micron thin veneer of this hate and provide the real reason for it.
For what?
I feel like these people forget she’s the fucking vice President
She should ride into the DNC in a SHORT YELLOW SCHOOL BUS!
why are they keeping lefty protestors blocks away from the dnc in chiraq!!?
same reason they are clearing the streets of the homeless ( and putting them into hotels)
alllll for the propaganda
we all know it
but every single lefty I know says they dont ever see any proof of the
border crisis
homeless crisis
etc
It should be obvious to all that the Dems plan to use the same strategy that Biden used in 2020. He hid in the basement and knew he didn’t have to campaign because of the ballot machine that was in his corner. Harris and company know the same thing and don’t care what the public thinks. The RNC has done almost nothing to rid voter rolls of fraudulent voters or dead people. They are all set to “Enforce” poll rules but that is not the problem area. It’s mail-in ballots that are filled out in the thousands by the same people. They also have not looked into proving the residences of the voters which last time showed thousands of voters lived in stores or vacant lots. I’m afraid the RNC is bringing a knife to a gun fight!
I wonder if CNN realizes that David Frum just said that CNN is obsolete
Remember the good old days, when candidates would basically talk to anybody because they needed much press as they could get? I guess when the Press is running your campaign for you, you don’t need to worry about it as much.
Anyone with a brain would not vote for someone who will not do a wide-ranging, unscripted news conference. The events and decisions a President can face do not come with a script you can read off a teleprompter. Trump should do frequent, unscripted “fireside chats” between now and November.
Voters don’t care that journalists are missing their moment in the sun. This is a poor use of time for the Rs.
“The paramount objective for @KamalaHarris is to win this election. If a press conference helps her win, she should do it. If not, she shouldn’t do it. It’s just that simple. She has no “moral obligation” to talk to the press.”
Now do releasing Trump’s tax returns.
