In the modern political landscape, where every day feels like an episode of a poorly scripted reality show, the notion of credibility often takes a back seat to image. This becomes especially evident when examining the case of Kamala Harris, the current Vice President, who appears to have adopted a role she isn’t equipped to fulfill. Once hailed as a rising star who would definitely bring some gravitas to the political stage, she instead seems determined to showcase her shortcomings at every opportunity.
Once upon a time, Harris was celebrated for her time as California’s attorney general and her position as a district attorney in San Francisco. These titles alone were supposed to carry weight, presenting her as a tough-on-crime prosecutor ready to take on the world. Yet, the current reality reveals a different story. The reality is that someone who should have honed critical thinking, persuasive communication, and courtroom readiness is instead fumbling through high-profile appearances like a cat on a hot tin roof. Whether it’s a town hall with Anderson Cooper or playing catch-up in the Biden administration, her performances often resemble a misguided improvisational class rather than the commanding presence expected from someone in such a high office.
For those who have actually worked in the trenches—where the stakes are high, and lives hang in the balance—the contrast becomes painfully clear. The work of a litigator is nothing short of grueling. It requires endless preparation, mastery of the law, and the ability to think on one’s feet while facing unyielding opposition. Trial attorneys endure long hours and sleepless nights to build airtight cases. The effort involved is nothing less than demanding, serving to sharpen not only one’s mind but also one’s resolve.
Since my tweet from last night took off, I sort of expanded on it…

Yet, when looking at Harris, one has to wonder what the trial experience truly amounted to. Sure, she can string together a few soundbites and rehearse a narrative, but when scrutinized more closely, the substance appears to be lacking. For someone with her supposed legal acumen, there’s an alarming absence of that complex, strategic thinking that makes a skilled attorney shine in a law setting. Instead of confidently standing her ground, she often appears adrift, relying on scripts and talking points while under the spotlight, illustrating a clear disconnection between her claimed expertise and her actual performance.
Many have noticed the inconsistency—how someone who claims to have taken on the toughest cases and faced daunting challenges can’t seem to muster the courage or coherence when addressing pressing issues facing the nation. The reality is that while Harris plays the part, she doesn’t hold up under the scrutiny that true legal professionals willingly invite. The chasm between her carefully crafted image and the reality of her capabilities speaks volumes.
In the end, Harris’s tenure suggests that simply donning the title of “prosecutor” doesn’t automatically confer the wisdom, experience, or readiness needed to serve at the highest levels of government. While she may be playing a role, the show is riddled with inconsistencies and inauthenticity. The mantle of serious leadership requires more than just a well-spoken facade—it demands the grit and tenacity developed through reality, experience, and hard work in the courtroom. As Harris continues her performance, the American people are left to wonder if she ever truly grasped what it means to be a prosecutor, and, more importantly, if she is ready to lead.
