DNC Tries to Cover up Kamala's Disastrous NATO Mistake

Over the weekend, I reported on a big mistake Kamala Harris made while she was speaking at the DNC. It started as one of her typical word salads but then it ended with a big problem.

“So, I will say what I know we all say and I will say over and over again, the United States stands firmly with the Ukrainian people in defense of the NATO Alliance.” Now there isn’t any question that what she said, the video makes it clear and as I noted, it’s a big problem if she didn’t understand that Ukraine isn’t part of NATO. Plus, saying it like this — particularly at this time — could lead to more issues with the Russians using the comment as a provocation.

But then I noticed that Fox News had added an “and” into the quote in their account so it read “So, I will say what I know we all say and I will say over and over again, the United States stands firmly with the Ukrainian people [and] in defense of the NATO Alliance.” The reason Fox added it in was that the White House cleaned up the transcript and added that in. But that isn’t what she said. Not even close. Sometimes you add in things like that [ ] if what was meant was clear but something was left out. But you don’t add it in to change the nature of what was said to cover her mistake. The White House transcript is supposed to be the historical record of what occurred and they’re messing with that to cover up that she was wrong.

But there’s more.

How do we know she meant it in its original form? It was tweeted out by her Twitter account, @KamalaHarris three days after her actual remarks.

“When I was in Poland, I met with U.S. and Polish service members, thanking them for standing with our NATO allies for freedom, peace, and security,” a tweet from the @KamalaHarris account stated. “The United States stands firmly with the Ukrainian people in defense of the NATO alliance.”

The tweet also showed Harris meeting with members of the American and Polish military.

But then they deleted it from the account then posted a new tweet with the “and” added. And in the process, we find out something interesting — that it’s the DNC who’s running Kamala’s account. So a spokesperson from Harris’ office tried to lay it off on them.

“The ‘and’ was omitted by accident, so we took it down and reposted with the correct remarks,” the DNC said in an emailed statement to Fox News.

Hilarious, it wasn’t “omitted by accident” — she never said it. And if the DNC is running her account, they’re ignorant that they posted what she said without realizing the problem, even after the White House had run the cover-up on the transcript.

Rebekah Koffler, a former DIA intelligence officer and author of “Putin’s Playbook: Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America,” told Fox News Digital that the tweet from Harris’ account “simply confirmed to the Russians what they suspected all along – and that is that Ukraine is de facto already halfway into NATO.”

Unfortunately, we have the Biden-Harris folks in charge now so it’s a constant effort to deal with all the mess they leave in their wake and it puts us all in a more dangerous position.
