Kamala Harris spoke with Bill Whitaker of “60 Minutes” this week. The other one has almost no teeth. Interview with sympathetic nerve network.
Harris took questions mostly about softball, but she once again demonstrated why her campaign tries to minimize contact with the media and the public.
Less than an hour later, Harris claimed to have the same type of firearm he was trying to ban. He defended his abysmal record at the border. His talk centered on the question of whether mocking democracy is in the best interest of democracy.
Home defense is for me but not for you
“You surprised people by saying something like this recently.'' you If you're a gun owner and someone comes into your home –'' Whitaker said.
Ms. Harris interrupted, shook her head and laughed. “It's not the first time I've talked about it. It's not the first time I've talked about it.”
“Look, Bill, my background is in law enforcement. Well, that's fine.”
At a well-staged micro-rallies hosted by Oprah Winfrey in Michigan last month, Ms. Harris tried to portray herself as a supporter of the Second Amendment, with the ability to shoot and kill home invaders.
“I'm a gun owner too.” said Harris. “If someone breaks into my house, he will be shot.”
“Some people have made a really false choice suggesting that you're either pro-Second Amendment or you want to take guns away from everyone,” Harris told Oprah. “I'm forcing it,” he said. “I'm for the Second Amendment, and I'm for assault weapons bans, universal background checks, and red flag laws.”
After Mr. Harris's interruption, Mr. Whittaker asked, “So what kind of gun do you own? When and why did you get it?”
Harris said, “I have a Glock, and, uh, I've had it for quite a while. And, uh, I mean, look, Bill, my background is in law enforcement. And, uh. “That's fine,” he replied.
“Have you ever fired one?” Whittaker asked.
“Yeah,” Harris said with a laugh. “Of course I do. At the shooting range. Yes, of course I do.”
Blaze News previously reported that Harris was a patron of his time as district attorney in San Francisco. Proposition H — An ordinance prohibiting the manufacture, distribution, sale, and transfer of handguns in San Francisco. Law-abiding citizens would have been required to surrender their weapons without receiving compensation.
The proposal, which passed, was submitted by the National Rifle Association and others. legal challengedelayed enforcement long enough for a Republican-appointed judge to invalidate the ban in June 2006; show It said it was “invalid because it is preempted by state law.”
Undaunted, the future Glock owner continued her campaign to disarm her fellow Americans.
A year after threatening to raid the homes of law-abiding Americans and conduct random searches at gunpoint, Harris signed the 2008 legal brief with other left-leaning district attorneys. amici curiae Second Amendment Litigation Brief DC vs Hellerargued that a complete ban on handguns was constitutional.
The Second Amendment does not protect the rights of individuals, but rather the rights of “groups” or “militia-related,” according to the brief, which bears Harris' name.
Defense failure
In one confrontational moment in the interview, Whitaker told Harris: “You recently visited the southern border and supported President Biden's recent crackdown on asylum seekers, and that crackdown has resulted in fewer people crossing the border. “The numbers dropped dramatically almost immediately.” If that’s the right answer now, why didn’t the administration take those steps in 2021?”
Mr. Harris, who could not be stopped as a border czar tens of millions of illegal immigrants He rejected Whittaker's premise.
“But under your watch, that number has quadrupled.”
The border czar once again suggested that the solution lies with Congress, despite President Donald Trump's evidence to the contrary, calling for a failed He touted his partisan border bill as a panacea. .
Whitaker countered that while the border crisis did not begin with the Biden-Harris administration, it helped make it worse than ever.
“The first three years of this administration saw a historic flood of illegal immigrants crossing our border,” Whitaker said. “In fact, the number of people entering the country has quadrupled compared to last year under President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen immigration policies so much?”
Harris sidestepped the question, insisting: “The solutions are out there. And literally from day one, we've been providing them.”
Immediately after the Biden-Harris administration took office, stopped The flow of government funds toward building the border wall, which Harris previously campaigned against, and in the months that followed. took additional measures Terminate the construction contract. In addition to ending President Trump's “Remain in Mexico” policy, the Biden-Harris administration will continue to implement efforts in nearly every state in Texas and other states to stem the flow of illegal immigrants to Mexico and deport noncitizens who have committed crimes. He also disputes the effort.
Whittaker tested Harris one last time to see if she would admit fault or show remorse, asking: “Was it wrong to allow that flood to happen in the first place?”
“I think the policies that we've been proposing solve problems, not promote them, right?” Ms. Harris said.
“But that number quadrupled on your watch?” Whittaker struggled to get the words out between interruptions.
Harris claimed to have cut the flow of illegal immigration in half and doubled down on her previous suggestion that “we need to make sure Congress can act to actually solve the problem.”
avoidance of democracy for democracy
“Has democracy worked best by bypassing the traditional primary process?” Whitaker asked Harris, referring to what some are calling a “coup.” Ta.
Harris told an interviewer on “60 Minutes” that she “won” the delegates who were ripped away from Biden by kicking her to the curb.
“Everyone knows there was no real primary this year.”
Mr. Biden was kicked out of the race after a disastrous debate with Mr. Trump in late June, despite securing an overwhelming majority of 3,933 sworn delegates in the primary. In most cases, these delegates were selected in the primary because they had promised to vote in the primary. Biden.
Within 32 hours, Ms. Harris snatched her boss's hard-won delegates, citing policy loopholes. Rule 13J Description of delegate selection rules. Harris did not receive a single vote in the primary, which not only rendered the Democratic primary completely meaningless, but also eliminated her from the race. have to compete Contrary to other prospects at the public Democratic National Convention.
“She ran against him,” Trump said of the 2020 election at a town hall in September. [Biden] In the primary. She failed to get the votes and was the first to leave the party. …he got 14 million votes [in 2024]And they kicked him out. ”
“That's really coup d'etat If you think about it,” Trump continued. “And the last woman who came, the last one who came [became the nominee]. ”
Even left-leaning publications acknowledged that Harris was an “undemocratic candidate.”
For example, slate noticed “Everyone knows there was no real primary this year. Democratic voters didn't have a chance to say at the ballot box who their ideal candidate should be in 2024. This is the first time since 1968 that delegates have chosen candidates without having to do so.
Harris told Whitaker, “I am proud to have been elected as the Democratic nominee with the support of a majority of delegates.”
In addition to revealing how she became the Democratic nominee, Harris suggested that she is now a defender of democracy.
“I am honored to have the support of leaders from all backgrounds and walks of life in this country to fight for democracy in next month's elections,” he said.
