Dems can only escape Kamala Harris’ woeful record by censoring bad news of admin’s failures
Censorship is the only hope for increasingly desperate Democrat grandees as Kamala Harris flounders in swing states and among Hispanic voters against Donald Trump.
The vapid candidate they installed at the last minute is shaping up to be even less palatable to voters than her predecessor Joe Biden. Apart from her off-putting personality and inability to string together a coherent sentence, her biggest liability is the illegal migrant invasion.
As Biden’s designated border czar, Harris cannot evade responsibility for the irreparable damage on her watch, after 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens entered the country, including hundreds of thousands of criminals and terrorists.
She can’t pretend it wasn’t deliberate because there are too many video clips on social media showing her past statements of support for far-left open border policies, including free Medicare for illegals and the reward of a rapid “path” to citizenship.
She made a brazen attempt Friday to remedy the toxic politics by posing as a border hawk and trying to flip the tables on Donald Trump with a 20-minute photo opportunity at the Arizona border, dressed in a combat jacket in 99-degree heat and a chunky gold necklace reportedly worth more than $60,000.
But the stunt backfired under the weight of its own absurdity and the fortuitously timed release of new Customs and Immigration Enforcement data showing that over 600,000 illegal migrants with criminal histories or pending criminal charges have been let loose in the country. That includes more than 13,000 convicted murderers and 15,000 convicted rapists.
Misinfo on disinfo
With damning facts piling up about Harris’ woeful record, the Dems’ only escape route is to censor bad news about the border, the economy and other failures of the Biden-Harris administration and try to bury Harris’ history of radical pronouncements which put the lie to her new fake persona as a moderate.
This is why you have heard two former secretaries of state, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, bemoaning the existence of the First Amendment in recent days, using similar language about the need to “break the fever” of disinformation by electing Harris.
Clinton has even called for criminal sanctions against Americans who share “misinformation.”
Of course, disinformation or misinformation is whatever Democrats find inconvenient, as we learned when the New York Post’s accurate reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop was censored before the 2020 election because it was damaging to his father’s presidential campaign.
Kerry, not being the brightest tool in the Dem shed, let the cat out of the bag Wednesday in a World Economic Forum panel on Green Energy during the UN gabfest in New York City.
Referring to “climate misinformation,” Biden’s former globe-trotting climate czar launched the most astonishing diatribe attacking freedom of speech which he claims is the only thing standing in the way of “consensus” — a k a the Democrat narrative.
“The dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing,” said Kerry. “It is part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue.
“It’s really hard to govern today.”
1st Amendment stands
Kerry moaned that Americans no longer trust the “referees we used to have to determine what is a fact and what isn’t a fact,” presumably meaning propaganda mouthpieces at outlets like The New York Times that used to reliably regurgitate his climate lies.
Horror of horrors, now people have alternative sources of information and “self-select where they go for their news or for their information and then you just get into a vicious cycle, so it’s really, really hard to build consensus [and] there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities,” he said.
But, sadly for Kerry, the pesky First Amendment acts as it was intended by America’s Founding Fathers, to be the foundation of freedom and a protection against authoritarian control by people like Kerry and Clinton and Harris who think they know better than the rest of us.
A simple survey of their “achievements” says otherwise.
“If people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick and has an agenda and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just hammer it out of existence,” Kerry lamented.
“So, what we need is to . . . win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change . . . Democracies are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges that we are facing and, to me, that is part of what this election is all about,” he said.
“Will we break the fever in the United States?”
Controlling ‘narrative’
Clinton used the same language on the weekend when she accused Trump of doing what she and her fellow Dems are doing.
In an interview with “Firing Line” host Margaret Hoover, she accused the media and social media of failing to present a “consistent narrative about the danger that Trump poses,” and warned that the Harris campaign had plans to “combat both domestic and foreign false disinformation.”
She also told a Canadian interviewer that “when she [Harris] defeats Trump, maybe the fever will break.”
If this is what they say in front of the camera, you can only imagine the plans they are hatching behind closed doors.
If Harris does win the election, the dark clouds of censorship will descend on America, just as they have in the UK, Europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
