"Kamala Closes an Already Disastrous Week by Trashing Gold Star
Families"

<https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/09/01/nolte-kamala-closes-an-already-disastrous-week-by-trashing-gold-star-families/>

'Incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris closed out what was already a
terrible week with a desperate flail trashing 13 Gold Star families that
then blew up spectacularly in her stupid and incompetent face.

First, let’s review the last seven days.

As I said last week, Kamala Harris is running a terrible presidential
campaign. After six of the best weeks any presidential candidate has
ever enjoyed, six weeks filled with billions and billions of dollars in
free corporate media cheerleading and propaganda, it all fell apart at
the Democrat National Convention.

No Post-Convention Bounce

A country gripped by the cruelty of record inflation, two horrific
overseas wars, an explosion of violent crime, and a wide-open southern
border pouring the horrors of the third world into once-idyllic places
like Aurora, Colorado, America was looking for answers, a vision, an
idea of where the next president planned to lead us. Instead, Kamala
delivered policy-free pablum, empty rhetoric, a hate campaign against
Trump, and happy talk. The result…

Plenty of spooging from gerbils like CNN’s Jake Tapper, but no
post-convention poll bounce.

In the RealClearPolitics average poll of national polls, on the last day
of her convention, Kamala enjoyed a national lead of 1.7 percent over
former President Trump. Today her lead is 1.8 points. In context, on
this same date in her losing campaign, Hillary Clinton had a 4.9 point
lead.

Barring some unforeseen event, which is always possible, Kamala has
peaked, her peak is a statistical tie, and the polls always
underestimate Trump’s strength.

Losing the Debate Fight She Started

The rules for next week’s presidential debate between Harris and Trump
were all set and agreed upon. Then, for whatever dumb reason, Kamala
launched a bizarre, week-long whining spree to change the rules. This
not only made her look weak, she lost a fight she’d started, and this
made her look like what she is—incompetent.

McDonaldsGate

A big part of Kamala’s drive to create a myth around her political rise
involves the repeated claim she worked at McDonald’s while attending
college. It’s become a central part of her biography. It was front and
center in a recent campaign ad.

Thus far, though, no amount of reporting has been able to validate her
employment at McDonald’s

Thus far, the Harris campaign has not been forthcoming with details that
could verify that claim.

I’m only a year younger than Kamala. In 1982, I worked at a McDonald’s
in Delafield, Wisconsin, for a few months (for the record, I was their
worst employee, and now look back on those months with shame). See how
easy that is?

If Kamala did lie, this is not something the corporate media can weasel
her out of as they did Tim Walz’s stolen valor. She either did or
didn’t.

That Disastrous CNNLOL Interview

Kamala had six weeks to prep, she had Obama’s A-Team prepping her, she
had a sycophantic interviewer in CNN’s hideous Dana Bash, she had a
sycophantic network desperate to make her look good, and… Kamala still
blew it.

Incredibly, she had no answer for what she would do as president on day
one. She had no answer for her supposed flip-flops on radical ideas
she’s held for two decades. She looked diminished, unsure of herself,
and, above all, unpresidential. The optics of the interview, the dark
warehouse look was bad enough, but Kamala looked like a little kid
finally allowed at the grown-up table. Her decision to bring running
mate Tim “Stolen Valor” Walz along made her look especially weak. Then…

On three different occasions, the open border/outlaw private
insurance/defund the police/free healthcare for illegal aliens/ban
fracking/San Francisco radical stupidly told the world, “My values
haven’t changed.” Within hours, the now firing-on-all-cylinders Trump
campaign used that statement to launch one devastating meme after
another.

Those stupid words will haunt her straight through to November.

Above all, Kamala stepped right into the Trump campaign’s narrative that
she cannot handle the pressure of going off-script.

And then, on Saturday afternoon, came the big finale…

Kamala Trashes 13 Gold Star Families

Kamala’s insanely stupid and cruel Saturday afternoon tweet accusing 13
Gold Star families of agreeing to act as props so Trump could politicize
the death of their loved one was unquestionably the act of a desperate
campaign panicking over internal poll numbers and hoping to change the
narrative on the Sunday shows away from her disastrous CNN interview.

In the history of unforced presidential campaign errors, this one’s a
doozy…

That tweet is the act of a drowning campaign looking for any kind of
life preserver.

Kamala has bragged about being the “last one in the room” when the
calamitous decision was made to surrender Afghanistan to terrorists
before all of our people and billions of dollars in weaponry had been
removed. That’s why these 13 men and women died.

Worse still, according to these 13 families, neither Biden nor Kamala
has ever reached out in any way to them, not even to offer their
condolences. We all know why. These 13 heroes died needlessly due to
Biden’s and Kamala’s dreadful judgment and now Kamala wants their
inconvenient memory forgotten, memory-holed, and discarded. Naturally,
the craven corporate media have done everything to aid and abet this
moral crime, but…

President Trump has been there for them every step of the way. And… They
invited him to share their anniversary visit to Arlington. They asked
that this solemn moment be photographed as a tribute. They also say they
invited Biden and Harris to attend the Arlington and never even received
a reply.

Nevertheless, on a Saturday afternoon, after what seemed like an unwary
truce between the 13 families and the Harris campaign, a desperate
Kamala looked at her falling poll numbers and broke the truce by
smearing these families with the false claim they had visited Arlington
as a political stunt.

The families quickly and righteously fired back with the kind of raw
intensity that hits voters where they live.

Here’s a small taste…

'As we have seen through the decades, American voters are willing to
forgive a presidential candidate almost anything—lies, infidelities,
scandals, mistakes…. What they will not tolerate is incompetency.

Trashing Gold Star families is amoral, but it is also as incompetent as
it gets. '

That is why she is surging ahead
of Trump in EVERY poll.

Which candidate is that "terrible"
for, again?
