Mainstream media outlets like ABC News, the host of tonight’s presidential debate, have a reputation for favorably covering Democratic presidential candidates during election seasons. This year, the trend continues in the form of the constant polishing and promotion of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Monday evening, U.S. Senator Katie Britt appeared on Hannity to discuss Harris’ shortfalls and draw attention to the lack of focus on her failed policies, particularly from outlets like ABC News.
“It’s sad because the American people are about to elect the next commander-in-chief,” said Britt (R-Montgomery). “We need a commander in chief that will have a secure border, that will allow our dollar to go further, that will actually govern in a way that creates peace through strength. And that is President Donald Trump.”
“They are not making Kamala Harris answer for any of the failed policies that she has helped enact over the last four years. They’re not making her answer for the fact that she is being dishonest to the American people every time she does open her mouth about these policies, and she changes direction.”
In its latest desperate attempt to shore up Harris’ sinking numbers, the Associated Press is making the case that Harris is an everyday American capable of connecting with prospective voters through her favorite foods.
“From talking about nacho cheese Doritos as her snack of choice to washing collard greens in the bathtub, Harris is aiming to connect with voters on a more personal level,” read the article. “While learning that she likes to munch tortilla chips at snack time likely isn’t enough on its own to sway anyone to vote for her, the small — and sometimes amusing — details could help Harris show she can relate to people and their concerns.”
After her appearance on FOX, Sen. Britt also took a shot at Harris’ cowardly campaign strategy and the media’s enablement in a post on X.
Kamala Harris would rather talk pepper, not policy. And the media seems more than willing to play along.
But this election is about who’s up to being Commander in Chief—about which candidate will deliver stable prices, secure borders, and safe streets. That’s President Trump. pic.twitter.com/ambrdu0Oay
