They kept her hidden for as long as they could. They gave her an unelected head start, but the Word Salad Queen still couldn’t get it over the line.

As uniquely disastrous as Kamala’s 60 minutes flaming train wreck of an interview is, remember that this is the most favorable edit the CBS partisans could make for her.

In a recent segment on 60 Minutes, Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, sat down for what was supposed to be a pivotal interview moment. However, for those skeptical of her political prowess and legitimacy, the interview only served to underscore the criticisms that have dogged her term because she – yet again – revealed herself to be useless.

From the get-go, Harris seemed ill at ease, her typical cackling smile not quite reaching her eyes. The interviewer, in a rare display of journalistic tenacity, didn’t shy away from probing questions, likely hoping to capture a moment of genuine insight or, at least, a soundbite-worthy gaffe.

The Substance (or Lack Thereof):

  • Border Crisis: When asked about the ongoing border crisis, Harris’s response was a masterclass in deflection. Instead of addressing the specifics or offering a concrete plan, she launched into a vague monologue about “comprehensive immigration reform.” To many, this sounded like a broken record, lacking any fresh perspective or actionable insight.
  • Foreign Policy: On foreign policy, particularly regarding tensions with China and Russia, Harris’s answers were, charitably, superficial. She spoke in broad strokes about “diplomatic efforts” and “strategic partnerships,” but the depth of understanding or strategic vision was conspicuously absent. For critics, this only confirmed her reputation as a policy lightweight.
  • Domestic Issues: The conversation veered into domestic concerns, with Harris attempting to take credit for various legislative successes. However, her explanations were often muddled. She seemed to struggle with connecting the dots between policy impacts and grassroots realities, leading to a narrative that felt disconnected from the everyday struggles of the American public.

The Performance:

  • Communication Skills: Harris’s oft-criticized communication style was on full display. Her laughter, sometimes inappropriate, seemed more a nervous tic than genuine amusement. Her responses, littered with filler “word salad” words, suggested a mind racing to find the next acceptable political soundbite rather than engaging in substantive dialogue.
  • Leadership Question: The interview did little to dispel the notion that Harris is more of a placeholder than a leader. Her inability to articulate a clear vision or strategy beyond the well-rehearsed lines provided by her team painted a picture of someone out of their depth, a “numbskull pawn” as some have less charitably described her.

For those of us who believe Kamala Harris was neither properly elected nor is suitable for the office she holds, this 60 Minutes interview was a confirmation of our doubts. It highlighted not just a perceived lack of substance, but also a concerning gap between her and the demands of her role.

“You weren’t elected” – “I’m proud to have been elected Democratic Nominee”

60 Minutes confront Kamala on the fact that she was not elected by The People, and was appointed by the DNC elite. “Was democracy best served by President Biden stepping down and basically handing you a nomination?…That’s not really the way our system was intended to work.”

Moron Walz

Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, now thrust into the national spotlight as Kamala Harris’s running mate in the 2024 election, faced his own grilling session with 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • The Trustworthiness Question: Whitaker didn’t mince words, directly challenging Walz on trust and truthfulness due to past misrepresentations. Walz, referencing his debate slip-up about being in Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square, tried to frame it as a minor mistake rather than a pattern of deceit.

    He played the “I’m a knucklehead” card, perhaps aiming for relatability but likely not soothing the doubts of critics. 60 Minutes: “You’re lying sometimes” Walz: “Yeah I do, but because I’m emotional … In contrast to Donald Trump who is a pathological liar.” We’re not sure that’s a good argument.
  • Campaigning with Harris: The interview also touched on his role in the campaign, where Walz positioned himself as a pragmatic advisor, drawing from his military background and gubernatorial experience. His attempt to pivot from personal to policy discussions was clear, focusing on his understanding of grassroots issues and national security.
  • Public Perception: The segment didn’t shy away from Walz’s perceived vulnerabilities, especially in light of his history with factual inaccuracies. For those skeptical of Harris’s leadership, Walz’s involvement only adds to the narrative of a ticket lacking depth or, in more critical terms, legitimacy.

This brief appearance on 60 Minutes did little to dispel the notion that Walz, like Harris, might be more of a political figurehead than a substantive candidate as he can over as a squirming untrustworthy idiot. For those already questioning the ticket’s credentials, this interview likely reinforced those sentiments rather than allayed them.
