Report: The Reason Kamala Skipped Out on DNC Night 2 Reveals Even More Drama and Democrat Division

I reported on Tuesday about unhappiness in the Biden camp with how Joe was treated on the first night off the Democratic National Convention, as well as some talk of "revenge." Granted, it's hard to know exactly what that might mean or translate to — if anything.

But despite Biden's remark during his speech that he wasn't angry about being shoved to the side in terms of the candidacy, he didn't stick around after he delivered his angry, slurring, lie-filled address. He was off to California for a week of vacation. So that's what he thought of the rest of the convention, Kamala Harris, and the "threat" of former President Donald Trump. He wasn't sticking around to hear the Obamas on Tuesday night, and he wasn't going to be there for Kamala Harris on Thursday night. So much for unity. 

In another interesting development, Kamala Harris didn't attend DNC Night 2 — when the Obamas were there giving their addresses, although her husband, Doug Emhoff, was in attendance and spoke.

Now, there's a report as to why, and it reveals more division.

VP Kamala Harris held an event 90 miles away from the DNC on the night the party’s two most popular figures, Barack and Michelle Obama, campaigned on her behalf – and a source familiar with DNC planning tells FOX says that choice was made out of sensitivity and respect to Joe Biden.

“Obamas are still not on the White House good side,” a source familiar with the situation said. “It would not be helpful to their relationships.”

Fox is told this plan came together to avoid the optics of Harris -- still serving as Biden’s Vice President -- appearing alongside one of the figures he views as responsible for driving the end of his reelection bid -- at the very convention which was supposed to be his only weeks ago.

“We are in tricky territory,” this source said.

It sure sounds like Biden is pretty angry to me. It's pretty funny that Kamala reportedly is doing this to try to assuage him and not be there for the Obamas, who are endorsing her. Is she fearful of the "revenge" if she further ticks him off in his final days occupying the office? And if she had any "sensitivity" or "respect" for Biden, she wouldn't have treated him like an old newspaper on Monday night, shoving his speech back so late. But then, if they had any "sensitivity" to the American public — the people they're supposed to be serving — they wouldn't be throwing "democracy" under the bus and acting like this to begin with. What a tangled web, but that's the Democrats in a nutshell — angry, unhappy, identity-fixated folks concerned about control.

Both Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, were at an event in Milwaukee on Tuesday night, something which is not generally a move one makes during a convention, so it fits the report. Who counter-programs against their own DNC event? 

Kamala spoke about her "people-powered campaign" — despite not getting one primary vote from the American people for the top position. 

She celebrated getting the nomination with the teleprompter and a cackle. 

I'm not sure I get the "freedom" signs when they seem to be "anti-freedom." But that's kind of like trying to claim they're about "joy" when the opposite is true.

Harris also claimed that she believed "in a future where we lower the cost of living," and she promised to "bring down the cost of groceries." 

Yet, she's been occupying office for more than three years. She was the tie-breaking vote — as Joe Biden reminded us in his speech — for legislation that helped to drive up inflation. She was all on board with the overspending. She's in power now as well. Why isn't she fixing it now if she knows how? 

Of course, the answer is because they're all fake, she doesn't know what she's doing, and she has bad policies. She can't run away from the failures in which she was and is involved.
