Of course the House Foreign Affairs Committee report on Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan bugout has prompted a mad media rush to insist Kamala Harris had nothing to do with it. Let’s be clear: Harris. Was.
Vice. President. Which means that — no matter how Democrats and their media lapdogs cry about it — she owns that debacle, too.
And she’s even admitted this herself. Witness her bragging about how she was “the last person in the room” with Biden when he made the call to skeedaddle, clear evidence she was a strong cosigner. She owns Afghanistan, just as she does every other crisis Biden and his lackeys caused.
You don’t get to be a heartbeat away from the presidency and then disavow everything the moment you catch some heat. Plus: All signs suggest that, if elected, she’ll be much, much worse than Joe. Look at her main national-security guru, Philip Gordon : He was one of the central backers of Barack Obama’s disastrous Iran deal and wider Iran policy — the ugly fruits of which we have now seen on Oct.
7 and around the Middle East as the Islamic Republic advances its project of regional hegemony. Consider, too, Harris’ response to the Hamas atrocities her administration proudly helped enable. She’s echoed Biden’s slurs against Israel’s humane and justified counterattack against Hamas, snubbed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and signaled that she will govern far to the left even of her boss (who is fully in thrall to his party’s antisemitic cadres).
On China and Russia, we have absolutely no reason to believe Harris would show any more spine than she did when she was veep and stood by while Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine and China repeatedly violated our airspace. And we already know precisely where she stands on the national-security issue closest to home, the US border: She wants it open. So pro-Dem reporters can whine as much as they want that Harris — despite being the most accomplished candidate Everrrrrrr — never actually did a single thing during her time as veep.
The writing’s on the wall for what President Harris’ foreign policy will look like. And it’s a vision even more nightmarish than what we’ve seen under Joe..
