Thursday has become one of the worst days in Vice President Kamala Harris' mismanaged and flailing presidential run. Let's take a stroll through a few of the previous troubling incidents and statements so far, and see where it leads.
Team Harris began the day with catastrophic tidings via the poll analysis of Nate Silver...and whispers continuing to swirl like the Sonoran Desert's monsoon winds that the campaign is having regrets about who Kamala picked as her running mate.
Democrat veep nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz didn't have things any better, with the revelation of his comments of effusive support for pro-Hamas protesters reminding everyone why he was little more than a security blanket for Harris during her recent shambles of an interview with CNN.
But perhaps more damaging was that Walz also received a subpoena from the U.S. House of Representatives, after reports surfaced that he and his gubernatorial office, along with a shady nonprofit in Minnesota and the chief of the Minnesota Department of Education, may have acted in a conspiracy to bilk taxpayers of $250 million meant for COVID-19 relief in schools.

Things only went downhill from there for Harris-Walz in the evening, though. During a campaign stop on Thursday, Ohio Senator JD Vance, the 2024 Republican vice presidential nominee, spoke about the horrific school shooting in Georgia on Wednesday, in which two teachers and two children were murdered by another student.
As my colleague, Bob Hoge wrote, not only did the Associated Press mangle the factual wording of what Vance said, but the Harris-Walz campaign mimeographed it to commit what could charitably be described as a character assassination on former President Donald Trump's running mate:

Hoge called it a disgusting display, and he nailed it in one word. Here, though, is the icing on the campaign collapse cake for Kamala. In contrast to the single-A, sophomoric work product of the Harris social media hooligan squad, Team Trump must have had its top-tier rapid response team on the clock tonight--because they didn't mess around and demolished that dumb post to smithereens.
Here's Team Trump's spot-on response, which put the other folks' post right to bed:
Kamala's interns just released a statement pushing FAKE NEWS that the Associated Press just retracted.

Watch the full video and you'll clearly see that JD Vance does not say what they claim he said.
These morons do nothing but lie every single day. https://t.co/CBKVC5Favg pic.twitter.com/HGXWLSVqQU
In case you can't see the post, it reads:

There isn't one incorrect word in that post. Lying is all that the Democrats do, and to do it when something can be so easily debunked in an instant says so much. These are hateful and dishonest people, who must have a lower skill level at basic marketing than your average associate at a cellphone case kiosk at the mall.
How in the world did anyone decide that these people should be in charge of making the vice president of one of the worst presidents in U.S. history appear to be a palatable choice for the American people come November? Whoever hired them should hand them their pink slips first thing on Friday morning, and then tender their own resignation immediately.
Anyway, it's too late for Team Harris to, in a manner of speaking, "be unburdened by what has been":
Too late. The internet is forever. https://t.co/crN7nZwF4c
