I just have to say it. You already know it. You feel it. Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell.
In the nearly three months since the Democrat Party elite pushed President Joe Biden off the reelection train and his dim-witted vice president took his place, Harris and her No. 2 have brought us a nonstop buffet of weird and creepy campaign moments. As have their leftist political allies and their corporate media PR agents.
From Harris’ bizarre and cringy fake accents to the ticket’s bouts of explosive verbal diarrhea that not even “60 Minutes” can fix, the gruesome twosome are a political train wreck — and a campaign manager’s nightmare.

Let Them Smoke Weed
Harris, who has seen support among black male voters sink so badly that former President Barack Obama has gone on a “Shame on ‘the Brothers’” tour, recently rolled out a pandering “Opportunity Agenda” for black men. Interestingly, the proposal includes legalizing the recreational use of marijuana and “ensuring Black entrepreneurs have access to the growing cannabis industry,” USA Today reports.
My how things have seemingly changed. As former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has pointed out, Harris has bragged about her tough-on-crime stance against weed possession.
“She put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana,” Gabbard, who, like Harris, ran an unsuccessful campaign for the Democrat Party presidential nomination, said during a debate. She was referencing an interview Harris gave to “The Breakfast Club” in which cackling Kamala laughed about smoking pot in college.
While the accomplice media is fond of rewriting the political history of Kamala Harris, left-wing Rolling Stone hammered the candidate on her ganja prosecutions in a 2019 piece.
The far-left vice president’s positions, of course, have been “evolving” — at least since late July when she quickly attempted to burn her leftist record and put on a moderate mask. (See the Border Czar’s latest comments on illegal immigration, fracking in Pennsylvania, and a host of her other rapidly evolving positions.)
Harris and Walz are facing a trust gap with men in general, despite Tampon Tim’s efforts to win them over as a “regular guy” who can’t seem to load a shotgun during a pheasant hunt. Maybe that has something to do with their trans agenda, and we’re not talking Trans Ams.
“A lot of men think Democrats care more about dudes who want to become women than dudes who just want to be dudes. And no hunting, cosplay, or cringy videos [are] going to change that. The bed is made,” conservative pundit Scott Jennings said this week on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
He’s not wrong.
That’s Really Weird
Ultimately, Harris and her running mate are really running on two things: 1) Donald Trump bad. 2) Abortions good. Anyone who has even passingly followed politics knows the many ways the Biden-Harris administration has attempted to “save democracy” by crushing it — from weaponizing the Department of Justice against political enemies to silencing the speech of regime critics.
The abortion rally cry is central to their ridiculous claim to be the defenders and protectors of women, particularly childless cat ladies who really should smile more. The narrative is a bit of a stretch in the wake of revelations that Harris’ husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, has been accused of “forcefully” slapping his then-girlfriend and of being a world-class misogynist when he worked for a high-powered Los Angeles law firm. Emhoff did not deny the allegations during a recent interview with MSNBC’s resident toenail fungus, Joe Scarborough.
Of course, Second Gentleman Doug is no gentleman. In August he publicly acknowledged a Daily Mail report that he cheated on his first wife and knocked up the nanny. A “close friend” of the nanny told the publication that she “did not keep” the baby.
With less than three weeks before the election, the flailing Harris-Walz campaign and its media allies are trying to make Trump’s cholesterol some kind of October surprise. That should play well with the 100 million-plus Americans with high cholesterol. While Trump denies he’s part of the pack, he’s more likely to pick up sympathy votes from the pizza- and cheese-curd-loving voters who are members of the high-cholesterol club.
What’s really preposterous about the talking point is the fact that Harris, fellow Democrats, and corporate media for years tried to hide the current commander-in-chief’s alarming cognitive deficiencies that for so long appeared in plain sight. Not until Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Trump in late June did the Democrat Party machine acknowledge it had a political problem and hastily replace the demented president with his idiot, do-nothing vice president on the campaign trail.
It’s all crazy. Or as Tampon Tim might say, creepy and weird as hell.
