Associated Press Fact Checker Ripped Over Absurd Fact Check of Kamala Harris Affair Claims

/

Vice President Kamala Harris has been thrown into the political spotlight follow Joe Biden’s decision not to stand for re-election.

Journalists and political activists are in the process of pouring over Harris’ track record – both personally and politically – which has been somewhat subdued with the ever-swirling questions over Biden’s future.

Now those questions are answered, the attention has turned to Harris, with one aspect of her life coming under scrutiny.

One such examples is her affair with Willie Brown.

In the mid-1990s, Harris and a married Brown dated while the latter was Speaker of the California State Assembly. She was 29 years old and he was 60. Brown, who was significantly older and politically influential, appointed Harris to two well-paying state commissions – the State Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission. The move drew intense scrutiny and allegations of favoritism.

Harris has since developed her own political career following the culmination of her relationship with Brown. She became District Attorney of San Francisco in 2004 before becoming California’s Attorney General in 2010. Her six-year tenure was marked with controversy – something which all-but ended her maiden presidential campaign in 2019.

The so-called “fact checkers,” who are really just opinion checkers for the left, decided to attempt to “debunk” claims about Harris related to this, and the desperation was hilarious. The Associated Press “fact checker” attempted to argue that it’s not true Harris had an affair from a married Brown because the two were separated at the time (while legally married).

Many on social media mocked the supposedly “missing” context.

Others couldn’t help but laugh.

So, what’s the context?

Viral X Thread Reveals Why You Should Think Twice Before Voting For Kamala Harris

Barring another major shock in a rollercoaster presidential election campaign, Kamala Harris is set to be the Democratic Party’s nominee to take on Donald Trump in November.

The hope – at least among Democrats – is that Harris may rejuvenate support for the party after weeks of political unease over President Joe Biden, who everyone now views as a stumbling, bumbling mess. It’s a sad state of affairs when someone with the “speaking ability” of Harris is considered a monumental improvement over Biden.

For voters who may be swayed by the possibility of “President Harris,” commentator John LeFevre listed a myriad of reasons as to why they may want to think again.

To launch her first presidential campaign, Harris celebrated by posting a race-baiting tweet in defense of hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett. Despite no evidence of a physical assault ever taken place, Harris compared the “attack” to a “modern day lynching.”

For crimes which actually have been committed, Harris has contributed to fundraisers (and encouraged others to do so too) in support of Black Lives Matter rioters.

Kamala has since become Vice President – a task which has involved diplomacy with a hostile Russia prior to its invasion of Ukraine. Her peace mission was a success, and deterred Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion by a whopping 24 hours.

The fact remains that Harris’ appointment is likely a move to deter Black voters from siding with Trump. However, it’s important to remember the actions she has taken against Black Americans as Attorney General of California.

She is, undeniably, a DEI candidate…

…and, in more recent years, she has overseen one of the biggest border crises in the history of the United States.

Biden Admin Beefed Up Secret Service Protection for Ukraine’s Zelensky While Denying It to Trump

The Secret Service has come under heavy scrutiny since the attempted assassination on Donald Trump on Saturday, July 13.

It is hard to deny that it’s not underserved criticism, either. At the end of the day, a shooter accessed an open rooftop around 400ft away from the former president – it’s a miracle, if not divine intervention, that he lived to tell the tale.

Naturally, the Secret Service’s failures that day sparked a wider investigation into the agency. Prominent conservative lawyer Mike Davis has been pursuing this intently and is currently campaigning for lawmakers to scrap a bill which would remove Trump’s protection should he be imprisoned.

On social media, Davis highlighted how a 2022 visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky required “beefed up” Secret Service protection, with D.C. officials reportedly treating it as a “mini-state visit.” However, requests by the Trump campaign for further security have repeatedly been denied due to a “lack of resources.”

Many on social media were critical of the previous decisions by Government officials.

Others highlighted additional examples where Secret Service resources were perhaps questionably prioritized.

For one user, the news only presented more questions than answers.

The fact is that state visits by world leaders are carefully choreographed events where access to them by deranged would-be assassins is usually extremely restricted. A former president, on the other hand, has a more flexible schedule and requires constant protection in case someone takes issue with a previous policy enactment. There is also an argument that American politicians should be prioritized by American security.

The list of questions is only growing.

“Clip That Ended Kamala Harris’ First Presidential Campaign” Goes Viral As Joe Biden Steps Aside

Joe Biden’s landmark decision to step down on Sunday, July 21, was expected.

Realistically, the President’s chances of beating Republican candidate Donald Trump were slim to none. Failing to clear an already low bar in the CNN presidential debate in June marked the beginning of the end for Biden 2024, while confusing the names of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin – both of whom are at war with each other – was an international embarrassment.

The Democrats knew their fate with Biden was an inevitable defeat; with Vice President Kamala Harris, there’s an (arguably overly) optimistic hope of securing the White House for another four years.

As she is thrust into the presidential spotlight, it’s worth remembering that Harris has ran for the highest office in the land before. In 2019, Harris ran for the Democratic Party presidential nomination in a year-long campaign. Despite a promising start, Harris’ polling numbers stagnated around 10% before she eventually dropped out in December of that year.

In the wake of Biden’s announcement, social media users shared a clip “that ended Kamala’s first presidential campaign” where Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard criticized her actions as Attorney General of California.

Some on social media took the opportunity to reminisce about Harris’ previous presidential campaign.

Others criticized Harris for her “two-faced” political stance amid fears she may try to “guilt trip” minority voters towards her campaign.

Highlights from her tenure as Vice President were also posted, including her detailed breakdown of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Wife of WaPo Columnist Who Argued Trump Is Russian Asset Is Indicted for Being Unregistered Foreign Agent

Taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others—schadenfreude—is one of the main attractions of social media spots like X/Twitter. Of course, whether taking that pleasure is justified is in the eye of the beholder/

X user Jarvis is certainly indulging it with the news he highlighted this week:

As you can see from the screenshot, Max Boot of the Washington Post, like most mainstream media, happily kept the false narrative about Donald Trump being a Russian puppet alive and kicking. The storyline that Trump was working for the Kremlin was just too delicious for leftist media to stop before they’d savored every last bite. 

But similar allegations are hitting much closer to home for Boot. His wife, Sue Mi Terry, has just been indicted on charges of acting as a agent for a foreign government. Terry is a former member of the White House National Security Council and used to work for the CIA. 

The indictment alleges that she worked on behalf of South Korea without registering as a foreign agent as required by law. Specifically, she is accused of pushing for policies favored by the South Korean government, and of disclosing sensitive U.S. information to South Korean government officials. 

The indictment filed in federal court in Manhattan claims Terry did this work in exchange for luxury gifts such as handbags from designers like Gucci, and for cash. Terry’s lawyer says the accusations are false, and that his client is a respected scholar and foreign policy analyst. 

Whatever may eventually wash out in court, social media users are tickled that a journalist who helped keep falsehoods about Trump circulating will now have to contend with similar issues in his personal life. 

Jarvis, the original poster, set the tone:

Do we detect some mockery of the left’s constant claims of being victimized in this exchange?

It’s clear that much of the public is absolutely fed up with the “do as I say, not as I do” lifestyle of today’s leftist elites.

Alt-Right Leader Announces Support For Joe Biden Over GOP “Zionism” Criticism

Richard Spencer, once branded by the liberal media as the “leader of the Alt-Right” during the 2016 election election as they tried to link him to Donald Trump in an effort to push their endless “Trump is racist” narrative, is voting for Joe Biden in 2024.

The far-right activist Richard Spencer announced his support for Biden following Trump’s selection of J.D. Vance as his running mate. While it took a bit of goading for him to reveal why, Spencer said on social media that “it is only within the Democratic Party where criticism of Zionism is allowed.”

As is always the way with social media, Spencer’s endorsement of the President was met with ridicule.

Indeed, the alt-right’s shift to the woke left may seem miniscule in the grand scheme of things, but it does give Trump a little boost; the White supremacist, neo-Nazi, antisemitic mob are now on the side of those who chastised him for the best part of a decade.

Joe Biden Says He Will Consider Dropping Out If He Had A Medical Condition Hours Before COVID-19 Diagnosis

Joe Biden’s re-election campaign has been a trainwreck so far – and there’s no signs of things getting any better.

Democrats are deserting a President who many voters see as simply too old and mentally absent to serve a second successive term. His gaffes – becoming evermore public and evermore embarrassing – seem to be an overriding subject in his attempt to retain the White House.

The examples are countless. Footage went viral from Biden’s latest interview with the Black Entertainment Television network, where forgot his own Defense Secretary’s name and referred to him as “the Black man.” Biden also said he would perhaps step aside if he was diagnosed with a medical condition in that same interview.

This came just hours before the interview aired, Biden was “coincidentally” diagnosed with COVID-19.

For some, the subject of Biden’s comments had already happened.

Dropping out of the race this early would also raise questions over whether to finish his first term as President.

Riley Gaines had the best take:

Sometimes, it can be painful to watch Biden onstage as his bumbles and fumbles his way through an incoherent sentence.

Then again, his obsession with political power somewhat suspends sympathy. A politician since 1973, Biden has been a lawmaker for over half a decade, and only secured himself the top job at the age of 77.

Even then, Biden’s 2020 campaign initially poised him as a “transition candidate” with many expecting him to relinquish the reigns to Vice President Kamala Harris. Four years on, and Biden is still in charge – whether that remains the case is a subject of ever-increasing doubt.

Joe Biden Mocks Veteran’s Service Record In Call With House Democrats

Joe Biden Mocks Veteran’s Service Record In Call With House Democrats

The recent assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump marked a temporary distraction from Democrat disgruntlement with President Joe Biden.

Calls for Biden to withdraw from the race to the White House have grown since a disastrous debate on CNN – only silenced as political battlelines were temporarily halted in the aftermath of the shocking events in Butler, PA.

As the political theatre has returned to bitter battle, as have the calls for Biden to step aside.

Prior to the shooting at the Trump rally, Biden held a meeting via Zoom with House Democrats to discuss his political future.

Democrat sources reportedly described the President as “rambling”, with one stating his performance “was even worse than the debate”.

Worse still, Biden allegedly mocked a veteran’s service during the tense call – a true blow given that it was one of the few moments where he arguably won against Trump during the debate.

The incident came when Rep. Jason Crow, who served three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and received a Bronze Star, expressed concerns about the President. In response, Biden launched a fiery rant about how he had “put NATO together” before claiming his deceased son Beau Biden – also a Bronze Star recipient – had shown more accomplishment than the Colorado lawmaker.

According to one report: “The Biden campaign did not, however, dispute this next part, about Crow and his Bronze Star. In a video of the Zoom that I was able to view, you can hear Biden chastising Crow, who asked about the importance of national security to voters. “First of all, I think you’re dead wrong on national security,” the president says, the emotion at times garbling his words. ‘You saw what happened recently in terms of the meeting we had with NATO. I put NATO together. Name me a foreign leader who thinks I’m not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy. Tell me! Tell me who the hell that is! Tell me who put NATO back together! Tell me who enlarged NATO, tell me who did the Pacific basin! Tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son—and I’m proud of your leadership, but guess what, what’s happening, we’ve got Korea and Japan working together, I put Aukus together, anyway! … Things are in chaos, and I’m bringing some order to it. And again, find me a world leader who’s an ally of ours who doesn’t think I’m the most respected person they’ve ever—'”

For some on social media, Biden’s ability to continue has been thrown into major doubt.

Biden’s claims were also subject to ridicule.

Biden’s performance – or lack thereof – has left many Republicans hoping he remains in the race to confirm an inevitable Trump victory.

Joe Biden Denounced J.D. Vance Faster Than He Denounced the Trump Assassination Attempt

The attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump sent shockwaves across the American political system.

In a rare show of unity in an ever-divided United States, Republicans and Democrats rallied round the GOP presidential nominee; condolences were offered to the victims, condemnation towards the shooter.

By some miracle, Trump survived the attempt on his life, and has since returned to the political atmosphere by attending the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, WI, to confirm his position as the GOP’s presidential candidate for November’s election.

After months – if not years – of speculation, Trump finally named his running mate – Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. If elected, Vance will become the country’s youngest Vice President since Richard Nixon served under Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953.

Naturally, Trump’s pick drew the ire of President Joe Biden. Within 23 minutes of the announcement, Biden had already attacked Vance having already created a graphic criticizing the newly announced GOP ticket.

On the contrary, it took Biden one hour and 43 minutes to post about the assassination attempt on Trump.

For sure, Biden may have strongly condemned Thomas Matthew Crooks’ actions on Saturday, July 13, but the rapidness at which he sought to attack Trump’s new appointment perhaps speaks volumes.

There is some uncertainty over whether Biden will even be Trump’s opponent at all in November. His evident decline in his physical and mental ability to run the country has raised doubts among some of his strongest Democratic allies, while the President himself has admitted he is only sharpest during certain times of the day.

Stop for a Chuckle: Online Jokesters Say Illegals Saved Trump

When a would-be assassin nearly killed President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday, July 13, his survival looked like a miracle – because it was. You’ve probably already seen this incredible photograph that caught the bullet that nearly killed the 45th president, in mid-air, just a microsecond before it clipped his ear. 

The U.S. Sun has an illustration that shows just how close Donald Trump came to death. At just the exact right moment, Trump turned his head away from the crowd in front, allowing the bullet to graze his ear. If he hadn’t, it would have gone straight through his brain. 

Serious questions are being asked (shouted, really) across the political spectrum. How did the shooter manage to get onto an empty rooftop with a clear line of sight? How did the Secret Service not notice him? Why did so many police apparently ignore spectators who were pleading with them to notice the man on the roof and take action before it was too late? 

But what caused Trump to turn his head? It was this chart:

Every honest American knows we have been invaded by at least 10 million illegal aliens under President Joe Biden’s watch. It’s undeniable that the Biden administration wants this to happen, as they’ve done next to nothing to stop the influx, and taken action to worsen it, all while bleating that it’s Republicans’ fault (even though the Democrats control the federal government). 

Really, what else can they do? The chart says it all. When Trump cracked down on the problem during his administration starting in late 2019, the number of border jumpers dropped precipitously. And then Biden took office, and the bars on the chart reached up like Manhattan skyscrapers. 

The Twitter/X user who posted the chart injected a bit of much-needed humor into what has been an awful weekend for Americans. 

Others took a similar approach with absurd silliness like this:

And the laughs just keep on coming. 

Especially in times of woe, laughter is often the best (or only) medicine. But there’s always that one party pooper.
