The media’s love affair with Harris is obvious. But not everyone is on board.
And now Obama’s closest ally has gone on CNN to make these nutty statements about Harris.
The reality about the situation the Democrat Party is in is that they fixed it to be this way. The Democrat Party specifically silenced anyone trying to question Kamala Harris as the next Democrat nominee for President after they obviously ousted the incumbent President Joe Biden, who clearly had plans to run for office for another four years in the White House.
What’s crazy is that the Democrats who were so vocal in trying to get Joe Biden out of the 2024 election picture are now trying to pretend like they didn’t stage a coup just because Joe Biden’s chances of winning in November were looking more bleak by the day.
Axelrod and Jennings Clash Over Biden’s Decision to Withdraw from 2024 Presidential Race
In a heated discussion on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, former President Barack Obama’s chief campaign strategist David Axelrod and CNN’s senior political commentator Scott Jennings debated President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. The confrontation arose during their analysis of Biden’s first speech following his announcement to end his reelection bid.
Jennings argued that Biden’s decision was influenced by significant pressure from his own party and political commentators, especially following a lackluster debate performance. He highlighted the dishonesty he perceived from Biden’s administration and supporters regarding Biden’s ability to serve another term.
“I think what you’re asking Republicans to do is to overlook a lot of dishonesty that came right out of this White House. They came right out of the vice president. People who worked for him, his family, other Democrats, Democrats in Congress. You‘re asking the country to overlook a lot of dishonesty about Joe Biden’s abilities, capabilities, his capacity to serve for another four years and so on,” Jennings stated.
Anderson Cooper interjected, noting that similar arguments are made by Democrats about former President Donald Trump. However, Jennings insisted his critique was solely about Biden and suggested that the decision was not purely altruistic.
Axelrod countered, asserting that Biden’s choice reflected the sentiments of American voters and dismissed Jennings’ claims about party pressure. He pointed out the hypocrisy he saw in Republicans’ support of Trump despite numerous controversies.
“He concluded that this was a — the party bosses were reflecting the consensus of the American people who made a judgment. But Scott, I mean, there’s so many Republicans who I talked to who are overlooking far more than this. And they’ll tell you that about Donald Trump,” Axelrod said.
“You talk about deposing a president that’s exactly what he tried to do, overturn a free and fair election. A lot of Republicans know that they’ve said it, and yet they’re setting that aside,” Axelrod continued. “So I don’t think — you’re not on a strong footing here in making this argument.”
Jennings described Biden’s withdrawal as “weird,” emphasizing how Biden had won the primary without significant opposition and yet had been portrayed as capable of serving another term. He criticized the process as torturous and damaging to credibility.
“He won the primary without a serious challenge. He told us all he could serve. His party told us he could serve and he’s clearly diminished,” Jennings said. “And I think he ultimately arrived in the right spot as you know on the night of the debate I said this candidacy has fallen. He ultimately got here, but it was pretty torturous how they got here. And I think a lot of people burned a lot of credibility on the road to getting here.”
Biden’s announcement came after releasing a letter on X (formerly known as Twitter), stating his decision was in the best interest of the country and his party. His withdrawal followed public opposition from over 30 Democratic lawmakers and significant backlash from political pundits and major Democratic donors, who had frozen $90 million in funding to his campaign’s super PAC.
In response to his decision, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who had secured the required delegates to become the party’s presumptive presidential nominee.
Axelrod (Democrats) Gaslighting All Of America
Democrats asking Americans to ignore the coup that they staged against Joe Biden is simply asinine. Axelrod was one of the individuals who was trying to get as much media exposure as possible to point out how Joe Biden had no chance and therefore needed to step down.
This idea that Joe Biden reached this conclusion independently is just ignorant of the history of the past four weeks. As soon as the debate ended, the walls were closing in on Joe Biden even though he was very defiant. In fact, even in what is likely one of his very last Oval Office addresses, Joe Biden implied that he was preparing to be the nominee in November and potentially win another four years.
George Orwell would blush if he could see the way the controllers of the Big Media outlets are most obviously trying to tell Americans not to believe their eyes and ears.
