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.”

    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.

                You mean like how the Democrats are putting queer people in conversion camps now?

                Oh wait, they aren’t. But Republicans want them to be.

                Don’t fucking tell me how to be a parent. Especially of a queer kid. I doubt you have a queer kid. Do you even have any children?

                    What the fuck are you even talking about now?

                    Nothing I said had anything to do with JD Vance or anything Vance has ever said.

                    And, again, don’t fucking tell me how to be a parent. If you do have kids, I wouldn’t tell you how to parent them.

                    But feel free to let me know if you actually do have a queer child. I doubt it since you don’t understand the danger they’re in, but let me know about them. I’m always happy to talk about my daughter as many here know.
