Why I Don't Like Kamala Harris
/It’s a brand new year, and we’re close to the inauguration of former President Donald Trump, yet the 2024 election results are still an enormous conversation. A critic asked a question under a Les Miserable parody video that I think is worth answering (The full video is below, but the comment is here.).
“Why don’t you like her? Like actual practical reasons not personal attack. You don’t have to vote for her but seems unnecessary.”
I have explained, in great detail, why I did not—and would never—consider voting for Vice President Kamala Harris. If you watch my weekly live streams, I’m certain you could list the reasons backward and forward. Besides that, I have a “50 Reasons Not to Vote for Kamala Harris” video that was not difficult to compose. The most difficult part was editing it down to 50 and keeping the video under 8 minutes. I’ve made videos explaining how grotesque her position on abortion is, and why I believe Harris was a threat to my religious liberty. She was a threat to our rights in general. There’s a plethora of content fleshing out why I didn’t like her for the position, including reasons that extended beyond her.
But let me try to answer this as simply as I can.
I have never liked Kamala Harris. In 2019, she was my least favorite Democrat in their entire roster of presidential hopefuls. Part of me wanted her to be the nominee just to see her lose against Donald Trump, but the more logical side said, “No, I wouldn’t even want to risk someone like her being the president. Let her go down in flames during the primary.” And, she did.
Unfortunately, the power of DEI compelled Joe Biden to select Harris as his VP candidate, and their administration was a monstrosity.
But why did I dislike her so, and why did my opinion of her worsen?
My issue with Harris is that she’s one of the most insincere politicians in modern history. Harris was so desperate to be relative that she threw all dignity, honesty, and common sense to the wayside. For example, as a senator, she compared ICE agents to the KKK. She leaned into racial division, even though the evidence screamed that her narrative was pure delusion. Remember Jesse Smollett? Remember when she helped fundraise money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund to bail out BLM rioters? How about when she told Jacob Blake that she was proud of him? Or how about when she pushed the “whipping Haitian migrants” hoax because she was too boneheaded or politically motivated to know what split reins were?
Harris truly illuminated my radar during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing when she announced—before hearing his side of the story—that she believed Christine Blasey Ford. This former District Attorney and Attorney General of California didn’t care about the evidence. She cared about the outcome. It’s no wonder why the quintessential image of Kamala Harris to many voters remains to be her cackling on the Breakfast Club about her use of marijuana, while knowing she locked away many black men for similar offenses. They think of her laughing about sending homicide detectives to arrest parents for truancy or prosecuting a pro-life activist for exposing Planned Parenthood for selling baby body parts. Millions of Americans were baffled by the fact that “cop vs the felon” wasn’t a slam dunk of a campaign, not realizing that millions of Americans saw the election as an “abuse of power vs the people.” Harris had the audacity to mock Trump for being a “felon” on the debate stage, even though his crime amounted to misfiling checks, which paid for a private matter with private funds.
The perfect Harris moment happened during a Democratic debate in 2019 when Harris accused Biden of trying to stop her from integrating into public school. When Stephen Colbert asked Harris how she could be so buddy-buddy with Biden after slamming him, she cackled and said, “It was a debate.” It was as simple as that. Harris said what she said because she was trying to win.

Harris didn’t change. Her 2024 campaign was centered around lies. Donald Trump wasn’t going to implement Project 2025’s “pregnancy registry.” As a matter of fact, that’s not even in the 900-page document. Harris had the audacity to spread the “very fine people” hoax and claim Trump was going to ban abortion “whether the women like it or not,” even though Trump never said that. Harris even had the audacity to misrepresent the death of Amber Thurman, a mother who died after complications from the abortion pill. Even though a federal abortion ban likely would have saved her life, Harris presented Thurman’s story as if she died from doctors failing to treat a miscarriage due to “Trump’s abortion bans.” Instead of drawing attention to alleged medical malpractice, Harris used this family to try and end millions of more innocent lives. Harris even had the audacity to go on Club Shay Shay and claim Donald Trump was the one who wanted to take away gun rights. Never mind the fact that Harris signed an amicus brief during the DC v Heller arguing that Americans don’t have a right to private firearm use. Not only had Harris repeatedly advocated for gun control and confiscation; she literally supported bans in California (Prop H) and tried to have the courts forever ruin our Second Amendment.
How insulting it would have been if America rewarded Harris and the Democrats for trying to paint Trump as too old and senile to do the job after passionately defending Biden’s competency, even after Robert Hur’s report. Now, the media admits Biden’s cognitive decline was an “underreported” story as reports come out that his staff was sheltering him the whole time.
I often repeated this during the tail end of the election cycle: watch how they attack each other. Donald Trump focused on things Harris undeniably said and did IN CONTEXT to prove how horrible she was. One of the most effective ads was: “Kamala is for they/them. Trump is for you.” Harris HQ spliced soundbites to push lies. Harris pointed to imaginary positions in Project 2025 instead of focusing on Agenda 47. She even tried to make herself the true border hawk and pro-gun candidate, even though her history states otherwise.
Some claim that Harris changed her views, but she never gave a coherent argument to justify that claim. Senator JD Vance used to be against Trump, but he has a coherent argument explaining why he changed his mind. Harris was never made to justify her past radical positions. But these weren’t hypothetical positions she penciled in her handy dandy notebook. These were things she advocated for, voted on, implemented, etc. The media should have asked, “If you do support gun rights today, are you grateful that conservatives were able to stop you?”
The final nail in Harris’s coffin—for me—was having the audacity to reject religious exemptions for the sake of codifying Roe v Wade on the federal level. Why on God’s green earth wouldn’t Harris offer exemptions for Christians? I had no choice but to interpret that as abortion is more than a woman personally sacrificing her child on the altar of self. It’s a sacrament for our nation, and everyone must be made to participate. I saw it as a declaration of war.
So, no, I don’t like her. I don’t like her politics, and I don’t like her as an individual. Harris was not simply a person from the other side of the aisle with whom I disagreed. Her professional career is littered with detestable behavior to obtain and maintain power so that she can implement detestable and incompetent policies. I’ll pray for her to do better and be better, but I will never trust her with higher office, and I’ll gleefully celebrate her political failures.
