CNN’s Michael Smerconish slams ‘nearly invisible’ Kamala Harris: ‘She has had a free ride’

By Published Aug. 19, 2024, 10:09 a.m. ET

CNN host Michael Smerconish threw cold water on Democrats’ enthusiasm for their “nearly invisible” nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris,warning that she isn’t “indestructible” and will eventually be “held accountable” for her record and policy positions.

Smerconish took aim at Harris on Saturday for refusing to subject herself to tough questioningfrom reporters about what she would do as president since she was handed the nomination last month.

“She has served as an undistinguished, nearly invisible vice president.”

Smerconish noted that “there appears no accomplishment she can point to for her most important responsibility, addressing the origin of the border crisis.”

His comments were reported by the news site Mediaite.

“Thus far, Harris has had a free ride,” Smerconish said. “She hasn’t given any media interviews, hasn’t faced voter questioning.”

The host noted that Harris pledged to give an interview with the press by the end of the month, adding: “She said that on August the 8th!”

Smerconish called out Harris for reversing her positions on several issues, including “health care, fracking, weed and the death penalty.”

He also said Harris would soon need to answer for an economic agenda that has so far been met with “mixed reviews.”

“Sooner or later, she’s going to be held accountable and face pressure that she has thus far largely avoided,” Smerconish said.

Smerconish also called for greater scrutiny of Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who may turn out “to have as many warts as [Ohio Sen.] JD Vance.”

He cited a recent CNN report that found that Walz’s 2006 campaign for a congressional seat made false statements about details of his 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving.

The Post has sought comment from the Harris-Walz campaign.

New York Times Writer is Astounded Kamala Harris Would Come Out with Soviet-Style Price Controls

"It's impossible to exaggerate how bad this policy is…"

New York Times writer David Brooks slammed Kamala Harris' economic policies and expressed disbelief that she would advocate for price controls.

"Catherine [Rampell] had a good line that if your opponent’s calling you a communist, don’t lead with price controls," Brooks said. "We have seen it happen in Venezuela and the Soviet Union."

"Price controls do not work."

Brooks argued the worst is over when it comes to inflation, yet Kamala Harris would make things worse by pursuing economically illiterate policies.

"But the core problem is it expresses a level of economic illiteracy that is surprising in a responsible Democratic candidate."

"The idea behind 'greedflation' is we had all those years of low inflation and I guess people were not greedy then. Then magically they all get greedy and start price gouging at Kroger, Harris Teeter, HEB, and there’s this massive price gouging."

"That’s not why inflation surged. Inflation surged because of the pandemic, which screwed up supply chains and productivity. The Biden Administration overstimulated the economy, too many dollars chasing too few goods…"

As Vice President, Kamala Harris supported every bit of Bidenomics, thereby making it Kamalanomics.

Furthermore, she passed the tie-breaking votes in the Senate on Biden's signature pieces of economic legislation, including the Inflation Reduction Act and the American Rescue Plan.

The worst thing about Kamala Harris blaming "greedy" corporations for inflation is she is probably more guilty than any other elected official for causing it in the first place.

(This is why dems didn't want her to announce her policies till way after the DNC Convention.The worst part is they agree with her policies)

Kamala just took an ultra rare question from the press on how she plans on paying for her economic plan

She used the phrase “return on investment” 4 times in one minute and says she’ll reduce “child povracy” by 50%

She’s either nervous, drunk, or both

Not ready for prime time
