Now that the failed, disastrous Biden administration is fading into history, the tell-all books are coming out fast and furious, and, hoo boy, there are some stunning nuggets in them. When I say stunning, it’s not because they’re unexpected—we at RedState reported all along Joe's declining mental condition and the corrupt efforts to cover it up by his family and closest advisors—but because hearing it in their own words makes you angry all over again and further reveals how many true hypocrites and liars were working at the top of government and media.

We’ve reported on how hapless Joe had to be led around like a puppy with neon tape laid down to show him where he was going, how he was mentally out to lunch prior to the disaster debate that marked the beginning of the end for his reelection campaign, how Obama worked behind the scenes to kneecap Kamala Harris’ campaign, and more.

Speaking of the Queen of the Word Salads, one of the new books reports that it was a spectacularly bad moment in particular that shocked even her top advisor at the time (emphasis mine):

A former top advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris' failed presidential campaign was shocked when Harris told "The View" that she wouldn't have done anything different from President Biden, according to a new book by reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes.

With roughly one month to go until the November election, Harris famously told the liberal hosts that nothing "comes to mind" after they asked her to name something she would've done differently than Biden over the past four years.

Harris senior campaign advisor Stephanie Cutter was floored at Harris’ response, according to Allen and Parnes' new book released this month entitled, "FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House."

"What the hell was that?" Cutter recalled thinking to herself. "That’s not what we practiced."

It is a moment that will be studied in the “Worst Campaign Fails of All Time” class:

That was all the ammunition the Trump team needed, and they wasted no time in brutally (but fairly) using it to their advantage. Epic:

It was, as they say in tennis, an unforced error:

The gaffe became a moment that defined Harris’ campaign and provided ammunition for her opponent.

The Trump campaign immediately seized on the gaffe and started sharing the clip to voters via social media and text message that afternoon.

"It provided the money shot" for Trump’s ad makers," the book quotes a Harris ally as saying. "And it was her own bad moment."

"When she gave us the gift of the View interview, we were able to anchor her to the Biden administration in her own words, which is something we were trying to do anyway," one Trump advisor says in the book.

In my view, that moment was the end of her campaign. We had seen the results of Biden’s rule—rampant inflation, an open border, the utter failure of the Afghanistan withdrawal, Joe’s relentless focus on divisive race and gender issues—and Americans wanted change. To some, Kamala represented that change, but she blew it so badly on this appearance that you could almost hear the Fat Lady singing.

If her top advisor had any brains, she should have started to look for a new job that very day.

America dodged a bullet when Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris at the ballot box.

One reason why he won is because conservative outlets like RedState kept bringing you the unvarnished truth, and we didn’t try to gaslight you like the mainstream media did.
