Kamala Harris Candidacy Ethics Train Wreck

More From the Harris “She Isn’t What She Is” Campaign

First, the obligatory “How can anyone look at themselves in the mirror and support this woman and a party that would try to win an election by hiding what its Presidential candidate believes?”

Now the latest bit of deliberate obfuscation:

In April 2019, Senator Kamala Harris supported an electric vehicle mandate when she co-sponsored the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act of 2019. The bill, which was introduced by fellow far-left Democrats Senator Jeff Merkley and Representative Mike Levin, was promoted as a “bold plan for transitioning the United States to 100% zero-emission vehicles.”

Yet today, Harris’s director of rapid response, Ammar Moussa, wrote that “Vice President Harris does not support an electric vehicle mandate” and that any statement by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance that she does is a “lie.” Of course, the easy way to settle the issue would be for Harris to submit to questioning from reporters so she could explain how legislation designed to force the nation to have “100% zero-emission vehicles” isn’t a mandate, or why she now believes her 2019 position (announced as she was running for the 2020 Presidential nomination and thus a sop to the climate change hysteric Democratic base) was a wrong one, or why she disagrees with the Biden tailpipe emissions rule issued by the EPA that would by design force car manufacturers to significantly reduce the production of gas-powered cars. “The regulation would essentially require automakers to sell more electric vehicles and hybrids by gradually tightening limits on tailpipe pollution,” that relentless critic of Democratic polices, the New York Times, reported last March.

The Message, Not The Messenger…Ethics Quote of the Week: RFK, Jr.

Just because I would vote for a Muppet before I would vote for Kennedy, he accurately described not only why he has abandoned the corrupt and undemocratic Democratic Party, but why any Democrat with integrity should.

Ann Althouse chose basically the same excerpt from the speech that I would have, so I’ll give her the pointer on the official Ethics Quote of the Week:

Incompetent Elected Official and Ethics Dunce: VP Kamala Harris (Surprise!)

/ Jack Marshall / 12 Comments

This shouldn’t be hard to grasp: incompetence really does matter in a President, as does trust.

Kamala Harris had a private discussion with Benjamin Netanyahu, a head of state. Diplomacy 101 dictates that when sensitive matters are discussed, neither party to such discussion reveals the details of what is said, nor does either party make statements after the meeting that undermine either the relationship between the two individuals, nor their respective nations, nor the interests and objectives of those nations.

This isn’t hard, nor should it be.

But for Kamala Harris, it is. This is a problem.

Having met with the Israel Prime Minister, Harris initially said that the U.S. has an “unwavering commitment” to Israel, its right to exist and its security. She called Hamas a “brutal terrorist organization.” Then she said,

Stop Making Me Half-Defend Kamala Harris…Well, Maybe 1/3. Or 1/8?

The old Ethics Alarms Mailbag—okay, my email account—yielded an intriguing question from esteemed commenter JutGory, who wrote, “Should Harris be criticized for leaving up a tweet that she knows is not true, which she acknowledged in a follow up tweet? I know you have criticized people who have removed bad tweets as covering something up.  Then, is it unfair to criticize Harris?”

You remember the despicable Jussie Smollett, right? Ethics Alarms did several posts on this Fick. In 2019, Smollett, an African-American actor, claimed he was just minding his own business in Chicago on a cold winter night when he was attacked by two MAGA crazies in ski masks who doused him with bleach and slipped a rope around his neck while calling him racist and homophobic slurs. Smollett’s tale made little sense and immediately attracted suspicions that it was a hoax, which, in fact, it was. But Kamala Harris immediately posted the tweet above…because she’s a race-baiter and bigot, as well as an asshole. Never mind “believe all women,” Harris advocates “believe anyone who accuses MAGA supporters of being racists, no matter how far-fetched the accusation is.” Unity! Harris foments hate and division, because it’s good for Democrats, or so they think.

Busted! The “Completely Independent” Government Transparency Website” Proves It Is Just Another Democratic Party Propaganda Agent [Expanded]

/ Jack Marshall / 13 Comments

The effort across the news media and elsewhere in the Axis to distort Kamala Harris’s past record and documented positions sufficiently to render the public totally misinformed regarding the candidate whom Democrats are offering for President in November is rapidly reaching comic proportions. It reached Orwellian proportions some time ago.

GovTrack promotes itself as being independent, unbiased,and trustworthy. For five years, it included an entry on that esteemed site that ranked Harris as the most liberal U.S. Senator in 2019—more liberal than, for example, Bernie Sanders, who is a proto-Communist, and Elizabeth Warren, who advocates a confiscatory wealth tax, wants to cancel most student loan debt, proposes to break up Big Tech companies, and wants a $20 trillion “Medicare for all” program paid for by taxing the living daylights out of businesses. Kamala’s more radical leftist profile is not, one may assume, a policy agenda the majority of Americans favor, so our unethical journalists and related villains are trying mightily to convince voters that Harris “isn’t what she is.”
