Vice President Kamala Harris has been receiving harsh treatment from conservatives ranging from Donald Trump to me because she continues to refuse to meet with members of the media. On Monday, Trump conducted an impromptu two-hour interview with Elon Musk, while the day before, his running mate, JD Vance, appeared on three antagonistic Sunday morning news shows.
The difference is startling and a bit terrifying when you realize how enthusiastic lapdogs the press are for her—especially given there’s a non-zero chance that an empty pants suit may be the next president of the United States.
Here’s another illustration of why her campaign will not allow her to be in the vicinity of a legitimate press conference or interview:
To provide you, dear reader, with a service, I requested that Grok, the AI that is accessible to paying X subscribers, mimic Harris’s explanation of how inflation operates:
“Inflation occurs when your dollar’s value devalues due to weight loss on a diet. My strategy? We intend to nourish those dollars and restore their plumpness. How? I respond, “Watch me!” to those who argue that this isn’t how economics operates by making sure that each dollar receives a little cap that proclaims, “I’m worth more today.” After our dollar parade, inflation will suddenly disappear, and each and every dollar will feel valuable! Keep in mind that the hat is everything.”
Isn’t that more absurd than anything Harris has stated? Furthermore, if you’ve ever wondered where a small percentage of the money from your VIP membership goes, it goes to Elon Musk, so I can provide you with Grok entertainment.
Allow me to conclude with a somewhat more somber note.
If you can handle it, rewatch that Harris footage. Actually, I want you to focus on her hand signals, so watch it with the sound muted.
They’re not organic.
Despite being absurd, her response seems just as contrived as her body language. Though I’m not really drawing comparisons between Harris and Mussolini, both despots punctuated their lectures with strange, carefully choreographed movements. The motions also had an effect. They have a way of making viewers flip their reasoning and logic switches.
I don’t think Stalin gave a damn. He would randomly shoot a few people to rile up the masses.
Without a doubt, Harris has been practicing. Here’s what Politico’s body language expert saw during one of the Democratic presidential debates in 2019:
“However, you’ll see that Harris was attempting to be forceful when she tucked her elbow in, kept her arm close to her body, and underlined her remarks with a closed fist. These modest, inward gestures detracted from her message, even though she may have set herself up for some wonderful soundbites.”

While you and I laugh at Harris’s word salads, she has been putting a lot of effort into learning how to communicate with people more personally.
According to an anonymous conservative Hollywood writer, here’s one last thing to consider:
“Don’t underestimate Harris. Because it appears as though Donald Trump is doing exactly that.”
