Much has been made of the barrage of media coverage on the more colorful figures in politics, yet when it comes to Kamala Harris, a curious silence persists. With just days before the election, the American public is largely left in the dark about the vice president’s personal life and her peculiar relationship with her father, Donald J. Harris, a Stanford professor whose economic views lean far left, and not in a vague way, either.
For those familiar with Donald Trump, the picture couldn’t be clearer. His life story—filled with his successes, his infamous hair, and, let’s be honest, his adventures in fast food—is an open book. Everyone’s read it, and it has captivated audiences from all walks of life. But Kamala Harris? She’s more like that obscure indie film that only shows up on the farthest fringes of a streaming service. There are unanswered questions swirling around, leaving voters to wonder: how well do they really know this candidate?
She's such a fraud. "RUN, KAMALA, RUN…"
There's Something Weird Going On With the Media Coverage of Kamala Harris and Her Marxist Father https://t.co/atl5YhAhFt

Unraveling the puzzle begins with the relationship—or lack thereof—between Harris and her father. Strangely, the two live a mere mile apart in Washington, D.C., yet maintain a radio silence that would make the most skilled diplomats proud. Interestingly, the man didn’t even make an appearance at the Democratic National Convention to support his daughter, who, let’s remember, was there to accept the nomination for president. Estrangement appears to be the term of choice in describing their relationship, which begs the question: what’s really going on behind the scenes?
Donald J. Harris, when not avoiding family gatherings, has produced economic writings that would make Karl Marx nod in approval. He has described his own work as “more unashamedly Marxist than anything in modern American politics,” proving that the left isn’t just content to express their opinions; they relish in their radical philosophies. Not to mention that he has been vocally critical of the very same open border policies that Kamala Harris has championed. Talk about a family feud, right? It’s not just a soap opera; it’s a political tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.
And then there’s Kamala’s rosy recollection of her childhood in her speeches—memories that evoke laughter and sunshine shine like a perfectly filtered Instagram post. Considering that her parents divorced when she was just seven, it raises eyebrows when she gives glowing anecdotes about her father’s advice to “run, Kamala, run.” Given the contentious nature of their split, one has to wonder if that memory was a product of her imagination, conjured up by a speechwriter with a penchant for fairy tales. If she’s drawing inspiration from her estranged father, it’s probably the “I’ll show him” kind of inspiration rather than a storybook version of family support.
During an election cycle, the immediate families of candidates are typically subject to a microscope of media scrutiny, with even the most distant relatives getting airtime. Remember the oddball characters like Roger Clinton or Billy Carter? But as the election looms, Harris’ own father seems to have slipped under the radar without so much as a whisper from the press. The Democratic nominee’s only living parent is getting the silent treatment, and it’s surprising that the media, which usually feasts on such details, is giving this a free pass. What’s the deal? One could chalk it up to favoritism, but it’s time to ask the hard questions about why the press has adopted a consistent hush on the topic. Is it a conspiracy of silence, or just a glaring omission?
