Gingrich: Ask Yourself Two Questions Every Time You Hear One of Kamala Harris’ Empty Promises

  

To hear presumptive Democrat Party presidential nominee Kamala Harris talk, you’d think that for nearly four years, she hasn’t been the vice president of the most disastrous administration in at least modern U.S. history. Yet, there she is, out on the stump, promising to fix this and solve that — as if she hasn’t been up to her eyeballs in what she’s promising to fix and solve. She must not be let off that hook.

Writing in an opinion piece Sunday for Fox News, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich laid out a simple formula for holding Harris’ feet to the fire — all the way to Election Day. Gingrich kicked off his op-ed by referring to the last time the Democrat National Convention was held in Chicago, 56 years ago in 1968.

In 1968, a deeply split Democratic Party found its convention surrounded by thousands of militant anti-Vietnam War demonstrators. What would later be called a police riot exploded. Tear gas drifted from Grant Park into the convention center. 

The American people watched what was essentially a civil war within the Democratic Party on live television. Richard Nixon, the Republican presidential nominee, found himself much closer to the presidency at the end of that week.

Nixon went on to win the election.

“This year,” wrote Newt, “the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz team is hoping for a much quieter and more successful convention.”

Their issueless theme has been captured in recent articles about the so-called “politics of joy.” The great challenge for Vice President Harris and her team is that the “politics of joy” will be completely tone-deaf for many Americans.

According to RealClear Politics, 65 percent of Americans say our country is on the wrong track. Only 25 percent say we are moving in the right direction. This isn’t exactly joyful given Harris is the current vice president.

If your family budget is squeezed by the 20 percent price increases under the Joe Biden-Harris administration, you are not likely feeling joyful.

If you have no hope of buying a home because Biden-Harris policies have made it too expensive, you have no joy.

If your loved one was killed in the disastrous collapse in Afghanistan, you don’t feel joyful.

If your community is overrun with illegal immigrants allowed in under the Biden-Harris open border policy, you don’t likely have a great sense of joy.

If you are worried about the threat to Israel’s survival – and the rise of antisemitism on college campuses and in the Democratic Party, you don’t have much joy.

If you consider Walz’s failure to bring in the National Guard during the Minnesota riots in 2020 – or Harris’s effort to help bail out the rioters – you are not likely joyful.

In other words, if you live in the world of reality, Kamala’s “politics of joy” bite for you and your family.

At virtually every level of American life, the practical results of Harris and Walz’s “politics of joy” are angering Americans and killing their joy, Newt asserted. Toss in almost four years of Biden-Harris, and here we are.

The former Speaker suggested a simple way to hold Harris accountable for her past actions — and non-actions — in the ballot box.

As you hear each new false promise and nice sounding agenda item, you should ask yourself two simple questions: 

1. Why haven’t they implemented them over the last four years?

2. And why should we believe they would now?

Those two questions will reveal how phony and staged the entire Democratic National Convention will be.

Bingo. 

Harris was “the last person in the room” when Joe launched his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. Did she object to the way it was implemented? If not, why not?

Where was Harris as Biden continued to unleash Bidenomics on America, steadily driving gas prices, the cost of goods and services across the board, and ultimately, the ever-rising price of groceries? Did she object along the way? If not, why not?

And why should we believe her now — other than when she promises “communist” price controls

Gingrich used Harris’ flip-flop on fracking as a perfect example.

A good example is Harris’s brand-new position on fracking. She has always said she opposed fracking. Now that she needs to carry Pennsylvania – which has two of the four largest natural gas fields in the world – she has suddenly softened her position. 

Which Harris do you believe: The old San Francisco radical who has always been for the Green New Deal and against fracking, or the new vote-hungry candidate eager to say whatever you need to hear to get your vote?

Newt suggested we should all watch the Democrat National Convention when in begins in Chicago on Monday.

The Democratic National Convention in Chicago will be worth every American watching – simply as an exercise in detecting hypocrisy. You will learn how much more radical they are than anyone you know. You will see just how much they are willing to lie to get your vote.

You will be able to decide for yourself if the Democratic National Convention represents “the politics of joy” – or the same old radical leftwing baloney disguised by the propaganda media.

I’m going to give it a shot, Newt — but I can’t make any promises.
