CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 26, 2024
YOU’VE HEARD OF AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE. IN SOME CULTURES, PARENTS PICKOUT A WOMAN FOR A MAN TO MARRY. OFTEN THE COUPLE HAVE NEVER MET, AND KNOW NOTHING ABOUT EACH OTHER.
DOES THAT REMIND YOU OF A CURRENT POLITICAL CANDIDATE? KAMALA HARRIS IS THE SELECTED “BRIDE.” WE ARE BEING ASKED TO PERFORM AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE. SHE WON’T SIT FOR A SERIOUS INTERVIEW. SHE WON’T HOLD A NEWS CONFERENCE. IT’S LIKE SHE HAS A VEIL OVER HER. SHE GOES ON OPRAH’S LIVESTREAM SHOW AND CLAIMS TO OWN A GUN AND SAYS SHE WILL SHOOT ANY INTRUDER. DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THAT? OPRAH NEVER ASKED THE OBVIOUS QUESTION: WHAT KIND OF GUN? OPRAH SAID HOPE AND OPTIMISM WILL RETURN IF KAMALA IS ELECTED. WHAT HAVE WE HAD THE LAST FOUR YEARS – DEPRESSION AND PESSIMISM?
THE LEFT IS RUNNING AN ANTI-TRUMP CAMPAIGN, NOT A PRO-HARRIS ONE. THE LEGACY MEDIA IS FINE WITH THIS. IF THE SITUATION WERE REVERSED, AND IT WAS A REPUBLICAN CLAMMING UP AND NOT DOING INTERVIEWS OR HOLDING NEWS CONFERENCES, REPORTERS WOULD BE HOWLING AND DEMANDING ANSWERS. BUT AS WALTER CRONKITE USED TO SAY IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT – THAT’S THE WAY IT IS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
