Speaking in an interview with Breitbart News Saturday on Saturday, August 3, Senator and Trump running mate JD Vance sounded off on Vice President Kamala Harris. Particularly, he argued that she is largely hiding from the media “in the hope that people don’t realize how ill-prepared she is and how bad her ideas are for the country.”
That came as Sen. Vance spoke about how VP Harris and former President Donald Trump have agreed to debate each other, which was less than a great decision for Harris because she doesn’t do well when the situation isn’t scripted. In fact, he said that she is “incredibly bad” at unscripted remarks.
“She’s fine if you put her in front of the teleprompter and tell her what to say. But she actually has to answer questions based purely on her own knowledge and interest in policy. Then it becomes a bit of a disaster,” Sen. Vance said to Breitbart News Saturday, contrasting her inability to answer questions off the cuff.
He added, speaking about her general awkwardness and how bad she is at talking with people and seeming normal, something readily evident when she goes out and talks to normal people, “I think when she does go out and talk to people, the fact that she’s not ready to be president is obvious for all to see.”
Then, noting how important participating in the democratic system is, he said, “I think that your responsibility as a political candidate is to go out there and seek the votes of the people that you want to lead, right? I’m asking to be your next vice president. I should be required to go out and actually persuade you that I’m going to be a good one.”
Turning back to VP Harris, he noted that she has not at all done that. Instead, she has stayed more or less hidden from the media and scrutiny, in his view, and has “basically pursued a strategy of hiding from the press in the hope that people don’t realize how ill prepared she is and how bad her ideas are for the country.”
Speaking then about the corporate media and how it seems to care only about democracy when Trump is in the hot seat, Sen. Vance said, “These guys for years … accuse Donald Trump of being a threat to democracy– and then to sing the praises of Kamala Harris without requiring her to sit down for an interview? It really goes to show that the media is fundamentally a propaganda arm of the DNC.”
On that same note, he accused the media of lying about him and Trump, telling Breitbart, “We can’t let people forget that — because we need them to mistrust the media, because they’re obviously lying about her. They’re lying about President Trump. They’re lying about me, and we need people to know the truth.”
