A Modern ‘1984’: Kamala Harris' Insidious History Rewrite
With no time to prep, the hack job by Democrats and the media against Trump and the GOP has been undisciplined, shoddy, and careless. Big Brother these guys ain't.
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” The words of George Orwell’s seminal “1984” have been evoked by critics throughout history against the ruling regime. His words are coming to life before our eyes as D.C.’s chittering elites try to push Kamala Harris on the unwilling masses.
In an effort to shore up Harris’ weaknesses as her showdown with President Trump approaches, the powers that be have begun a rushed astroturf job to try and fool the American people. In an X post, leftist rag Axios attempted to memory hole Harris’ position as Biden’s border czar by claiming Trump and the GOP were making it up.
Conservatives were quick to point out that not only had Axios previously referred to Harris as the border czar in its prior reporting, but that it was the same author who was now trying to claim that title was a Republican conspiracy theory. Axios was sheepishly forced to add an editor’s note noting “Axios was among the news outlets that incorrectly labeled Harris a "border czar" in 2021.”
How convenient that once Harris’ record on the border became a liability towards her presidential ambitions, the border czar title was “incorrect.” I guess Biden himself was lying when he explicitly put her in charge of the border back in 2021.
Axios wasn’t the only leftist outlet running defense for Harris. The day after Senate hopeful David McCormick released a blistering Pennsylvania attack ad against her and Democrat Bob Casey highlighting the veep’s status as the chamber’s most liberal senator, supposedly non-partisan political transparency site GovTrack suddenly removed Harris’ 2019 report card.
Per Fox News, “GovTrack founder Joshua Tauberer said the page was removed because the company adopted a policy ‘several years ago’ to end its single-year ratings of lawmakers to only do ratings based on Congressional sessions.
I’m sure the fact that Harris’ “most liberal” status began making the rounds again had nothing to do with the page’s timely removal.
Harris already tried to claim that people were lying about her liberal record in the Senate back in 2020 when she was shockingly pressed by CBS reporter Norah O'Donnell on her support for socialist policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal.
The media has seemingly abandoned trying to hold Kamala accountable and is now more focused on attacking her critics pointless identity-based grounds.
Oops, sorry. I mean Harris. Never-Trump columnist at the Washington Post Jennifer Rubin posted on X that “News reports calling her ‘Kamala’ may not be intentionally disrespectful or demeaning but that is how she is treated. It's wrong.”
But, yet again, conservatives pointed out that Rubin’s outrage was more than a little hypocritical.
Just days earlier, Rubin posted “As I said, no sane Dem is going to run against Kamala. Let the veepstakes begin,” and “Kamala is running against an adjudicated rapist. I have no words…” and “Pitch perfect - put him on the VP list for Kamala to choose from along with Shapiro, Bershear, Cooper, Kelly.”
I guess when Rubin does it, calling her Kamala is no longer sexist. Rules for thee and not for me. The leftist way!
And when the left isn’t attacking the GOP or pretending Harris doesn’t have massive issues, they’ve started to dabble in a bit of conspiracy theory peddling.
Newsweek claimed on X that “Donald Trump might not have been shot after all” reporting that FBI Director Chris Wray couldn’t conclusively say whether Trump had been injured by shrapnel from a teleprompter or bullet. Never mind that photographic evidence showed that the teleprompters hadn’t been hit, or that someone behind Trump died from a bullet wound, Newsweek wants to make you think that Trump wasn’t actually hit by a bullet.
Seems like it was pretty conclusive that a bullet missed instantly killing Trump by inches. But when Kamala is down in the polls and has a popularity crisis, tearing down Trump is a moral necessity.
This is absolutely not the first time the media, leftist aligned orgs, and Democrats have colluded to try and destroy their opposition. But given Harris’ rapid push into the spotlight and the short timetable before the 2024 election, it is certainly the sloppiest hit job I’ve ever seen. With no time to prep, the hack job against Trump and the GOP has been undisciplined, shoddy, and careless.
Ironically, it’s likely these efforts to bolster Harris through subterfuge will end up backfiring as they’ll draw more attention to her myriad flaws and failures.
Big Brother these guys ain’t.
