Kamala Harris Repudiates Her Boss

The failed Democrat presidential nominee released an excerpt from her new book, and the tone-deaf revisionist history takes no responsibility for her own failings.

In our next installment of leftist revisionist history, Kamala Harris is adding her voice to the mix. Her upcoming book, 107 Days, documents her abysmal presidential run after Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race.

This week, The Atlantic posted an excerpt from her book. “The biggest surprise in Kamala Harris’s forthcoming account of her rough-and-ready, intense, and absurdly condensed campaign for president, 107 Days, may be that it is filled with surprises,” Jeffrey Goldberg notes in the teaser. “I read it last week, expecting lawyerly calibration and discretion. This careful Harris is present, but so too is another Harris: blunt, knowing, fervent, occasionally profane, slyly funny. As you will see in the following excerpt — and throughout this newsworthy book — she no longer seems particularly interested in holding back.”

If one needed any more confirmation that Harris likely had a ghost writer, Goldberg’s accolade of “slyly funny” would be it.

The portion of the book excerpt that has everyone talking is Harris finally addressing the Biden-sized elephant in the room. She says that the lead-up to her taking over the ticket was fraught and that encouraging Biden to drop out was not something she was prepared to do.

It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.

We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.

And of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out. I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run. He would see it as naked ambition, perhaps as poisonous disloyalty, even if my only message was: Don’t let the other guy win.

Harris also denies Biden’s obvious physical and mental decline, but she covers all her bases and ends up with an incoherent mess for her trouble. First, she claims there were “months of growing panic” about his cognitive decline leading up to that infamous June 2024 debate with Donald Trump. Then later she writes:

Many people want to spin up a narrative of some big conspiracy at the White House to hide Joe Biden’s infirmity. Here is the truth as I lived it. Joe Biden was a smart guy with long experience and deep conviction, able to discharge the duties of president. On his worst day, he was more deeply knowledgeable, more capable of exercising judgment, and far more compassionate than Donald Trump on his best.

But at 81, Joe got tired. That’s when his age showed in physical and verbal stumbles. I don’t think it’s any surprise that the debate debacle happened right after two back-to-back trips to Europe and a flight to the West Coast for a Hollywood fundraiser.

I don’t believe it was incapacity. If I believed that, I would have said so. As loyal as I am to President Biden, I am more loyal to my country.

Tell that to CNN’s Jake Tapper, who has already confessed — albeit disingenuously and for purely monetary reasons — that President Biden was in decline and that Democrats covered it up.

Yet despite Harris’s “loyalty,” she fumes that White House staffers undermined her at every turn. Naming no names, the ex-veep wrote:

When Republicans mischaracterized my role as ‘border czar,’ no one in the White House comms team helped me to effectively push back and explain what I had really been tasked to do, nor to highlight any of the progress I had achieved.

Later, she added:

They had a huge comms team; they had Karine Jean-Pierre briefing in the pressroom every day. But getting anything positive said about my work or any defense against untrue attacks was almost impossible.

Worse, I often learned that the president’s staff was adding fuel to negative narratives that sprang up around me.

Harris was infamous for her staffers quitting. She had a reputation for being a bully who blamed any personal shortcomings on her employees. This was a pattern throughout her tenure as vice president.

Apparently, it’s a pattern she’s content to continue in her book. Instead of taking responsibility for her dereliction of duty — not only for the open southern border but for failing to invoke the 25th Amendment — she has chosen to blame everyone but herself.

Kamala Harris can rewrite history all she wants, but we were there. We saw her refuse to visit the porous southern border, insisting that nothing could be done to stem the flow of illegal aliens. President Trump has simply enforced the law, and illegal immigration has dropped to record lows. We saw her defend Biden’s decline while the man clearly wasn’t doing well. We have the receipts, and they don’t look good for Harris or her upcoming book.
