The Latest Disingenuous Excuse For Harris’s Defeat: “No Daylight”
March 15, 2025 / Jack Marshall
Kamala Harris lost the election because she was an empty suit, DEI Vice-President who tried to fake her way to the finish line while
running one of the most incompetent campaigns in American Presidential
history. There’s no mystery. It didn’t help that she was inextricably linked to the worst administration ever, slowly being revealed as a four
year fraud on the American public. What’s the mystery? The constant,
futile and insulting efforts we keep hearing by apologists for the
Harris debacle are continuations of the denial and the “it isn’t what it is” gaslighting that has been the standard operating procedure for the
Axis of Unethical Conduct since 2016.
Now comes Amie Parnes at The Hill to explain the real reason the Worst Presidential Candidate Ever lost to Donald Trump. President Biden kept insisting that “there be no daylight” between the policies of his adminsitration and what Harris advocated on the stump, in interviews,
and in the statments of her surrogates: “Almost everywhere she went,
Harris walked among former Biden aides who sought to defend his
presidency. Her campaign was run by a former White House deputy chief of staff…and a phalanx of department heads who had served Biden until the previous month.”
Aw, poor Kamala! She had no choice but to follow the orders of…a
mentally fading failed President who was the lamest of lame ducks?
Harris was running for a position that represents the epitome of
leadership, and her defense for botching it is, “I had no choice! Joe
Biden told me I had to insist that everything about his Presidency was
perfect and that I wouldn’t change a thing!” My mother would have
responded to that childish “He told me to do it!” excuse with, “If he told you to jump out the window, would you do that too?”
The Hill’s argument defies belief as well as logic. It concludes,
Whether she won or lost the election, he thought, she would only harm
him by publicly distancing herself from him — especially during a debate
that would be watched by millions of Americans. To the extent that she
wanted to forge her own path, Biden had no interest in giving her room
to do so. He needed just three words to convey how much all of that
mattered to him. “No daylight, kid,” Biden said.
Followed, no doubt, by Joe asking, “Who are you again?” Biden had harmed himself beyond repair when he debated Trump, and he was concerned that
Harris wouldn’t make him look good?
These constant efforts to rehabilitate Kamala Harris are simply pathetic attempts to keep her political career from descending into the obscurity
it so richly deserves. Jeez, Democrats: the woman lost because she was terrible, you knew she was terrible, and you nominated her anyway. Own it.
