In what must have ended up being an absolutely devastating blow to the ego of Vice President Kamala Harris, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre was asked during a press briefing to name some of the Democratic presidential nominee’s accomplishments and came up with absolutely nothing. That’s going to leave a mark on the old self-esteem, wouldn’t you agree?
According to a report from The American Tribune, Jean-Pierre was asked to name one policy achievement of Harris’ since she’s been in office and there wasn’t any. Can you imagine the horror that the press secretary felt on the inside when she could not come up with any positive achievement made by the vice president, who just happens to be the big name on the Democratic Party ticket for the 2024 presidential election? How embarrassing.
As background, VP Harris had been tasked by President Joe Biden with addressing the “root causes” of illegal immigration from Central and South America into the United States. Illegal immigration, however, has remained a large problem for the Biden-Harris Administration. Harris, however, has refused to put forward a campaign platform or address her record as VP in a serious way.
So, as she was named as President Joe Biden’s successor when he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, many in America are wondering what policies Vice President Harris supports and if they would be better or worse on the US-Mexico border than the Biden Administration has so far been.
Amongst those who wanted to know about the border situation, or even VP Harris’s record in general, was a reporter at the Monday press briefing. That inquisitive reporter asked KJP, “What does the president see as the vice president’s biggest achievement during their time in office together?”
KJP, as the press secretary is known as, could not provide an answer. In full desperation mode she made the claim, with zero evidence to support what she said, that the current administration has made “unprecedented” accomplishments. She told the press, “So look, because they’ve been partners … certainly those historic, unprecedented achievements have been done together.”
She then dug the grave deeper by saying Biden is proud of the vice president. This doesn’t answer the question though. Why is the president proud of Harris? What did she, you know, actually do? KJP then said, “I’ll say this, the president believes in the vice president’s leadership, her temperament, her experience. And he has said this himself, one of the proudest decisions he made in 2020 was selecting her as vice president because he believed she could go on day one.”
And the press secretary kept right on speaking. And also kept right on not giving any concrete examples of accomplishments attributed to Harris. She told reporters that Harris was instrumental , “critical” even, to the administration, saying, “I’m not going to parse out anything from here. They have been partners. She’s been a critical partner for this president during this term, and we’ll continue to do so.”
The reporter who asked the question was not at all impressed by Jean-Pierre’s answers, following up with:
“There’s no specific policy, it’s a comprehensive whole?” KJP then agreed with the “comprehensive whole” line and said that Team Biden’s accomplishments should be considered Kamala’s. She said, “I would say it’s a comprehensive whole. The Biden-Harris accomplishments are the Biden-Harris accomplishments.”
Still not giving any examples of vice presidential accomplishments, KJP spoke vaguely about Kamala’s roles in the Biden White House and Administration, saying, “She’s played a role, whether it is being on the floor of the Senate, getting really important legislation to pass through, or being in a room with the president and trying to figure out how to move forward strategically with a policy or how to make tough decisions on behalf of the American people, she’s been there.”
And this woman, Kamala Harris, is the one that has leftists nearly exploding with excitement? Someone who has been living off the tax dollars of hard working Americans and has zero to show for it? Harris has done nothing for the people of this nation. And that’s what she’ll do as president too.
