Democrat Lawmaker Mounts Ridiculous Defense Of Harris
Democratic Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell stated on CNN Monday that the media often tends to “over-exaggerate” the “importance” of Vice President Kamala Harris doing a sit-down interview. Dingell defended Harris by pointing out that her campaign has not been active for a long time.
Even though Harris became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in late July, she has yet to release official campaign policies on her website or participate in a detailed press interview.

During her appearance on “The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer,” Dingell mentioned that Harris understands the need to “spell out her vision and talk about policies,” but emphasized that the entire campaign process can’t be “squeezed into one day.”
“Well, I think sometimes you all over-exaggerate its importance. She knows what she‘s going to have to do. She‘s going to have to spell out her vision and talk about policies more. You can start to see that. You know, we forget that we, in the last three weeks, four weeks, we‘ve seen a year or two or three years worth of what‘s happened,” Dingell said. She’s only had a vice presidential nominee for two weeks. She had to go into convention. They had to orchestrate that. She turned a whole campaign over from one person to another. So Labor Day is coming, the fall is here. I think we‘re 72 or 71 days left in this election. You‘re going to see some of those things that you want to see happen. We can‘t get it all squeezed into one day. We‘ve got to remember this hasn’t been a lot time of candidate Harris.”
Republican lawmakers have accused Harris of reversing her stance on policies she endorsed during her 2020 presidential campaign.
Although she introduced aspects of her economic plans on July 19, Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas pointed out in an interview on ABC that Harris has not explicitly distanced herself from her earlier far-left positions, with objections to her previously supported policies only coming from her aides.
While accepting the presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week, Harris concluded the event without providing an official policy platform.
Despite calls for Harris to engage with the media, Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher advised her to keep avoiding press interactions and instead concentrate on “talking to the voters.”
