Democrat presidential selectee Kamala Harris had a difficult time justifying why she replaced Joe Biden as the party’s nominee during an NBC interview on Tuesday.
NBC’s Hallie Jackson asked, “Can you say that you were honest with the American people about what you saw in those moments with President Biden, as you were with him again and again, repeatedly, during that time?”
Harris replied, “Of course, Joe Biden is an extremely accomplished, um, experienced, and, um and-and capable in every way that anyone would want of their president. Absolutely.”

Harris started bumbling after being asked about her own judgment regarding her apparent failure to notice Biden's cognitive decline.

Hallie asked her if she had ever witnessed any other instances of Biden’s cognitive decline that he demonstrated during his disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump on June 27.
Kamala dismissed the question, saying it was “a bad debate. People have bad debates.”
But Hallie cornered her, pressing, “But that’s the reason why you’re here and he’s not running for the top of the ticket.”
Harris responded, “Well, you’d have to ask him if that’s the only reason why.”
Hallie asked, “What do you think?”
Harris replied, “I’m running for president of the United States. I speak with not only sincerity, but a real firsthand account of watching him do this work. I have no reluctance in saying that.”
Yikes.

As Infowars reported, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, along with former President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, reportedly threatened Biden with the 25th Amendment if he didn’t drop out of the presidential race following his terrible debate performance against Trump.
Harris’s performance during her Telemundo interview on Tuesday wasn’t much different, where she struggled to make her case for giving illegal aliens mass amnesty.
“Oh, but there’s no question that, uh, migrants bring- America is a country that is, was built in part by immigrants,” Harris said.

This is brutal.

Harris’s decision to remain in Washington, D.C. for these two interviews rather than hit the campaign trail in key swing states with just two weeks left until Election Day raised concerns among Democrats, according to journalist Mark Halperin.
“It’s a choice they’re making. I think a lot of it has to do with the amount of preparation time she wants and requires for the interview she’s doing today, for the town hall she has coming up, but there is head-scratching amongst Democrats, two weeks to go, someone who’s fighting for the presidency, and she’s spending the day in Washington,” Halperin said Tuesday.
