Kamala Harris Delivers One of Her Worst Performances Yet at CNN Town Hall Event
Kamala Harris struggled through a CNN Town Hall in Pennsylvania moderated by Anderson Cooper, failing to provide convincing answers on key questions about her weaknesses, her time in office, and how her administration would differ from Biden's. When pressed on border security, Harris couldn't clearly articulate her stance on the border wall she once called "stupid" and "a medieval vanity project." The Democratic candidate continues to focus heavily on attacking Donald Trump rather than presenting her own vision, even comparing him to Hitler and calling him a fascist. With her campaign reportedly raising over $1 billion yet still losing ground in polls, political observers note that Harris remains "an enigma" to voters while Trump's authenticity resonates despite massive spending advantages for Democrats.
Harris Struggles at CNN Town Hall
Kamala Harris participated in a CNN Town Hall in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, moderated by Anderson Cooper, delivering what many observers are calling one of her worst performances of the campaign. When asked about her weaknesses and how she plans to overcome them while in office, Harris offered a rambling response that highlighted her difficulty speaking off-script to audiences.
"Well I am certainly not perfect so let's start there," Harris began. "I think that I perhaps a weakness some would say but I actually think it's the strength is I really do value having a team of very smart people around me who bring to my decision-making process different perspectives."
Unable to Differentiate From Biden Administration
The Vice President faced a question she should have been prepared for: how will her administration be different from the current one? When Anderson Cooper asked why certain initiatives weren't accomplished during her four years in the White House, Harris responded: "Well there was a lot that was done but there's more to do Anderson and I'm pointing out things that need to be done that haven't been done but need to be done."
Harris attempted to position herself as representing "a new generation of leadership," citing her experience taking on banks during the foreclosure crisis, caring for her mother who was dying from cancer, and raising children. She promised to bring "a new approach and a new idea" to dealing with what she called "the sandwich generation."
Flip-Flopping on Border Wall
One of the most notable moments came when Harris was questioned about border security and her previous criticism of Donald Trump's border wall. Cooper noted that she had criticized the wall more than 50 times, calling it "stupid, useless and a medieval vanity project."
When asked if a border wall is still stupid, Harris deflected: "Well let's talk about Donald Trump in that border wall. So remember Donald Trump said Mexico would pay for it. Come on they didn't. How much of that wall did he build? I think the last number I saw is about 2%."
Cooper pressed her on the fact that the bipartisan bill she supports would earmark $650 million to continue building the wall. Harris insisted she would work across the aisle to "fix this thing" and strengthen the border, but when asked directly if she still thinks the wall is stupid, she avoided giving a clear answer: "I think what he did and how he did it was did not make much sense because he actually didn't do much of anything."
Obsession With Trump and Hitler Comparisons
Harris and the Democrats continue to focus heavily on attacking Donald Trump rather than presenting their own vision. Despite Democrats being in power for 12 out of the last 16 years, the campaign strategy remains centered on blaming problems on Trump and portraying him as an existential threat.
When asked if she believes Donald Trump is anti-Semitic, Harris responded: "I believe Donald Trump is a danger to the wellbeing and security of America."
Earlier in the day, Harris had drawn comparisons between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler, stating: "This is a window into who Donald Trump really is from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office and in the situation room. And it is clear from John Kelly's words that Donald Trump is someone who I quote certainly falls into the general definition of fascist."
Commentary on Harris's Extreme Rhetoric
Comedian and commentator Alex Stein joined the discussion to analyze Harris's comments, arguing that "Kamala Harris will compare Trump to Hitler which they think that what they're doing is trying to demonize Trump but they're humanizing Hitler who wanted to mass exterminate millions of people and Donald Trump doesn't want to do that. Donald Trump wants to save people. He didn't start any wars when he was president so it's absolutely absurd how they use this rhetoric and compare him to the worst human being in world history."
Struggling With Male Voters
Harris was asked by NBC News about her poor performance with male voters compared to President Biden. When questioned whether sexism might be at play, she deflected: "Let me just tell you something, you've come to my events and you will see there are men and women at those events whether it be small events or events with 10,000 people."
Stein offered his analysis: "She's untalented. It has nothing to do with the fact that she's a female. It's just that you know you look at her history and where she got to become the Attorney General, her relationships with men. She was literally chosen as a DEI candidate because she was an African-American woman. So instead of having a meritocracy here in this country we're choosing the second most powerful person in the country based on their skin color."
Campaign Funding Doesn't Translate to Success
Despite Harris's campaign reportedly raising more than three times as much as Donald Trump's in September alone, and her combined campaign and affiliated groups passing the $1 billion mark, her poll numbers continue to decline. Stein noted that money alone won't determine the outcome: "These people are doing whatever they can, this is the fourth quarter, this is her Hail Mary. They can spend as much money as they want, it's not going to change the narrative this late in the game."
He also pointed out a fundamental problem with her candidacy: "Remember there was no primary. They just elected her by themselves. They didn't actually go out there and vote. There was no civic duty. People did not get to put in their opinion on whether or not she should be the presidential candidate."
Media Outlets Acknowledge Campaign Problems
Multiple outlets are now writing about how the Harris campaign is falling apart. David Marcus at Fox News wrote: "Love him or hate him or ignore him, Donald Trump is who he is and the voters know that, what they would be getting. But Kamala Harris remains an enigma, a vague promise of full and of high and hardy words, and almost a ghost. And ghosts don't win elections. And that is exactly why Kamala Harris is losing in Pennsylvania."
Tim Walz: A Liability for the Campaign
Harris's running mate Tim Walz has been performing even worse than the presidential candidate herself. When asked about losing the debate, Walz responded: "I said one thing is I told people I said I'm not that great a debater. I was a school teacher so I'm trained to answer questions. You know that's not a good debating skill."
Stein argued that Walz has been severely damaging to the campaign: "Kamala Harris got in trouble for lying about working at McDonald's so she had stolen valor, but he actually had stolen valor. He said that he carried weapons and fought in the Middle East when he was really just in Europe. So he's a liar, he's been caught lying multiple times."
He continued: "The only person worse than Kamala Harris in this campaign is Tim Walz. People create the narrative that he wants to put tampons in the boys's restroom, which is true. I mean he's absurd, he's untalented. And if the DNC really had any guts or if they really cared about their people they would have picked Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, the governor of Pennsylvania in the most important state. But they didn't because they want to appease the pro-Palestinian crowd."
Obama Returns to Campaign Trail
Former President Barack Obama has returned to the spotlight to help Kamala Harris, even rapping Eminem lyrics at a Detroit event: "I notice my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti. I'm nervous but on the surface I'm calm and ready to drop bombs but I keep on forgetting."
Stein acknowledged Obama's talent as an orator but questioned the effectiveness: "You have to give it up to Barack Obama. I don't like his politics but he is a talented orator and that's why he won in 2008 and 2012. But even Barack Obama cannot do enough to save Kamala Harris's campaign. I just think it's too little too late."
Trump Speaks About Butler Assassination Attempt
Donald Trump has opened up about the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, stating: "My faith took on new meaning on July 13th in Butler Pennsylvania where I was knocked to the ground essentially by what seemed like a supernatural hand. And I would like to think that God saved me for a purpose and that's to make our country greater than ever before."
Stein expressed concern about the lack of media coverage: "It's been memory-holed here in America. People aren't really talking about that assassination attempt, especially on the left. And it's crazy that the rhetoric behind it was that he almost deserved it. You heard people in the mainstream media saying that he deserved it for the way that he spoke. So I don't know, it's a really sad state of affairs where a presidential candidate got shot and it's not talked about 24/7."
He added a warning: "I'm very worried that this is not the last time that Donald Trump potentially could be shot. And I hope that doesn't happen again."
Trump to Appear on Joe Rogan Podcast
Donald Trump is set to record an interview with podcasting giant Joe Rogan in his Austin studio. Stein predicted this could be a game-changer: "This will be the biggest podcast of the last 100 years, the biggest podcast of all time. This is going to be the thing that wins the election for Donald Trump."
He explained why the format favors Trump: "Every time that we hear Kamala speak, it's pre-approved questions with CNN and MSNBC. They edit the answers. With Donald Trump you're not going to get that. Joe Rogan considers himself a libertarian, considers himself right in the middle, so he's going to air whatever they film. I think this could be what actually puts Donald Trump over the top."
Video Transcript
vice president kamla Harris may have
just had her worst performance yet I
know there have been some shocking
performances in recent weeks now she's
finally started doing some tough
interviews but this performance at CNN's
Town Hall has to be one of her worst
performances of the campaign so far what
weaknesses do you bring to the table and
how do you plan to overcome them while
you're in office that's a great question
Joe um well I am certainly not perfect
so let's start there and um
I think
that I perhaps a weakness some would say
but I actually think it's the strength
is I really do value having a team of
very smart people around me who bring to
my decision-making
process different
perspectives I um my team will tell you
I am constantly saying let's kick the
tire on that let's kick the tires on it
l you may like kamla Harris but her
skills really fall short when it comes
to speaking Off Script to an audience
now the presidential hopeful took part
in CNN's Town Hall in Pennsylvania on
Wednesday which was moderated by
Anderson Cooper and you'd be the judge
if you think this answer was convincing
some voters though might ask you've been
in the white house for for four years
you were Vice President not the
president but why wasn't any of that
done the last four years well there was
a lot that was done but there's more to
do Anderson and and I'm pointing out
things that need to be done that haven't
been done but need to be done kamla
Harris was asked again the obvious
question how will her Administration be
different something she still can't
communicate effectively I represent a
new generation of leadership on a number
of issues and believe that we have to
actually take new approaches for example
what we talked about in terms of housing
I my experience that leads to that
priority includes what I did to take on
the big banks around the Foreclosure
crisis when I brought billions of
dollars to homeowners that were the
subject of predatory Landing I know what
home ownership means to the American
people not to mention what it meant to
my mother who worked very hard and saved
up so that by the time I was a teenager
she was able to buy our first home I
bring to it my experience actually
taking care of my mother when she was
sick and it was as it turned out dying
from
cancer and so I know what it means and
have the experience taking care of an
elderly relative and I have raised
children and so I bring to my priorities
and will as president a new approach and
a new idea frankly about what we need to
do to deal with the sandwich generation
another question the Vice President
should have been prepared for is why the
crisis at the southern border has
escalated under her leadership and if
Donald Trump was wrong for his plans to
build a wall under Donald Trump you
criticize Iz the wall more than 50 times
you called it stupid useless and a
medieval vanity project is a border wall
stupid well let's talk about Donald
Trump in that border
wall so remember Donald Trump said
Mexico would pay for it come on they
didn't how much of that wall did he
build I think the last number I saw is
about 2% and then when it came for time
for him to do a photo op you know where
he did it in the part of the wall that
President Obama built but you're great
to bill that would earmark $650 million
to continue building that we I I pledge
that I am going to bring forward that
bipartisan Bill to further strengthen
and secure our border yes I am and I'm
going to work across the aisle to pass
com a comprehensive bill that deals with
a broken immigration system I think
Jackson's question part of it was to
acknowledge that America has always had
migration but there needs to be a legal
process for it people have to earn it
and that's the point that I think is the
most important point that can be made
which is we need a president who is
grounded in common sense and practical
outcomes like let's just fix this thing
let's just fix it why is there any
ideological perspective on this let's
just fix the problem to fix the problem
you're you're doing this compromised
bill it does call for $650 million that
was earmarked under Trump to actually
still go to build a wall I not afraid of
good ideas where they occur so you don't
think it's stupid anymore I think what
he did and how he did it was did not
make much sense because he actually
didn't do much of
anything I just talked about that wall
right we just talked about it he didn't
actually do much of anything but you do
want to build some wall I want to
strengthen our
border kamla Harris and the Democrats
are obsessed with Donald Trump the
Democrats have been in power for 12 out
of the last 16 years but all they want
to do is blame every problem on Donald
Trump and is that because he's a genuine
threat to democracy like they say he is
or because he's a threat to their power
CA Harris has had every opportunity to
turn down the heed on the rhetoric in
this campaign but should rather convince
Americans that the Republican candidate
is someone we should all fear do you
believe Donald Trump is
anti-Semitic I believe Donald Trump is a
danger to the wellbeing and security of
America earlier in the day kamla Harris
was speaking about comparisons being
drawn between Donald Trump and Adolf
Hitler commentator Alex Stein joined
Power Hour to give his analysis joining
us now is comedian Alex Stein Alex great
to see you let's get straight into the
comments from the woman who is no longer
the favorite to win this election here
she is this is a window into who Donald
Trump really is from the people who know
him best from the people who worked with
him side by side in the Oval Office and
in the situation room and it is clear
from John Kelly's words that Donald
Trump is someone who I quote certainly
falls into the general definition of
fascist Alex does this sound like
someone who believes they can win the
election because they're the best person
to lead or because they have the best
policies or actually is it someone who
will go to extreme lengths to smear
their opponent
well I mean obviously it's the latter CA
Harris will compare Trump to Hitler
which they think that what they're doing
is trying to demonize Hitler excuse me
what they think they're doing they're
trying to demonize Donald Trump but
they're humanizing Hitler who wanted to
mass exterminate millions of people and
Donald Trump doesn't want to do that
Donald Trump wants to save people he he
didn't start any wars when he was
president so it's absolutely absurd how
they use this rhetoric and compare him
to the worst human being in world
history When Donald Trump love America
and he loves his country and camela
Harris I cannot say the same for her I
don't think she loves America like
Donald Trump does well said camela
Harris is doing interviews now really
because she has to she can't hide
anymore and she was asked by NBC News
why she's performing so poorly with men
let's take a listen right now there is a
big gender gap in this race fewer men
support you right now than they did
President Biden some of your allies have
suggested there's sexism at play I
wonder do you think there is sexism at
play here let me just tell you something
something you've come to my
events and you will see there are men
and women at those events whether it be
small events or events with 10,000
people Alex why is she performing so
badly with
men well because she's untalented it has
nothing to do with the fact that she's a
female it's just that you know you look
at her history and where she got to uh
you know become the Attorney General her
relationships with men I mean some
people here in America create a
narrative that she might have used her
sexuality to make it and a lot of men
are probably frustrated with that
because there she was literally chosen
as a Dei candidate because she was an
African-American woman so instead of
having a meritocracy here in this
country we're choosing the second most
powerful person in the country based on
their skin color so I can see why a lot
of men are frustrated especially people
that think that they could never be
eligible for that position because they
are a man so I think it's rightfully so
that a lot of men are not uh on camela
Harris's side I'm not surprised one bit
and we kind of saw this with Hillary
Clinton in 2016 but I think it's much
worse with camela Harris yeah let's look
at the campaign funding because what I
find amazing is that Camila Harris's
campaign is starting to dive at the
moment yet her campaign has reportedly
raised more than three times as much as
Donald Trump's just in September and her
comined campaign and Affiliated groups
has passed the $1 billion Mark Alex what
does that tell you about the amount of
money that is being raised and that is
being spent and why it's just not
working for kamla
Harris well it's not working for her but
here in Texas Ted Cruz is in a tough
race with Colin aled and Colin alled has
gotten over 11 million compared to Ted
Cruz's $8.5 million from All Foreign and
outof state donors so all these people
were throwing money behind camel Harris
it's not necessarily going to be the
difference that makes her win so these
people are doing whatever they can this
is the fourth quarter this is her Hail
Mary and I really hope the American
people show up and do not elect a woman
that wasn't even elected by her own
party remember there was no primary uh
they just elected her by themselves they
didn't actually go out there and vote
there was no uh civic duty people did
not get to put in their opinion on
whether or not she should be the
presidential candidate so I think that's
made a lot of people frustrated then
obviously her policies when it comes to
Israel and Palestine and the war in
Ukraine people are getting very
frustrated so they can spend as much
money as they want it's not going to
change the narrative this late in the
game that's right and people didn't like
her when she was vice president when Joe
Biden was still running to be reelected
and uh yeah they're starting to come to
the same conclusion now it's getting to
the pointy end of this campaign let's
look at some of the opinion pieces where
seeing come out now multiple Outlets are
writing about how the Harris campaign is
just falling apart this one from David
Marcus at Fox News says love him or hate
him or ignore him Donald Trump is who he
is and the voters know that what they
would be getting but kamla Harris
remains an enigma a vague promise of
full and of high and Hardy words and
almost a ghost and ghosts don't win
elections and that is exactly why Kam
Harris is losing in
Pennsylvania what do you make of that
assessment
Alex well Gabriela you nailed it I mean
Donald Trump is who he is he's a wealthy
guy became a billionaire because a very
shrewd businessman but when you ask
kimla Harris about her upbringing she
just repeats the same moniker well I
came from a middle class family well
yeah that was a middle class family
living in Canada so she's just full of
it and the American people know that and
that's what's so frustrating is that she
is so fake she's such a fraud and and
you know if she's somehow wins which I
do not think is is going to happen this
country is going to be heading in not
just the wrong direction but the country
as you know it today we're going to go
and get into multiple Wars we're going
to be our econom is going to collapse so
people are not going to be able to
afford a home I mean the middle class
will be deleted if camela Harris becomes
president of the United States of
America you know the only person I think
who's performing worse than camea Harris
in this campaign is her running mate and
that is Tim Waltz and we just know he's
been performing terribly this is his
response as to why he lost the
debate I said one thing is is I'm I told
people I said I'm not that great a
debater I was a school teacher so I'm
trained to answer questions um you know
that's not a good debating skill I told
people I told people Alex just how
damaging has Tim Waltz been to Kam
Harris's
campaign well camea Harris got in
trouble for lying about working at
McDonald's so she had stolen Mick Valor
but he actually had stolen valor he said
that he carried weapons and fought in
the Middle East when he was really just
in Europe so he's a liar he's been
caught lying multiple times and you're
right the only worst the person that
camela Harris in this campaign is Tim
Walts and also you know people create
the narrative that he wants to put
tampons in the boys's restroom which is
true so think how absurd that is that he
wants to spend government money to to
put women supplies in the boys's
restroom I mean he's absurd he's he's
untalented and if the DNC really had any
G or if they really they really cared
about their people they would have
picked Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania the
governor of Pennsylvania in the most
important state but they didn't because
they want to appease the pro Palestinian
crowd so I hope that them choosing Tim
Waltz is the nail in the coffin of the
camela Harris campaign yeah I think he
might be right if she's not the nail in
the coffin I think he might be look
former president Barack Obama he's back
in the spotlight trying to help out
Kamala Harris and this time he decided
to rap for an
audience now I notice my palms are
sweaty knees weak arms are heavy bom on
my sweat already mom
spaghetti I'm nervous but on the surface
of calm and ready to drop bombs but I
keep bom
[Applause]
forgetting Alex what is he
doing well you know you have to give it
up to Barack Obama I don't like his
politics but he is a talented oror and
that's why he won in 2008 2016 but when
you really look at that you know a lot
of people said that V ramaswami was
copying Barack Obama but Barack Obama
copied that same exact thing that V
ramaswami already did when he was
campaigning to be the uh nominee in the
Republican party so it's crazy how all
these politicians steal from each other
and you know Barack Obama him saying
that I actually kind of enjoyed that
clip because it was kind of funny he's
in Detroit but even Barack Obama canot
do enough to save CA Harris's campaign I
just think it's a too little too late
and that video it's is funny I have to
give that I mean Gabriel you in
Australia you have to see that our
ex-president is up there wrapping Eminem
lines you might need to be a little
worried about the state of America but
at least you guys probably find us
entertaining they're doing anything they
can well you know Donald Trump is the
brilliant Entertainer so Barack Obama I
suppose is trying to step things up but
look Donald Trump has opened up about
the shooting in Butler Pennsylvania here
he is and my faith took on new meaning
on July 13th in Butler
Pennsylvania where I was uh knocked to
the ground
essentially by what seemed like a uh
Supernatural hand and I would like to
think that God saved me for a purpose
and that's to make our country greater
than ever
before I do think it's incredible to
hear him speak about this and you know
the leftwing media would just rather
forget that those assassination attempts
you know ever happen they don't really
want to bring it up so I think it's
important that Donald Trump speaks about
it it's incredibly important I mean it's
been memory hold here in America people
aren't really talking about that
assassination attempt especially on the
left and it's crazy that the rhetoric
behind it was that he almost deserved it
you he you heard people in the
mainstream media saying that he deserved
it for the way that he spoke so I don't
know it's a really sad State of Affairs
where a presidential candidate got shot
and it's not talked about 247 and that's
the case and that's why I appreciate you
guys talking about it because what's sad
is this is probably not going to be the
last attempt I think Donald Trump is in
a very uh dangerous spot especially if
he wins there's a lot of people that
want to take him out and whether you
want to say it's a deep State Secret
Service conspiracy I don't know if it's
that but it only takes one crazy person
and a Dei trained Secret Service that's
protecting him for him to be taken out
so I'm very worried that this is not the
last time that Donald Trump potentially
could be shot and I hope that doesn't
happen again absolutely and after those
comments from kamla Harris today people
are back on Twitter saying pray for
Trump Donald Trump is set to record an
interview with podcasting giant Joe
Rogan Joe Rogan confirmed that Donald
Trump will be joining him in his Austin
Studio posting it on social media Alex
what can we expect from this and what
impact do you think it's going to have
on
voters this will be the biggest podcast
of the last 100 years the biggest
podcast of all time I mean I know
podcasting is relatively new but I'm
just saying this is going to be the
thing that wins the election for Donald
Trump him and Joe Rogan speak
you know in a nonorganized just
improvisational speech because every
time that we hear camela speak it's
pre-approved questions with CNN and
MSNBC they edit the answers with Donald
Trump you're not GNA get that Joe Rogan
is is considers himself a Libertarian
considers himself right in the middle so
he's going to air whatever they film so
I think this could be what actually puts
Donald Trump over the top and it's going
to be great I can't imagine sitting
there and talking to the president for
two hours and Joe Rogan's G to be
talking about what hunting elk and
running up hills and and Joe Rogan who's
going to tell him about his time in
Hollywood and and Trump's going to talk
about his experiences so it's just going
to be two of the most popular people
here in America getting together to have
a a long conversation it's going to be
entertaining and I cannot wait to watch
it this Friday
