In a masterclass of political theater, Vice President Kamala Harris and her merry band of surrogates, along with a complicit media, have decided that the best way to attack Donald Trump is by playing a game of verbal charades with a comedian’s poorly chosen remarks. The tactic? Tossing around a few out-of-context sound bites and hoping the American public will take the bait.
For three long days, the left has been pushing the narrative that Trump’s statements mirror what a comedian said in jest. It’s as if they believe that social media outbursts and stand-up routines serve as a legitimate platform for political discourse. Apparently, in their world, if someone who tells jokes says something outrageous, it might as well be carved into granite and labeled as presidential policy. This desperate tactic reveals how thin the Democratic bench really is when it comes to genuine critiques of Trump’s policies.
As expected, once the media got wind of Harris’s new strategy, they fell right in line. A press release from the Vice President’s office made its rounds, ensuring that every correspondent was primed to regurgitate this farce. Instead of focusing on real issues, like inflation or border security, headlines became fixated on what might have been said in a comedy club rather than in the halls of Congress. The urgent matters facing the nation were conveniently sidelined, all in the name of a sensational story that could only resonate with the media’s own echo chamber.

What’s even funnier is how this entire situation highlights the ever-dwindling arsenal of ammunition the left has against Trump. Instead of firing genuine policy critiques, Harris and her team are reduced to repackaging someone else’s failed humor as a primary campaign strategy. It’s almost as if they need to dig up a comedian who told a bad joke and treat it like a new revelation of Trumpian misconduct—a bit like calling in the Avengers to fight off a neighborhood cat.
And yet, while they indulge in this elaborate charade, Americans are busy buying groceries and filling up their gas tanks. It’s abundantly clear that real issues are being swept under the rug while the Vice President tries to score cheap political points, all while appearing tone-deaf to the struggles of everyday Americans. Whoever thought the comedy scene would become the new ground zero for political discourse must have missed the memo that the only real punchlines happening right now come courtesy of hard-working families feeling the effects of poor governance.
