The lie Kamala Harris can’t escape
The only reason Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee rather than President Joe Biden is that Biden no longer has the mental capacity to do the job. But because Harris can’t admit this obvious fact, because it would expose her complicity in Biden’s lie, she was doomed to be an inherently inauthentic candidate.
This inescapable fact was driven home by two events this week, the first in Concord, New Hampshire, where Biden, in a rare campaign appearance for but not with Harris, told Democratic campaign workers that with respect to former President Donald Trump, “We’ve gotta lock him up.”
The Trump campaign immediately seized on Biden’s gaffe, with national press secretary Karoline Leavitt telling reporters, “Joe Biden just admitted the truth: He and Kamala’s plan all along has been to politically persecute their opponent President Trump because they can’t beat him fair and square.”
.................................
Biden’s blunder was particularly ill timed as the Harris campaign started to transition that day into its closing message that Trump was a fascist threat to democracy. It is hard to convince swing voters that Trump is the real threat to democracy when the president is all but admitting the Democratic Party is abusing the justice system to put its political opponents in jail.
The cleanup from Team Biden, however, was even more telling than Biden’s mistake. “For better or worse, no one is listening to him anymore, and his words have little power and less reach,” a Biden administration official told Alex Thompson. “It’s a blip. Gone in any meaningful way by midday tomorrow if it makes it that long.”
And the official was right. Biden is so irrelevant that the story was gone by the next day. But only because everyone understands that Biden is a mentally feeble old man to whom no one listens anymore, which only raises even larger questions: Why is a mentally incompetent man serving as president, when did he become mentally incompetent, and why did the Democratic Party clear the way for this mentally incompetent person to be the nominee?

No matter how much she denies it, Kamala Harris knew Joe Biden was unfit for office yet said nothing.
