Kamala Harris is being hailed as a fearless warrior by her husband Doug Emhoff, who claims she can scent cowardice from a mile away. Emhoff, speaking at the Democrat National Convention in Chicago, is clearly trying to pump up the Vice President’s image while dodging some glaring truths. If Harris is as fearless as he suggests, she might want to consider stepping into the ring with her real opponent—former President Donald Trump. Instead, her idea of toughness seems to involve ducking a debate like it’s an incoming dodgeball.
Apparently @SecondGentleman
is as clueless as his wife & Joey. She's won't debate Trump on Fox, won't hold a press conference & shows no policy details.Doug Emhoff Claims Kamala Harris Takes Cowards ‘Head On’ After She Refuses to Debate Donald Trump https://t.co/oMlDtKdQiz

Emhoff touted Harris’s so-called toughness with all the drama of a late-night infomercial. He waxed poetic about her ability to confront “cowards,” while meanwhile, she appears to be taking a permanent sabbatical from facing Trump in a debate. Her resilience in the face of “global gangsters” is impressive—on paper. But real tough-guy stuff would involve actually competing in the political arena rather than embracing the cozy blanket of safe spaces and carefully crafted statements.
Just days ago, Trump revealed he would jump on a tele-town hall with Fox News after Harris made it clear she had no intention of appearing for a debate on September 4th. Unsurprisingly, she seems to prefer avoiding discussion about her spectacular record of flip-flopping on key issues, such as her infamous “no fracking in Pennsylvania” promise and her dismal performance as the so-called Border Czar. Unvetted individuals from across the globe continue to pour into the U.S. while she fiddles around with her talking points.
For a politician who supposedly can “smell weakness,” Harris seems to be sniffling in the opposite direction. When posed with the chance to defend her record, she has decided that silence is her best policy. As Trump pointed out on Truth Social, this inaction reeks of awareness on her part that her flip-flops could make for a rather uncomfortable debate stage. It’s as if Harris has decided that it’s better to face the fire from a distance than to potentially get burned up close.
The enthusiasm for a debate seems to have evaporated faster than a snowflake in July. Though Harris had verbally agreed to the idea back in the summer, the details of when and where remained murky. Now, with Trump reportedly suggesting a third debate, Harris’s quick retreat has crystallized the impression that her resolve is little more than a façade. If she can’t even muster the courage to face Trump, then that tough lady image being cultivated for the masses sits on shaky ground. Clearly, Harris might just be the very coward her husband insists she can spot from a great distance.
