Letter to the editor: Kamala Harris' character
Did Lester Holt’s intriguing interview with Vice President Kamala Harris appear to elicit an answer that revealed her irresponsible (or delusional) character? Didn’t she say, more than once, “We’ve been to the border”? And wasn’t Holt’s response, “You haven’t been to the border,” a known fact? She answered again in an unusual way when she said, “I haven’t been to Europe; I don’t understand the point.”
Would that atypical answer have caused Forrest Gump to say, “stupid is as stupid does”? And isn’t her frequent response akin to the “Mary Poppins” characters known for “I Love to Laugh”? That was funny back then, but isn’t a VP apparently answering in “La La Land” horrendously unacceptable? Let alone a blatant lie that is indefensible.
Doesn’t it seem that Harris is the living and breathing spokeswoman for “hubris” and “mendacity” — the esoteric words of “lefties” that connote arrogance and falsehood?
If she were to have a leak in her kitchen sink, would her finding the root of the problem see her on her patio?
Finally, was it a waste of time when our grandparents and great-grandparents went legally and respectfully to Ellis Island to become citizens? (As a reminder from them, respect is not commanded or demanded; it is earned.)
Harris’ gaffe in answering Holt’s question was part of the “house of gaffes” from her boss on down. They appear to be unconscionably bereft of Judeo-Christian ethics and pro-American activities, so why should they remain in office?
