Suddenly, the presidential election has turned dynamic… even fun!
The handoff from Biden to Kamala Harris has not only energized Democrats, but it’s also driving the Trump Party’s top leaders absolutely crazy. Of course, that’s a very short ride for most of them.
Take Andy Ogles, a far-right congressional goober from Tennessee who lunged for the media spotlight as soon as Biden endorsed Harris. He breathlessly called for the immediate impeachment of the vice president, squawking that (get this) she had covered up Biden’s physical decline, thus making her guilty of misleading the people and the Congress about the well-being of the President. If ignorance is bliss, Ogles must be ecstatic. Hello – Biden’s supposed decline has hardly been a secret, with Republicans and the media harping on it for months. But today’s hyper-partisan MAGA-heads don’t let reality block their stupidity.
Indeed, the entire Republican hierarchy has joined the Silly Parade, trying to slap down Harris’s candidacy. GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson, for example, has shriveled himself and his office by pushing the absurd “Myth of the Stolen Nomination.” Incredibly (literally) Mike pretends to be the champion of the 14 million Democrats who voted for Biden in the party’s primaries, asserting that elevating Kamala “steals” the votes of Biden backers.
Gosh, Mikey, thanks for your deep concern for Democratic voters, but maybe you should ask them if they want you to be “their savior.” Those 14 million Biden voters also chose Harris to be VP, and they are actually excited to have her now lead the ticket.
Besides, maybe you should mind your own party’s business, including, your Lord Trump’s whiney attempts to steal the last election by trying to cancel the votes of millions of Americans.
