Harris Collapses On National Television — Again

Yesterday, 60 days into her campaign, Kamala Harris did her first nationally televised one-on-one interview. She chose official boot-licker Stephanie Ruhle of MSNBC to do it. 

In her previous interview with Dana Bash of CNN, Harris brought her emotional support, Renfield Tim Walz, to save her if she got in trouble and make her feel better by looking over at him every so often and petting her emotional support Corgi.

Last week, Ruhle excused Harris, saying she didn’t have to answer any tough questions: “One could watch and say she didn’t give a clear and direct answer. And that’s okay, because we’re not talking about clear and direct issues.” So, of course, the Harris campaign decided Harris would be interviewed by Ruhle.

And Harris made a fool of herself. She achieved the signal distinction of completely falling flat on her face in an interview with a person who was busily attempting to massage her with baby oil.

Kamala Harris has found a new way to fail: She flubs interviews with people who carry drool cups for her.

Harris began the interview, saying, “Gone is the day of everyone thinking they could actually live the American Dream.” At no point did it occur to her that she’s the current vice president of the United States.

“Part of my vision for the economy is, let’s deal with some of the everyday challenges that people face and address them with commonsense solutions such as affordable housing,” she said.

Affordable housing is her latest solution. Do you feel quieted now? Do you feel calmer?

She explained that it’s very important to have plans, and plans are really, really important. She was asked at one point if she’s so against the Trump tariff plan, why did she keep half those tariffs in place? And she said:

You don’t just throw around the idea of just tariffs across the board, and that’s part of the problem with Donald Trump. And frankly — I’m going to — and I say this in all sincerity. He’s just not very serious about how he thinks about some of these issues. And one must be serious and have a plan.

Yes, the unnamed plan.

“One must be serious.” Yes, quite right. She’s a serious person.

You want more babbling? Here we go. She started babbling about paying your “fair share.”

Ruhle asked Harris about wanting to raise taxes in certain areas, wanting certain tax credits, and so on, asking if she has a Republican Congress and can’t do any of that? What will she do then? 

Kamala had no answer. This is such a perfectly obvious question, and she had no answer whatsoever. She just started babbling about her “fair share.”

She was mentally flipping through — at very slow speed because she is not smart —  all of the various three by five note cards she stores in her head until she found one labeled “fair share.” The roulette ball fell into the roulette wheel and suddenly she was stumbling around and found “fair share”:

We’re going to have to raise corporate taxes, and we’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That’s just it. It’s about paying their fair share.

She had no idea what to say so she basically went with: “We have to do the thing.”

That’s not an answer. That is similar to being asked, “How are you going to drive to work this morning? The transmission fell out of your car. How can you get to work?” And giving the answer, “We have to get to work.”

She was asked a question. She actually started smiling when she got to the phrase “fair share” because she found what she thought was the right note card.

There is nothing going on up there, folks. She’s empty between the ears.

Don’t believe me? I have a “holistic” answer in which she explains how she approaches problems “holistically.” She gave an answer so “holistically” that I have no words to describe the stupidity.

Some of the work is going to be through what we do in terms of giving benefits and assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars, and looking holistically at the connection between that and housing, and looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing for working people.

That was three uses of the word “holistic” inside 10 seconds.

She is a stupid person.

Anyone listening to her and thinking, “Wow, higher intelligence at work,” is likely the sucker in the room.

‘Law And Order’ Actress Says She Feels Like A ‘Victim Of Secondary Trauma’ After Years On Show

“Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay said she feels like a “victim of secondary trauma” after dealing with dark subject issues on the show while being part of it for more than two decades.

Speaking to Interview magazine, the 60-year-old actress said playing detective Olivia Benson on the hit NBC series for 25 years has been a “process” of learning how to sift out the material she has to deal with about sex crimes on the show that were “ripped” from real-life headlines.

“When I started the show, I wasn’t aware of how deeply it would go into me,” Hargitay said during a chat for the magazine with Selena Gomez. “My husband Peter [Hermann] is always like, anytime I go anywhere, my first question is, ‘What’s the crime rate here?’ So it’s on the brain.” 

“There’s been times when I didn’t know how to protect myself, and I think I was definitely a victim of secondary trauma from being inundated with these stories and knowing that they were true,” she added. “Those were the parts that I didn’t know how to metabolize, just because of the sheer volume of it.”

Mariska Hargitay says “I was definitely a victim of secondary trauma” after acting on “Law & Order: SVU” for so long.

“That’s also why I started Joyful Heart [Foundation], so I would feel like, well, at least I’m doing something about it,” Hargitay continued, noting the non-profit she created in 2004.

The mission statement of her organization said it is “to transform society’s response to sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse, support survivors’ healing, and end this violence forever.”

“While we understand that our vision may not be achievable in our lifetimes, we firmly believe that violence and abuse are preventable,” it added. ”In support of our vision and mission, we have developed and adopted a set of values and guiding principles that inform and inspire our approach to all that we do…”

At one point, the actress also said, through her part in the show, she’s learned a lot about “sexual assault, domestic violence,” and “child abuse.”

“I learned that one in three women will be assaulted, and one in six men,” Hargitay said. “That’s what started the foundation for me. That’s when I started going, ‘I have to do something,’ because the show was obviously tackling the subject matter, but when I learned the statistics, I said, ‘Why isn’t everyone talking about this?’ And if I didn’t know, I figured nobody knows what an epidemic violence against women is.”
