Yes, Kamala is basking in the post-Joe glow - and Trump is panicking... but now MAUREEN CALLAHAN reveals the SIX fatal secrets about Harris's dirty past, her lies and hypocrisy that she'll wish you didn't know

Just because Joe Biden isn't tin of being president doesn't mean Kamala Harris is.

Yet we are now suffering done different unthinking coronation by nan wide media, their affectional incontinence soiling immoderate iota of captious thought.

The awesome exhale aft pushing retired Biden – a president shunted into powerfulness by a Democrat elite that knew, each excessively well, really compromised he was, cognitively and different – has fixed measurement not to reassessment but to re-enactment.

Rather than study from their past, Dems and their constitution enablers are basking successful a post-Joe glow while making nan aforesaid correction again: unifying down a campaigner who is patently unsuited to nan job.

To elite Kamala Harris would beryllium disastrous for galore reasons, slightest of each this: It would mean that America, aft realizing that a protector authorities whitethorn person been successful power for nan past 4 years, is perfectly comfortable pinch electing different figurehead. A puppet.

A patient governmental statement would beryllium successful revolt. But not nan Dems, who tin assuredly constituent to Harris's surging canvass numbers.

Some surveys already person her overtaking Donald Trump successful plaything states, while her support standing steadily rises.

Hollywood loves her. The megadonors are backmost to nan tune of $200 cardinal and counting. The statement has coalesced astir Kamala while Team Trump finds itself, conscionable weeks aft nan attempted assassination, connected nan backmost foot.

Kamala's ascendancy is simply a 'sucker punch', according to Trump's moving mate J.D. Vance, who was recorded speaking freely astatine a fundraiser successful Minnesota connected July 21.

'The bad news,' Vance said, 'is that Kamala Harris does not person nan aforesaid baggage arsenic Joe Biden… [she] is simply a batch younger [and] evidently not struggling successful nan aforesaid ways.'

All true. And Trump is already connected nan defensive, retired beforehand making race-baiting remarks astir nan pronunciation of Harris's first name, blasting her arsenic 'crazy' and seemingly moving frightened from agreeing to statement her.

Meanwhile, Vance is struggling to excavation himself retired of nan 'childless feline ladies' remark — 1 that, successful a post-Roe era, lands terribly pinch female plaything voters.

So, yes, Trump and Vance are successful caller terrain. But this Harris bump will end.

Why? Simply put, Kamala Harris is not nan champion candidate.

She is not nan brightest. She is simply a governmental hack, a mediocrity who — for illustration her existent leader — recovered herself nan beneficiary of luck and timing alternatively than grit and intellect.

If thing binds Biden and Harris, it's this unfortunate trait: Both look to know, heavy down, that they're frauds. That their ambition agelong agone outstripped their competence.

It's why Biden is fixed to cringeworthy displays of what he sees arsenic machismo: The 'make my day, pal' threat to Trump pre-debate, aliases nan oft-told communicative of taking down 'Cornpop' astatine nan organization pool.

Real reliable guys don't show you they're tough, conscionable arsenic genuinely smart group don't show you they're smart.

Kamala ne'er seems rather comfortable successful her ain skin, and that's a fatal flaw successful a statesmanlike candidate.

Even her ex-lover Willie Brown, nan now 90-year-old erstwhile Mayor of San Francisco who helped ease her measurement into politics, doesn't deliberation Harris has what it takes.

Harris, arsenic he precocious told Politico, suffers from 'the Hillary syndrome… group don't for illustration her.'

And erstwhile Harris has to speak for herself and do truthful off-the-cuff, she can't.

Here is conscionable 1 illustration of her tautological connection salad, aft a wide shooting successful Chicago successful 2022:

'We've sewage to return this worldly seriously', she said to section press, 'as earnestly arsenic you are because you person been forced to return this seriously.'

There's a logic that nan HBO satire 'Veep' — successful which Julia Louis-Dreyfus played a vainglorious, incurious, power-mad politician who lucked into nan Oval Office — is enjoying a resurgence.

'The crazier authorities gets,' showrunner David Mandel said recently, 'the much 'Veep' holds up.'

Except 'Veep' ne'er predicted Trump. And it seems astatine slightest 1 statement elder had to beryllium dragged complete to Team Harris.

Yes, nary different than Barack Obama, who called for an unfastened nominating process astatine nan Democratic National Convention successful a written connection conscionable hours aft Biden announced he would measurement aside.

'I person bonzer assurance that nan leaders of our statement will beryllium capable to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges,' Obama wrote.

Kamala Harris went unmentioned.

One would deliberation that Obama, of each people, would quickly get down nan candidacy of nan first female president, herself black. But no.

'Obama is very upset,' a root told nan New York Post past week, 'because he knows she can't win'.

As nan wide media luxuriates successful 'Kamalot' and 'Kamalove', let's look astatine why Obama — contempt latterly joining woman Michelle to publicly, awkwardly endorse Harris — mightiness good beryllium distressed.

And why apical Dem strategist James Carville says he is judge Harris's precocious support ratings will autumn erstwhile this honeymoon play ends.

'She's going to get slaughtered,' Carville said past week.

And why Squad personnel Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, days earlier Biden stepped aside, took to societal media to uncover that nan statement itself had doubts astir Harris.

'If you deliberation location is simply a statement among nan group who want Joe Biden to leave… that they would support Vice President Harris, you would beryllium mistaken,' she said.

Let's count nan reasons why.

No.1: Harris owns nan border

Despite attempts by nan wide media to claw backmost Harris's assignment arsenic Biden's 'border czar', it is indisputably existent that she was deputized arsenic such.

'Harris, appointed by Biden arsenic separator czar, said she would beryllium looking astatine nan 'root causes' that thrust migration' – that's a study from Axios dated April 14, 2021.

By nan extremity of this administration, an estimated 10 cardinal migrants will person crossed into nan United States illegally.

Among those are perchance hundreds of known terrorists. And past there's nan chartless number of 'gotaways' who person evaded separator control.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott told Fox News connected Monday that Harris has contacted him 'zero times' passim her tenure.

Here's Harris during her infamous June 2021 question and reply pinch NBC's Lester Holt, who asked why she still hadn't been to nan border:

Harris: 'We've been to nan border.'

Holt: 'You haven't been to nan border.'

Harris: 'I haven't been to Europe.' [Awkward cackling] 'I don't understand nan constituent that you're making.'

No 2: She has many times vouched for Biden's beingness and cognitive health

Harris has done this for years, insisting arsenic precocious arsenic February that 'we person a very bold and vibrant president successful Joe Biden… Our president is successful bully shape, successful bully health, and is fresh to lead successful our 2nd term'.

There are only 2 explanations for this: Either Harris was kept truthful acold retired of nan president's loop, privy to thing of importance, that she had nary thought he was successful specified unspeakable shape.

Or, much apt to my mind, she lied to nan American group retired of self-interest.

No.3: She's an alleged bully

Since taking agency arsenic VP, Harris has had a unit turnover complaint of almost 92 percent, according to a apical authorities watchdog.

Such churn-and-burn has apparently been a Harris hallmark passim her 2 decades successful nationalist service.

She is reportedly well-known for cursing retired her staff, for chasing her astir talented hires retired nan door, and refusing to publication her briefing books, past exploding astatine her unit for being unprepared.

'It's clear that you're not moving pinch personification who is consenting to do nan prep and nan work,' 1 ex-staffer told nan Washington Post successful 2021. 'With Kamala, you person to put up pinch a changeless magnitude of soul-destroying disapproval and besides her ain deficiency of confidence. So you're perpetually benignant of propping up a bully and it's not really clear why.'

Again, Harris shares these failings — nan alleged lashings-out astatine loyal staff, nan tantrums and nan blame-shifting — pinch President Biden. It each speaks to personification intellectually, interpersonally incapable of executing nan astir stressful occupation successful nan world.

No.4: Even for a politician, she's peculiarly craven

After accusing Biden of backing historically racist policies during a televised June 2019 statesmanlike statement — causing Biden to reportedly opportunity during a commercialized break, 'Well, that was immoderate f***ing bull****', and everlastingly earning nan enmity of Jill Biden — Harris, who dropped retired of that title pinch a 3 percent support rating, accepted his VP slot.

Biden, remember, caved to unit to prime a achromatic female arsenic his moving mate.

She has besides shamelessly shape-shifted from being a tough-on-crime prosecutor, who oversaw much than 1,900 marijuana convictions, to a pro-defund-the-police ally.

Now, of course, she's backtracking erstwhile more, tacking center, and boasting of her clip successful rule enforcement.

No.5: Zero overseas argumentation acquisition and zero backbone

Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish, yet Harris caves to nan radicals successful her ain party, refusing to be Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wartime reside to Congress past week.

When she yet did meet him, Harris warned Netanyahu that 'I will not beryllium silent' complete Gaza and that while Israel 'has nan correct to take sides itself' (how condescending), 'how it does truthful matters'.

Days later, Hezbollah launched rockets into an Israeli playground, sidesplitting 12 children and injuring galore more.

No.6: No stated premise aliases philosophy

'We're not going back' is nan emerging Harris slogan, and I will opportunity this – it's ingenious.

It allows nan elector to task immoderate meaning they like, and for women, galore will surely construe this arsenic a telephone to reconstruct reproductive authorities successful full. Such is nan minefield nan Trump-Vance summons must navigate.

That said, Harris has nary existential logic for running. She has nary record, nary existent origin to show aft 4 years arsenic VP.

Right now, she's moving connected nan fumes of alleviation and emotion, nan effort to move her into your 'cool vino aunt', a Gen Z 'brat' who is messy and relatable – but this each has a very short support life.

If Kamala Harris can't task confidence, intent and a real, actionable agenda, she will stay thing but a figurehead — different quiet suit that nan existent Dem powerbrokers put guardant arsenic their latest useful idiot.
