Last night’s presidential debate reaffirmed the one thing Americans must remember when they go to the polls in a few weeks: Vice President Kamala Harris is an over trained, over-scripted con artist and puppet of the Radical Left who, if elected, will spout carefully crafted lies while operating behind the scenes to destroy our country.
With the media’s help, as we saw last night in ABC moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir, Harris continued to lie, flip flop, and leave the American people with more unanswered questions than ever before. (RELATED: CHRISTIAN WHITON: The Big Trump-Harris Debate Informed Little, Changed Less)
Make no mistake: Harris is no amateur. Her debate performance, although fraudulent, was sharp.
She is a coachable candidate who memorized and rehearsed key phrases with the intent of deflecting and distracting from where she actually stands on the issues and her failure to implement solutions as vice president for three-and-a-half years.
When asked about border security, Harris deflected on her role as the “border czar” and instead placed the blame for the deadly illegal immigration crisis on Trump, who is not the incumbent. Harris did not talk about Laken Riley, Rachel Morin or Jocelyn Nungaray — three young girls who were murdered by illegal immigrants as a direct result of Harris failing to secure the border.
In fact, she did not mention a single victim of the border crisis that she exacerbated, and the moderators certainly did not press her on it.
When asked about the disastrous and botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was a decision Biden made with Harris as the last person in the room, Harris put forth the narrative that Trump, through negotiations with the Taliban, was somehow responsible for the botched withdrawal. Harris neither mentioned nor was asked about the 13 brave service members who tragically lost their lives during the withdrawal as a result of the Biden-Harris administration’s gross incompetence and prioritization of wokeism in the military over the execution of the mission at hand.
We know for a fact that, to date, Harris has yet to contact the families of the service members.
In addition, neither Davids nor Muir questioned Harris about the newly released report from the House Foreign Affairs Committee that indicates the Biden-Harris administration chose political optics over security at every step of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Yet another example of Harris skillfully lying to the American people while silently destroying the country is the fact that more than 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children under Harris have been placed into vulnerable black and Hispanic communities nationwide. These children are then targeted and trained by violent gangs, like MS-13 and Tren De Aragua.
This crisis is wreaking havoc on vulnerable communities — the very people that Harris is falsely claiming to support. It is those communities that are suffering the most under Harris’ failed leadership as vice president. Instead of pressing her on this, the moderators last night openly attacked Trump with a question on racism.
Perhaps most importantly, when Harris was asked if we are better off today than four years ago, Harris ignored the question, started talking about her childhood, and went on to say she has a plan to build an opportunity economy. Davis and Muir, acting as her campaign surrogates the entire time, blatantly allowed Harris to get away with ignoring the most important question of the night.
There are many more examples of lies, flip flops and unanswered questions. This debate last night comes on the heels of Harris dodging the press for 50 days and desperately attempting to fully erase her horrific record as vice president.

A true public servant earns the public’s trust by answering the tough questions. Instead, Harris is a skillful con artist and pawn in a broader political scheme to destroy America.
Last night was an opportunity for Harris to deliver the transparency and accountability the American people expect and deserve. Instead, she presented exactly zero coherent policy solutions, resolved exactly zero flip-flops on key issues, and answered exactly zero questions about why she is fit to lead.
If Kamala Harris becomes president, she will be looking the American people in the eye with feigned care, and lying to us that she has our backs, while she simultaneously works diligently to destroy the very fabric of this country.
