Like so many of her answers, and the 39-day gap between announcing her candidacy and taking an interview question, it left viewers wondering what she actually believes. It all bespoke a strategy of running out the clock without trying to make a play before Nov. 5. If journalists won’t ask, Harris certainly won’t tell. And if she does, she will do so in her native tongue. Harris speaks, as her first language, Platitude.
She spoke of “a new way forward,” blah, blah, blah, “the climate crisis is real,” blah, blah, blah, “It is important to build consensus,” blah, blah, blah, “Stand true to our principles,” blah, blah, blah, “spent my career inviting diversity of opinion,” blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That, in a word, sums up the interview. It was neither helpful nor damaging but blah.
