After watching Vice President Kamala Harris’s incredible slog of a town hall-style interview Thursday on Univision, there’s absolutely no way her support among Latino U.S. voters is going to do anything but bottom out.
That was the most excruciating hour-long campaign session I can recall and it’s not even close. The peak of the event was when she hollered at a non-English speaker who asked an innocuous question about the Democrat primary process, which Kamala skipped over before being hoisted up as the party nominee.
That guy was named Mario and he identified himself as a 70-year-old from Uruguay. He said President Biden seemed to have been pushed aside and that he was inclined to vote for Donald Trump, but that he was still undecided. He asked Kamala to clarify the process under which she was anointed the new nominee.
After a quick glossing over of how she was able to get delegates to rally behind her — admittedly, that’s how party politics works — she ventured off into a weird and angry screed about Trump being a dictator (never heard that one).
She told her elderly and confused questioner to “look up” the ever-so-fearsome Project 2025 with all the warmth of an annoyed waiter telling someone to scan the QR code to pay his bill. She screamed about a rumor that Trump was sending Covid tests to Russia. The guy just stared at her.
It was wild and I could feel Kamala’s aides wince as it played out live. The truth is that the vice president is simply uncomfortable campaigning in front of non-English speakers because she doesn’t understand them. And she doesn’t understand the public at large.
She’s not a real person— she’s a product.
Kamala is the Democrat presidential nominee because she was placed there. She’s vice president because she was placed there.
Other moments throughout the event further revealed Kamala to be a nervous and uncomfortable candidate for president. From the beginning she sounded like a drunk person, her speech remarkably slow. She offered the same answers to a unique audience that she has done in every interview before, which is some variation of “I come from a middle-class family” and “Americans have dreams and aspirations.”
The national news media are otherwise helping her so bad but it still lands like a gymnast with no ankles.
This is Kamala without the “joy.”
