Sky News Allstars Rita Panahi, Danica De Giorgio, and Megyn Kelly Expose Kamala Harris's Cringiest Moments and Electoral Challenges
As Kamala Harris emerges as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination following Joe Biden's exit from the presidential race, Sky News Allstars Rita Panahi, Danica De Giorgio, and Megyn Kelly dissect the Vice President's most awkward public moments and question her electoral viability. From her repetitive catchphrases about being "unburdened by what has been" to her simplified explanations of complex foreign policy issues, critics argue Harris's communication style and record reveal fundamental weaknesses. With polling showing her trailing Donald Trump in crucial swing states and even less popular than Biden among independents, commentators examine whether the Democratic Party's potential nominee can overcome her history of gaffes, her disastrous 2020 primary performance where she failed to win a single state, and legitimate questions about her competence on the national stage.
Kamala Harris has positioned herself as the likely Democratic nominee following Joe Biden's exit from the presidential race, but her ascension has raised serious questions among political commentators about whether she represents an improvement over the current president. Sky News Allstars including Rita Panahi, Danica De Giorgio, and Megyn Kelly have compiled extensive evidence of Harris's public fumbles, awkward moments, and communication failures that have defined her tenure as Vice President.
One particularly uncomfortable moment captured Harris effusively praising Biden while he was still on a conference call: "It is so good to hear our president's voice. Joe, I know you're still on the call and we've been talking every day. You probably heard it from Doug's voice, we love Joe and Jill, we really do. They truly are like family to us." The exchange continued with Biden responding, "I'm watching you kid, I love you," to which Harris replied, "I love you Joe."
Rita Panahi's Scathing Assessment
Sky News Allstar Rita Panahi delivered a particularly harsh critique of the Vice President, describing Harris as "the inept, radically left and wildly unpopular vice president who is now being presented as the Democrat's great hope." Panahi emphasized that Harris is "a woman who has not won a single presidential primary, a Californian from San Francisco with a voting record in the Senate that is radically left."
Panahi highlighted polling data showing Harris performs even worse than Biden in critical battleground states: "The polling shows she's even less popular than Biden among independents in those swing states. Indeed, across America, Kamala has proven to be less popular than the least popular president of our time."
The commentator also accused Harris of consistently lying to the American people about Biden's cognitive decline, noting that "millions of Americans gave their primary vote to Biden, their votes mean nothing tonight."
Democrats and Democracy
Panahi pointed to what she sees as Democratic hypocrisy on the issue of democracy itself: "The Democrats have shown again and again though they bleat endlessly about threats to democracy, they care little about democracy. They have weaponized the justice system to try to imprison their chief political rival, and now they're going to ignore the votes of 14 million Americans who voted for Biden in the Democratic primary and they'll install Kamala as the candidate."
Megyn Kelly's Brutal Evaluation
Sky News contributor Megyn Kelly offered an even more direct assessment of Harris's intellectual capabilities: "I'm sorry to be ad hominem, but she's a fool. She's not a smart person. If you listen to her as I have now for so many years, you glean that she is faking it."
Kelly particularly criticized Harris's communication style, comparing her unfavorably to Oprah Winfrey: "She thinks she's Oprah with her attempts at profundity. 'That never land, we will be unburdened by what has been' - it's her only line, she says it all the time. Her other line is about Venn diagrams, which is equally stupid."
On Harris's ability to explain complex topics, Kelly was dismissive: "Her attempt to take complex topics and reduce them down into small digestible bits is the most offensive to me because that happens to be what I do for a living, what you Paul do for a living, and it does actually take some skill and some research and some knowledge. You have to learn it forward and backward before you can explain it in a very easy to understand way to your audience. She doesn't get it. It doesn't require speaking to people like they're four, but that's her level of communication."
Kelly predicted Harris would not become the first female president: "That person is not going to be that first female president. It's not going to happen. I would bet everything I have on it."
Election Integrity Concerns
Kelly did acknowledge one potential path to victory for Harris, though she framed it in terms of Democratic Party machinery and potential irregularities: "The only way it's happening is the Democrat machine and let's face it, some potential shenanigans at the voter box. You don't have to believe that they switched votes like with Dominion or Smartmatic to believe that there was cheating. Just look what they did in Pennsylvania where they changed the rules and you can do all this mail-in balloting for a month beforehand, which we had never had before. Who's receiving those votes? Who's accepting those votes? Those votes can be received even if they weren't postmarked by election day. That's one way we know they manipulated the last election and they're really good at it."
Harris's Greatest Hits: The Cringiest Moments
Danica De Giorgio compiled what she called Harris's "cringiest moments," starting with the Vice President's bizarre obsession with repeating the same lines verbatim. In multiple appearances, Harris stated: "This is going to be a humbling thing I'm about to share with you. If someone is 18 years old today, they were born in 2005. I love Gen Z, I love Gen Z."
The compilation showed Harris delivering virtually identical versions of this observation across numerous events, with the same cadence and delivery each time.
The Unburdened Catchphrase
Perhaps even more notable is Harris's relentless repetition of her signature phrase about being "unburdened by what has been." Video footage shows Harris saying variations of this line countless times:
"What can be, unburdened by what has been"
"What we can see, what we believe can be unburdened by what has been"
"Who we can be unburdened by who we have been"
De Giorgio pleaded: "Can someone please unburden me from the shackles of that video?"
Foreign Policy Explanations
Rita Panahi highlighted Harris's approach to explaining international conflicts, which critics found condescending. In one widely circulated clip, Harris explained the Russia-Ukraine conflict: "Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically that's wrong."
Panahi noted: "And by the way, she was speaking to adults. It wasn't some discussion with fourth graders."
The Pronoun Introduction
Harris also drew mockery for her introductions at meetings. In one clip, she stated: "Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her. I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit."
Debating Difficulties
Rita Panahi reminded viewers of Harris's poor performance in the 2020 Democratic primary debates, particularly when challenged by Joe Biden himself. In one exchange, Harris attempted to interrupt Biden multiple times:
Harris: "Vice President, have a point there—"
Biden: "Some things you can, many things you can, let's let the senator answer."
Harris: "Well I mean I would just say, hey Joe, instead of saying no we can't, let's say yes we can."
Biden: "Let's be constitutional, we got a consti—"
Harris: "Yes we can!"
Panahi compared Biden to "that guy in The Wizard of Oz, you know, when you pull back the curtain, it's a really small dude."
Tulsi Gabbard's Devastating Takedown
Perhaps the most memorable moment from Harris's 2020 primary campaign came when then-Representative Tulsi Gabbard systematically dismantled Harris's record as a prosecutor:
"Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president, but I'm deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the State of California, and she fought to keep the cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way."
Time Travel Obsession
Danica De Giorgio also mocked what she called Harris's "part-time obsession with time travel," showing multiple clips of the Vice President making nearly incomprehensible statements about time:
"To see the moment in time in which we exist... during Women's History Month we celebrate and we honor the women who made history... the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time... It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day."
Gender Politics and Electability
Sky News Allstar Alex Stein offered a controversial perspective on Harris's challenges, suggesting that even left-leaning voters might not be ready for a female president: "Even people on the left, I feel, are a little misogynistic, and I know that sounds crazy, but I do believe people even on the left are not going to want a woman president. I don't think people mind having a woman vice president, but I think a lot of people are not going to want a female president."
Rita Panahi pushed back on this analysis, arguing the issue is competence, not gender: "I think that people don't want to be... I think if they put up a female who was actually accomplished and likable and electable, she would have won. But they put up Hillary and now they've got Kamala. It's like they're determined to make the female presidential candidates fail."
Stein countered by noting that Harris would essentially become the nominee "by default because of all of Joe Biden's work," while Panahi pointed to examples of successful female leaders: "If a woman was capable, she could be president. Pakistan's elected a woman decades ago. In the UK as leader, I'm sure Americans are ready, but for the right woman. They're not just going to vote for anybody."
Polling and Electoral Prospects
Despite the criticism, one Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Harris leading Donald Trump, prompting discussion about her actual electoral chances. Republican strategist John Jordan dismissed this as an outlier: "Let's look at those five other polls that were also taken in the last week, and the other five all showed Trump with a two to six-point advantage. This is the only one in the last week which shows an advantage for Kamala Harris, and Reuters/Ipsos has historically not been very accurate predictively."
Jordan acknowledged Harris had broken fundraising records with over $100 million raised in just one day but downplayed its significance: "You always had a fight. Look, you're taking on the Democrat establishment and the Democrat Party is always going to have enough money to run its race and get its message out, and Donald Trump is equally going to have enough money to run his campaign. Neither side is going to beat the other one because of money in this case. Both sides are going to be able to saturate the airwaves and do everything they want to do."
The Fundamentals Remain
Jordan argued that despite the media attention on Harris's candidacy, the fundamental dynamics of the race favor Trump: "You look at Donald Trump's favorability on all of the issues that matter - inflation, border, national security - he's got well into the double-digit leads on both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I realize the media wants to make this a horse race, but nothing fundamentally has changed. Even the New York Times, which is the most liberal news outlet in the United States, says that as well."
As the 2024 presidential race enters this new phase, the question remains whether Kamala Harris can overcome her history of public gaffes, her failure to win support in the 2020 primaries, and persistent questions about her competence and communication skills to defeat Donald Trump and become the first female president of the United States.
