The Trump campaign released a video on Monday that perfectly illustrated Kamala Harris’ biggest liability heading into election day: Her rampant, often comical inauthenticity.
How did they do it? They took one segment from three different speeches given by Harris in the last few weeks and then overlayed them. The result was almost disturbing. You can hear Harris not only repeat the words verbatim, with the same tone and inflections, but her head and hand movements are even choreographed. She even rehearsed leaning into the mic.
This is mind-blowing stuff.
Everything Kamala does is choreographed and rehearsed — down to the second.

HARRIS: Are you ready to make your voices heard? Do we believe in freedom? Do we believe in opportunity? Do we believe in the promise of America? And are we ready to fight for it? And when we fight, we win!
As someone who once worked in the video and audio editing space, it’s shocking that the above clip is even audible. You’d expect the words to be the same given they are scripted, but the timing being exactly the same to the point where everything is perfectly understandable is pretty crazy. This isn’t just a politician delivering a canned speech. This is an actress who has clearly spent a lot of time being coached on every detail of what she’s going to say.
If it were just the words coming out of her mouth, it’d be one thing, but she took the time to script leaning into the mic and raising her arms at different points. That’s a level of inauthenticity rarely seen, even in the political space. It’s as if Harris were a robot, manufactured in a lab somewhere with everything she does downloaded into her brain by a third party.

What does that say about how she’ll govern? That’s the big question, right? This is a woman who presents as someone who has never had an original thought in her life. Every public appearance makes her appear more vapid and empty than the last. Could you imagine her having to think on her feet in some of the tense situations presidents are put in? Certainly, she could never be trusted to stand up to special interests. They’d just tell her what to do and say, and she’d go out there and do it like Ron Burgundy reading a teleprompter.
It continues to astonish me that a large portion of Americans are even considering signing up for four years of this. Do they not value their sanity? I know Joe Biden being president has numbed some people to the effects of having an empty vessel in the office, but that doesn’t have to be the choice.
