Kamala Harris Admits She Wasn’t Fit to Be President … Without Knowing She Admitted It

In her new book out Sept. 23, Kamala Harris flat out admits she wasn’t fit to be President of the United States.

She just doesn’t know this is what she’s admitting.

Several excerpts from her book, “107 Days,” point to this unwitting confession.

Too Rattled by Biden Call

At the end of the Goldie Hawn-Chevy Chase comedy “Seems Like Old Times” all matter of chaos and craziness is breaking out while Hawn’s character and her husband are hosting the California governor for dinner. As plates, people, and chicken pepperoni are crashing around in and outside the dining room, the governor is unperturbed. “Notice how I remain calm?” he says, casually picking up his wine glass. “I do that because I’m the governor.”

Harris is considering running for that job as California governor. But unfortunately, she does not remain calm. She gets rattled by even a simple phone call.

Shortly before her debate with Donald Trump—her makeup already on, her hair in curlers—President Joe Biden called. Either Uncle Joe was so far gone he’d need SpaceX to bring him back or he deliberately wanted to sabotage his VP. Rather than a simple “Go get ‘em, kid,” Biden began blabbering about some major donor in Philly unhappy with rumors Harris was going to distance herself from her boss. He then reminisced about his own debates with Trump. Harris was thrown for a loop.

“My head had to be right. I had to be completely in the game,” she wrote. “I just couldn’t understand why he would call me, right now, and make it all about himself. Distracting me with worry about hostile powerbrokers in the biggest city of the most important swing state.”

Harris had been Biden’s VP for four years. She knew his mental state. She knew he drones on worse than a Grateful Dead concert jam. She probably even had some idea he didn’t really want her to win. But rather than keep focus on her imminent duel with The Orange Man, Harris got spooked by the wayward octogenarian.

How would Nancy Pelosi have handled that call from Biden? The former speaker reportedly would hit mute whenever President Barack Obama would start pontificating during their phone calls. Heck, Harris was only the nominee because Pelosi got in Biden’s grill and threw away a 50-year friendship to tell him to hit the road.

Not Harris. She got so agitated that her husband had to tell her to “let it go.” Imagine someone this easily rattled and distracted dealing with high stakes calls from the likes of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

Too Scared to Pick the Gay Guy

Harris refused to hire somebody because he is gay. Normally, that would bring condemnation. Here, it’s just Harris’ confirmation she wasn’t presidential timber.

The former Democrat nominee writes that Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg was her first choice for running mate. However, she chickened out because he’s gay.

Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner—if I were a straight white man,” she wrote. “But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.”

Harris is admitting she is too timid to be president and doesn’t trust her own judgment. If she truly thought Buttigieg was the best person to help her run the White House, she should have made the pick. Back in 1992, Bill Clinton bucked traditional wisdom by selecting as his running mate another young politician from the South, Al Gore. It worked.

Also, with this confession Harris admits she doesn’t trust the American people or think much of us. Raise your hand, America. Could we support a woman of color married to a Jewish guy and a gay VP if they had the right policies and experience? Sure. No problem.

Note to Harris: One of the chief qualifications for president is believing in the people you are hoping to lead.

Harris also rejected Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as a running mate partly because he wanted to be in the room when she made final policy decisions. According to the Daily Mail, her team also worried about Shapiro being “wildly ambitious politically.” This is admitting her fear of being overshadowed. Consider a President Hillary Clinton. (Don’t make a face. I’m making a point.) Even if Vice President Tim Kaine were in every meeting would there’d ever be any doubt who was president?

However, Harris first nixed Shapiro—who would have tremendously boosted her chances in an election that had too much “at stake” to risk Buttigieg. Then she picked a guy who makes Buttigieg look like Chuck Norris.

Too Scared to Admit Dudes Shouldn’t Be in Women’s Sports

Donald Trump repeatedly hit Harris with an effective attack: “Kamala is for they/them, I am for you.” And Harris had no effective response. She was not “going to turn my back” on the LGBTQ community, Harris says, even though she knew males competing against females was inherently unfair.

“I agree with the concerns expressed by parents and players that we have to take into account biological factors such as muscle mass and unfair athletic advantage when we determine who plays on which teams, especially in contact sports,” she writes.

But did not have the courage to say so on the campaign trail.

Democrat or Republican, we need presidents who are like the little kid willing to say the emperor has no clothes. Harris demonstrates she is not only afraid to say the emperor has no clothes but would recommend the perfect shoes for his non-existent outfit.

We wish Harris a new career she can embrace with relish, passion and effectiveness. But as her own words in her 2024 campaign autopsy prove, she never was cut out to be President of the United States.
