Kamala Harris slavery lie reveals awful 2024 campaign strategy
If Vice President Kamala Harris’ disgraceful gaslighting on Florida’s black-history curriculum is any guide, the Biden-Harris 2024 run is sure to be a complete horror show.
Harris is following her boss’ lead and telling bizarre, brazen lies — in this case, about Florida’s new black history curriculum.
She claims it will teach kids that “enslaved people benefited from slavery.”
The curriculum, which is publicly available, investigates slavery fully: from slave codes to life post-Emancipation to the broader context of global slavery prior to 1619.
It does say, correctly, that “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
But for Harris, this is “propaganda” and an attempt “to replace history with lies.”
Please: That line is a minuscule part of the overall curriculum, which makes crystal clear that slavery was a complete, unadulterated abomination and a stain on America’s history.
A former US Commission on Civil Rights chairman, Dr. William Allen, worked on the materials and calls the veep’s BS what it is: “categorically false.”
Harris’ lie, of course, is meant specifically to hurt GOP prez contender Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis, who put his state’s curriculum reform effort in motion.
She’s already added it to a stump speech she delivered Friday in Jacksonville, suggesting it’s set to become a standard talking point.
Is this how Harris and Biden plan to campaign?
Perverse spins, after all, aren’t new to either of them.
- Harris has ludicrously claimed “the border is secure.”
- She falsely says Team Biden has “reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pockets.”
- She dishonestly denies she asked people to donate in 2020 to a left-wing bail fund for George Floyd rioters even as the tweet in which she did so was still up.
- And when she isn’t pushing disingenuous, harmful nonsense to score cheap political points, she’s utterly vapid. (Recall her recent attempt to explain AI: It’s “kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it’s two letters. It means artificial intelligence.”)
Biden, meanwhile, tells outrageous whoppers on a daily basis — on jobs, the deficit, inflation, and, of course, his discussions about his son’s shady business deals.
Americans clearly see through their malarkey: Both have dismal approval numbers.
The good news: If they keep up the lies and idiotic rhetoric, those number will only keep falling.
