NICOLE KIPRILOV: Harris’ Speech Was A Farce — But Republicans Should Not Underestimate Her

The general consensus among conservative commentators is that Vice President Kamala Harris’ Democratic National Convention speech last night was a complete farce. It was a 37-minute orchestration in which Harris failed to present significant policy solutions or a strong, hopeful vision for the future of this country.

But, similar to President Joe Biden, a puppet whose strings were and continue to be pulled, Harris is a trainable wind-up doll in the hands of dangerous actors. Wherever Harris lacks the competence to inject a radical practice or policy, you can be sure that one of her handlers will quietly step in.

This is exactly why it is critical for Americans to understand that Harris is not just perceived as a candidate with a horrible track record, but she is exactly what the Left needs to continue, and even accelerate, the Obama and Biden administrations’ destruction of America. And she could win.

In her DNC speech last night, Harris called Hamas a terrorist organization and stated: “I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself.” Does she believe this? Harris also said she would “secure our border.” Will she actually do this? These lines seemed strategically placed in the speech to try to sway moderate and undecided voters.

For the past three and a half years, and for many years before that, Harris’ actions have disproven many points she stated last night. As former President Donald Trump put it very simply in his reaction to the speech, if Harris actually wanted to address our most pressing issues, she could have already taken action in the Biden-Harris administration. Instead, the Biden-Harris administration saw nearly 300,000 illegal immigrant children unaccounted for, many of them likely victims of exploitation and forced labor. This is just one example in a vast sea of heartbreaking statistics that define this administration’s complete failure and betrayal of the American people.

As we listened last night, it quickly became evident that Harris’ speech would fit perfectly into the overall sentiment of the four-day DNC: a cacophony of scripted, dishonest voices. This was hours of forced emotions, robotic readings of cringey teleprompter speeches, and carefully curated performances like some nightmarish play where everything is staged and there is not an ounce of improv or authenticity. This was the complete opposite of what America is all about.

Despite all of the inauthenticity, culminating in Harris’ speech, there is still a chance that what we just saw could become our reality for the next four years.

Is every American going to be fact-checking everything Harris says? Probably not. She will say anything to get elected. Last night, she was prepared, she was polished, she was energized. She is radical and she is trainable. This is exactly what makes her and her operation dangerous.

We know the Left has strategists and operatives who are prepared to go to extreme lengths to ensure Harris beats Trump. The reason for that is simple: Trump is the only person currently standing in the way of the radical Left’s destruction of this country.

The reality is that Biden was a clearly incoherent candidate — completely lacking in the ability to convey any sort of message in the last couple of years. Leading up to his disastrous debate performance, many Democrats were finally at a point where they were ready to take a step back and truly question if they should be voting for Biden when Trump is objectively the better, more competent candidate under whom this country had seen prosperity and hope.

Last night, we witnessed someone who is a fraud but could actually become president of the United States. Do not underestimate Kamala Harris’ electability.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
