Willie Brown’s ex, Kamala Harris, wants to head the executive branch. This rambling, cackling race hustler wants to be commander in chief. She wants to do a lot of things, none of them good, because she heads the Democrat ticket. Regardless of what she wants, no matter what she says, Phony Kamala is just that: insincere. Nothing she says is intelligible. Nothing she says about herself is true. Nothing she says about America or America’s place in the world is intelligent, because she knows nothing about domestic or foreign policy.

Things only worsen when she goes off script, when she has no lines to memorize or words to guide her. When she has no aides to prompt her or is without a teleprompter, when she has no help whatsoever, Phony Kamala makes Joe Biden sound smart. Nothing Democrats say on Harris’s behalf can make her sound credible. Nothing Democrats say against President Trump, no matter how incredible, can make voters believe Harris is capable. And yet Democrats will nonetheless try to convince us that Harris is sound, that she has the judgment to do what is right or the will to fight what is wrong.

No one should even try to convince us that Kamala Harris is worthy of the job of president. No one, after all, believes the White House should be a career center for Democrats. Or rather, no one who is not a Democrat believes Harris should be in the White House—because the presidency does not exist to serve the unhirable. The Oval Office is not WeWork for unemployable Democrats.

Democrats know this too, because this is not Harris’s first unsuccessful run for the presidency. She ran in 2020 without winning a single caucus or primary. She pulled out before she could be thrown out. She ran away, in spite of her attempt to sound like Lincoln. Her three-word campaign slogan, For the People, was not enough to fool even some of the people into voting for her.

No one was fooled when Harris announced her candidacy on January 21, 2019. She used Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a photo-op. She went on “Good Morning America,” and pretended to be African American. The act was an insult to the memory of Dr. King, who was shot and killed—who was murdered—because of the color of his skin. The act was also an insult to the content of the nation’s character.

By treating race as a fashion accessory, Kamala Harris insulted all races. She revealed herself to be both ignorant and superficial. Are we to believe she has changed for the better, that she is conversant in the history of the civil rights movement or fluent in the language of natural rights? Are we to believe she no longer panders to blacks or pretends she is black? Are we to believe she no longer panders to the worst among us, when she sounds no different than before?

Remember, too, that Harris believed the Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax. She was for the hoax until she wasn’t, calling it a “modern-day lynching.” She was quick to believe the unbelievable, that a biracial, C-list celebrity—a guy who wouldn’t have lasted 15 minutes on The Celebrity Apprentice—was the victim of a hate crime. So much for Harris’s purported wisdom and experience.

Harris believed Smollett because she wanted to, regardless of the facts. That there were no facts, that Smollett’s attempt at race-baiting was like Harris’s exploitation of race, was irrelevant. So much for Harris’s purported insight as a lawyer or her skill as a prosecutor, or her tenure as attorney general of California.

The only other explanation is that Harris knew Smollett was lying but didn’t care. Either way, she is a horrible liar. Not for nothing does President Trump call her Phony Kamala. Were the stakes not so high, were the fate of the country not at stake, we could laugh at Harris and Smollett. But because so many Democrat prosecutors mistake talking points for truths, because they believe the lies they tell about President Trump, the stakes are high indeed.

If Democrats replace someone who is incompetent with someone who is incoherent, the result will be four more years of misery. If Harris wins, her words will suffice for truth. If she gets any worse, we will need to learn a new language.

Because leadership requires the ability to communicate, we expect presidents to be good communicators. Because we know a great president must also be a great communicator, we know why we support President Trump. In turn, we know Kamala Harris does not have what it takes to lead. She does not have what it takes to be president of anything, least of all president of the United States.

We refuse to pretend Phony Kamala is the best politician in the Democrat Party. We refuse to pretend she is smart or sound, or black once a year. We refuse to believe she is the heir to Roosevelt or Truman or Kennedy. We especially refuse to believe she speaks well.

Harris is not an orator. She is no Obama; Michelle Obama, that is. She is not Barack Obama at his worst either, because she shows no interest in the power of words or the principles of rhetoric. She shows no interest in democracy because she has no interest in winning her party’s nomination on her own.

Better for Democrats to accept Harris for who she is. Better for Democrats to accept the truth, because a candidate this phony—a politician this bad—is no good.

Better for the truth to prevail, because Phony Kamala is like Sleepy Joe Biden: an embarrassment.
