Harris Co-Chair: She Helped Biden ‘Do All the Things That Were Done’ by Him, ‘She’s Proud of That’
On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Harris-Walz Campaign Co-Chair Mitch Landrieu stated that while 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris is “her own person,” she “helped” President Joe Biden “do all the things that were done in the Biden time that she was there. And I think she’s proud of that,” and “For people who didn’t like Joe Biden, one of the reasons they didn’t like him was not because of his policies, one of the reasons was they thought that he was too old, and they said that over and over again.”
Landrieu said, “I think Joe Biden’s going to go down in history as being one of the most consequential presidents in the history of America, and she was his Vice President and she helped him do all the things that were done in the Biden time that she was there. And I think she’s proud of that, but nobody should be unclear on the fact that she has her own person, that is the point that she was trying to make to Donald Trump. For people who didn’t like Joe Biden, one of the reasons they didn’t like him was not because of his policies, one of the reasons was they thought that he was too old, and they said that over and over again. And by the way, they think that about Donald Trump as well. And so, what Kamala Harris is doing, by her very presence, and by her skills, is telling people, this is time for a new way forward. And I think that there’s a sense in America, amongst Republicans, Democrats, and Independents that we’re so tired of the old song that Donald Trump sings about how bad America is, how terrible everything is, having to wake up every day when he was president, thinking, what the hell did that guy do today and what’s he going to do to hurt us tomorrow? That they want to turn the page. And I think they’re painting a broad brush with Donald Trump and Joe Biden, obviously, on that issue.”
The Most Backhanded Endorsement in History: Taylor Swift Actually Snubbed Kamala Harris
A few observations:
First, did you notice that she didn’t mention anything that actually happened in the debate? If Swift watched it — like she claimed — and was so moved by Kamala’s performance that she had to make a political endorsement ASAP, it’s a weird thing to overlook. An honest, sincere person would be eager to share what moved them so much.
But I think we know the reason for Swift’s omission: This statement was written by someone else, several days (if not weeks) prior to the debate. And it’s probably gone through multiple drafts with multiple revisions. (It’s hard to delve into details about something that hasn’t happened yet.)
So, if it was a prewritten statement, why did Swift release it when she did?
Bob Lefsetz is a music analyst, critic, blogger and journalist. He’s also had his own misadventures with Swift, who (allegedly) wrote the 2010 hit song “Mean” as payback for his criticism. Like Swift, Bob Lefsetz is a leftie, and he was flummoxed by the timing of her endorsement:
“For someone supposedly so publicity savvy, to announce on the same night as the debate was a gross miscalculation,” he wrote. “You want to make your statement when it will get the most ink, the most attention, when it will have the most impact and spread. You don’t want to compete with another news story. …This was completely mishandled. Swift should have announced on the VMAs, where she will look big in contrast to all the gnats appearing. She should have waited for a slow news day. This is PR 101…”
What Lefsetz is missing is that Taylor Swift knew EXACTLY what she was doing. Do you really think the world’s biggest popstar — armed with gazillions of managers, agents, assistants, brand-builders and publicists — would drop a presidential endorsement(!) without premeditation? The entire thing was orchestrated from the beginning, probably weeks ago.
But what’s most telling is that Swift opted to drop her endorsement when it mattered the least.
In the PR biz, the best time to release bad news is when nobody’s looking. The Friday before a holiday weekend is the most popular release date. (Pro Tip: Pay close attention to government agencies on those kinds of Fridays, because they use this tactic a LOT.) The goal is to sandwich your negative story in between bigger, brighter, more memorable events and activities, so your reputational harm is minimized.
Taylor Swift — the most publicity-savvy entertainer of our generation — is treating her endorsement of Kamala Harris like it’s BAD news. This was the most backhanded endorsement in recent memory.
Yes he will, but not in the way Mr. Landrieu and other Dems think.

Remember When Kamala Harris Joked About Killing Trump?
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Sunday afternoon in Florida, just nine weeks after a previous attempt in Butler, Pa., has reignited concerns about the violent and hateful rhetoric coming from the political left.
Mere days before Trump was shot in Butler, Joe Biden declared, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.” Of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the violent rhetoric from the left.
For years, Biden and the Democratic Party have relentlessly compared Trump to Hitler, branding him a threat to democracy and a would-be dictator. Such rhetoric has continued to this day. Kamala Harris has been using incendiary rhetoric against Trump, just like Biden has. In fact, she once openly joked about killing him.

CNN Caught Doing Journalism, Calls Out Harris Campaign As ‘repeatedly deceptive’
CNN’s Daniel Dale has done the unthinkable. He took aim at @KamalaHQ, the official rapid response page on X for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. With over 1.3 million followers, the account has a wide reach, and according to Dale, “has made a habit of misleadingly clipping and inaccurately captioning video clips to attack former President Donald Trump.”
The account has been “repeatedly deceptive” and has made “inaccurate comments on multiple occasions,” Dale wrote. And he goes on to detail eight of the account’s most disingenuous posts from the last month.
He points out that all of these posts have been called out in real time by “an anonymous rebuttal account called @KamalaHQLies, which itself has more than 268,000 followers.”
I'm sure they'll be back to THEIR normal by primetime.
