Asked about the report during an interview Tuesday with Howard Stern, Harris said Woodward’s reporting was an example of why Trump cannot be trusted as commander-in-chief, because she said he is easily manipulated by authoritarians he hopes to befriend.

“He admires strong men, and he gets played by them because he thinks that they’re his friends, and they are manipulating him full time and manipulating him by flattery and with favor," Harris said. “Remember, people were dying by the hundreds, everybody was scrambling to get these kits … and this guy, who was President of the United States, is sending them to Russia to a murderous dictator for his personal use.”

    A) Unsurprising B) Kamala has no moral leg to stand on when her boss just sent like $35 billion in direct violation of US law in the last month to a war criminal who has killed multiple US citizens within the last year. That’s a LOT more than a COVID test is worth…

        I really wouldn’t bet that it’ll be any different if she wins. I’m still voting for her and hoping she’ll be different…but she won’t be.

            If Kamala isn’t morally responsible for the actions of the Genocide Joe administration, despite participating in it, why has she done nothing to be like say “I think a stern hand like Eisenhower or Reagan, literally sanctioning Israel, to keep them in check, serves both nations, like it did under Eisenhower and Reagan?” Which would do nothing to alienate the new Cheney DNC base?

              Why would the vice president be morally responsible for the actions of the president? If my boss supports something immoral that’s completely out of my control, am I morally responsible for their actions?

              They exist as a backup and to cast the tie breaking vote in the senate.

              You may be surprised to hear Kamala is the 2024 democratic nominee, and is therefore able to decide for herself what she’s running on, sans Genocide Joe’s input.

        You know you’re winning when you’re yelling “moron” at a person you don’t know on social media because your candidate is doing THAT well.

      You know how in most jobs you can tell your boss not to do something you don’t want them to do because you don’t like them doing it and that always works?

      For some strange reason I can’t explain to you, it doesn’t work if you’re the vice president.

        You Cheney Dems seem to ironically forget how much power a VP can have of they choose to exercise it. You may also recall that Kamala is the current nominee, and could put SOME sunlight between her and Genocide Joe, since she in theory is running a campaign in which she can set her own policy proposals.

          What on Earth is a “Cheney Dem?”

          Also, how have you ever kept a job if you think that you can defy your boss whenever you feel like it?

            Who would YOU say is the 2024 democratic nominee for president? Is it Joe Biden? If not, who is this non-Kamala boss who she cannot defy without being fired? As far as I’m aware, she becomes president if she hits 270 electoral college votes even if Joe Biden channels Trump and says “you’re fired!” She won’t be VP by January no matter what happens between now and then.

              Are you ever going to tell me what on Earth a “Cheney Dem” is and why you assume I’m even in that political party?

                A Cheney Dem is a democrat who wholeheartedly supports the new pro-war, anti-immigrant DNC that is the party of the Liz and Dick Cheney after the DNC purged the progressives in 2020. I assume you’re a democrat because you’re carrying water for Kamala, who is a mediocre at best candidate carrying the torch for possibly the single worst president in my lifetime, who is rightfully deeply unpopular. The only reason to carry water for these people is because it’s your team, thus I assume it’s your team. If someone says “The Jets suck” and someone goes “You’re wrong, the Jets are awesome” one would assume they’re a Jets fan as the football team, like the DNC is VERY bad at their jobs.

                  I’m “carrying water” for the candidate that isn’t going to put my queer daughter in a conversion camp. Unlike you, apparently, I don’t want two additional genocides- of Latinos and queer people- in the U.S.

                  But sure, it’s all about it being “my team.” You’ve figured it all out.

                  You’re calling Biden the worst president of your lifetime, so should I call you a MAGA Republican?

                    You can do whatever you want, but if you think the Cheney DNC won’t flip on gay rights like they flipped on migrant rights, or the big beautiful wall, or tariffs, or medicare for all, or card check, or Hillarycare, you should YouTube the “immigrants are scary” ads Kirsten Gilibrand is running in her safe seat in NY right now, completely out of a desire to be cool at very serious people DC cocktail parties, down ballot races be damned. It may provide perspective on how dependable these neolibs are if you’re not a megadonor or foreign lobbying group, and you may want to consider defending them when they will NEVER defend you if it’s uncool inside the beltway or pisses off a billionaire, or is just not specifically advantageous to them right now.
