Good news, everyone! Kamala Harris has an explanation for why she adroitly tied Joe Biden to his segregationist sentatorial colleagues during the debates last fall!

Are you ready? Sit down and brace yourselves for this excuse.

IT WAS A DEBATE.

No, I’m not kidding. That is Kamala Harris’s explanation for why she slapped Joe Biden around on the debate stage. This came up nearly two months ago when Harris was interviewed by Stephen Colbert on his late night show. Colbert, who used to be moderately amusing when he was on Comedy Central, is a full-on Democrat cheerleader who doesn’t even pretend to be fair. Which is fine, because it’s his show and he’s only accountable to the top brass at CBS and the advertisers. This interview with Kamala Harris didn’t even make waves at the time, but with her name in the mix for vice president, Colbert had her on.

The footage was dug up and clipped by Benny Johnson of Turning Point USA, who tweeted it out.

Kamala Harris basically accused Joe Biden of being a racist during the debates and her only defense is “it was a debate”.

So did you never think he was racist and knowingly falsely accused him of being one or are you now just ok with being on a ticket with a racist? pic.twitter.com/0axLvxtf9Z

So, Kamala Harris is using “IT WAS A DEBATE” as her entire excuse. “It was a debate! HAHAHAHA! You can say whatever crap you want in a debate! HAHAHA!”

The fake laugh is the tell. Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton both use a cackly fake laugh to cover up when they know they’ve been caught and are playing for time to formulate an answer to a question that puts them in an awkward position. Unfortunately for Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton is a smarter person and comes up with slightly more polished answers than just helplessly doing a fake giggle while repeating “IT WAS A DEBATE” over and over and over.

Kamala Harris has taken every single position under the sun on issues, and while it is a futile request to ask the media to do their freaking jobs and ask her some tough questions on her John Kerry-like flip flops, even the press is slightly confused as to why Harris is now being isolated in the basement with Joe Biden, not taking any questions.

Chris Wallace, who interviewed President Trump in a long-form, nothing off-limits setting, has been steadfastly blocked by the Biden campaign and now can’t get any campaign surrogates to even sit down for an interview BEFORE the DNC convention! And it’s not just Wallace’s show – Team Biden is keeping him, Kamala Harris, and anyone from the campaign away from ANY of the Sunday news shows.

“So I’ve been doing Sunday shows with conventions. I started on Meet the Press in 1988. I’ve been doing it on and off. For what? What is that? Thirty two years. And and it always happens that the Sunday before the convention. The campaign puts out top officials to preview the convention and to say this is what we’re gonna try to get accomplished. So, you know, we put counting all week on, you know, having a top official from the Biden campaign, the campaign manager, the top pollster, the chief strategist, to talk about what they’re going to talk about during this next week. They are not putting anybody out. And at first I thought, well, maybe it’s because it’s Fox News and they’re boycotting us. No, they’re not putting anybody out on any of the Sunday shows point. I don’t understand what’s going on here. This is the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen that you would you know, you’re basically giving a campaign. And as I say, it’s a traditional thing. We’re gonna do it for the Republicans a week from Sunday. What are you trying to accomplish this week? And they the Biden campaign isn’t putting anybody out. And this just is of a piece with the the vice president not not doing really any serious interviews, not answering any questions since the rollout. I don’t you know, you can you can try and I understand and has worked pretty well. And he continues to lead with what I’ll call the basement strategy. I don’t think you can hide from now until Election Day. I just – I just don’t think it’s possible.”

Wallace is correct. The Biden campaign cannot hide him forever, and now that Harris is the vice presidential pick, you would think she would be sent out to be the point person for these Sunday shows. But Kamala Harris is going to get hit hard with every flip, every flop, and every detail of her political career. Every single thing is fair game now. There is no skating around the fact that being Willie Brown’s mistress jump-started her political career. Imagine if a female Republican vice-presidential pick had Kamala Harris’s history with an older married man who was able to give her lucrative patronage positions that started her in politics. Remember how the press savaged Sarah Palin simply for having a daughter pregnant out of wedlock? The double standard is as clear as glass, but is no longer shocking.

Which makes me wonder why Team Biden is keeping Kamala Harris under wraps. After all, Colbert let her get away with her excuse a couple of months ago. Do they really think a news media whose daily mantra is “ORANGE MAN BAD” won’t do the same?
