Kamala Harris, the failed presidential candidate whose campaign fizzled out faster than a soggy firecracker on the Fourth of July, is now scrounging for cash in what can only be described as a desperate move worthy of a late-night infomercial. In her latest fundraising email, she’s capitalizing on the nomination of Matt Gaetz as Donald Trump’s Attorney General—a choice that has apparently left even Gaetz’s Republican buddies scratching their heads and wondering what the heck is going on.
Reports indicate that Harris’s campaign racked up a whopping $20 million in debt during her last campaign stretch, an impressive feat given that some people struggle to spend their way out of a paper bag. Her email paints a picture of doom, displaying Gaetz as a villain in a plot that not even Hollywood could dream up. One has to wonder if this new “Harris Fight Fund” is really about holding Gaetz accountable or if it’s simply a cover for her attempts to refill her empty campaign coffers.
🚨🚨OUTSTANDING!!🚨🚨
The DOJ and FBI tried to frame @mattgaetz. He is the perfect choice to dismantle the deep state and end these corrupt agencies and bad actors who grifted for the progressive Democratic party establishment. pic.twitter.com/nSRsEtPZ4J— Matthew S. DePerno, Esq. (@mdeperno) November 13, 2024
As if one eyebrow-raising nomination weren’t enough, Harris’s email also takes a shot at Trump’s pick of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, dubbing it a “disturbing pattern” of selecting “unqualified people.” This characterization raises a few eyebrows, especially when considering that Hegseth is not just any talking head from Fox News; he’s a decorated infantry officer with years of combat experience under his belt. Invoking a decorated military veteran in a conversation about qualifications vs. political gamesmanship seems a little rich coming from an administration that has struggled to recognize the achievements of those who actually serve the country.
Meanwhile, the email also claims that Gaetz and Trump have sinister plans to “weaponize the DOJ” against their enemies. This is especially ironic coming from an administration that has appointed a special counsel to investigate Trump based on charges that—while technically legal—seem to have originated in a playground spat. One could almost hear the laughter from a distance, as this email suggests that what Trump is doing is some nefarious revenge plot, while conveniently ignoring the political persecution dished out by her own administration just because they don’t like losing.
In her email pitch, Harris asks for contributions of $50 or “whatever feels right,” which feels a bit like begging for change outside a convenience store rather than making a convincing argument for political donations. It shows how desperate she is to keep the lights on in her dimming political operation. It’s worth noting that Gaetz resigned his House seat just before Harris began her fundraising frenzy, which has many speculating that she’s just trying to ride on the coattails of a situation to revitalize her flagging political stature.
In the grand scheme of political theatrics, watching Harris attempt to capitalize on Gaetz’s nomination feels somewhat tragicomic. One can only imagine how she must feel standing in the shadows of a former presidential candidate trying to regain her footing, all while aiming barbs at someone who, whether friends or foes care to admit it, has kept the political drama alive and well in D.C. Harris’s fundraising efforts seem more like a cry for help than a serious political maneuver, drawing attention to her own fracturing campaign rather than to the alleged threats posed by Trump and Gaetz.
