Debate: Questions Kamala Harris Must Be Asked<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Authored by Steve Cortes via RealClearPolitics<\/a>,<\/em><\/p>\n

After six weeks of completely hiding from the media, Kamala Harris finally appeared, with the safety valve of her running mate, in a pre-recorded, brief, and totally friendly interview with Dana Bash of CNN.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Bash did not press on the most urgent issues, nor did she follow up when Harris either obfuscated or simply refused to answer.<\/strong> As such, Harris still escapes the scrutiny of any real interview, even though she has applied for the most difficult and important job in the world.<\/p>\n

Moreover, if anything, the burden of proof should be far higher for Harris given that she was elevated to nominee status by the backroom machinations of powerbrokers<\/strong>, rather than citizens voting.<\/p>\n

In fact, Harris has never earned a single caucus or primary vote for president, neither in 2020, nor in 2024.<\/strong> Given that she came out of the Democratic Party apparatus that dominates California, in point of fact Harris has not faced serious scrutiny in her entire political career, ever.<\/p>\n

She wants to claim all the advantages of incumbency without any of the attendant blame for her record as a sitting vice president and co-manager of the Biden agenda, especially on immigration and on inflation. Unfortunately, the corporate press seems more than willing to grant her this posture of \u201call the benefits\/none of the costs,\u201d in large part because leading media mavens clearly feel guilt for having deposed Biden so unceremoniously.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of that media fawning protection over Harris, she faces little blowback for ignoring journalists. Given this strange circumstance, next week\u2019s debate may well provide the singular opportunity to press Harris on key questions that she simply must answer to prove herself worthy of the highest office in the land.<\/p>\n

If ABC News wants to find a professional conscience on behalf of the profession of journalism, then these queries really should flow from the moderators<\/strong>, Linsey Davis and David Muir. But if ABC forgoes that ethical obligation, then President Trump should enter the debate hall ready to validly confront Harris on the following key dozen questions:<\/p>\n

When did you know about Joe Biden\u2019s cognitive issues and were you always truthful with the American people about his condition?
\n\tIt has been reported<\/a> that Biden was threatened with use of the 25th\u00a0Amendment as leverage to get him to drop out. Can you speak to that issue and defend why you belong on the ballot even though no primary voters chose you?
\n\tYou have publicly boasted<\/a> about Bidenomics, but Americans hate<\/a> the economy. Can you describe Bidenomics and whether you still own it?
\n\tPresident Trump did a highly confrontational town hall on CNN as a candidate this cycle. Will you do a similar town hall with someone like Laura Ingraham?
\n\tWhy do you affect accents<\/a> in front of different audiences and what does it say about your authenticity?
\n\tOn fracking, CNN states that you never did change your own personal opinion in 2020<\/a>, so can you explain when and why you did change to become pro-fracking?
\n\tYou\u2019ve repeatedly backed race-based reparations<\/a>. Can you explain why Hispanic, Asian, and white Americans today should pay their black neighbors for racial injustices committed before they were ever even born?
\n\tCan you state whether or not your home state of California is a model for America?
\n\tHow can you assure the American people that millions of migrants who poured into America will not receive amnesty and citizenship?
\n\tWhat would you say to the parents of Laken Riley?
\n\tBiden\u2019s Afghanistan withdrawal \u2013 you said<\/a> you were the last person in the room and that you\u2019re comfortable with the decision. Is that still the case?
\n\tHousing affordability has never been worse in America by some metrics, and not since the 2006 Housing bubble, according to Goldman Sachs<\/a>. Why shouldn\u2019t Americans blame you for this crisis?<\/p>\n
