After whining for weeks that Kamala Harris had not subjected herself to a media inquisition since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Trump and his MAGA minions are still unsatisfied following her interview with CNN’s Dana Bash. However, what is probably most disappointing for them is that she conducted herself admirably, showing intellect and compassion.

Of course the Trump cult didn’t like it. There was none of the bile and bombast that Trump is famous for. She didn’t spew any inflammatory lies, infantile insults, hostile attacks, or racist rants. And there was not even a mention of sharks, windmill cancer, or Hannibal Lecter. It’s amazing that, without that psychotic rhetoric, she is still managing to beat Trump in most of the recent polls.

Consequently, Trump is resorting to reliance on some of his fringiest followers to float his political fortunes. He took to his failing Truth Social scam site to offer some praise to White nationalist rage-caster, Charlie Kirk, with a one line, unadorned, and mysterious post saying only “Thank you to great journalist, Charlie Kirk!’

It didn’t take long to discover why Trump was so pleased with Kirk’s alleged journalistic skills. Kirk had just posted a video of himself disparaging Harris in the most vile and misogynistic terms. And Trump’s accolades came less than twenty minutes later. Kirk was reacting to Harris’ interview in a predictably malicious manner. What follows are some choice excerpts from his overheated harangue (video below)…

• “Kamala Harris says her values haven’t changed. So your Marxist values haven’t changed?”
  Kirk obediently adopts Trump’s lingo that has no basis in reality.
• “Kamala Harris screams as somebody who has unaddressed, lingering father issues. By the way, you know her father does not like her and wasn’t even at the convention?”
  Harris’ parents divorced when she was seven and she was raised by her mother. Kirk fails to mention that Trump’s own wife is almost never with him (at rallies, or court, or dinners at Mar-a-Lago). Melania made a token appearance at the RNC at the very end, and she never addressed the convention or spoke to the press.
• “She always needs to have a man around.”
  So Does Trump. But actually, Harris does almost all of her public appearances solo.
• “Kamala Harris was attacked by her Jamaican father over her pot smoking joke.”
  So what? It’s not like Jamaicans aren’t known for their ganja habits. And this may be one of the reasons she didn’t invite him to the DNC.
• “Kamala Harris is not confident in her own standing. She’s not confident in her own position because she didn’t earn it.”
  Where Kirk sees any lack of confidence is a mystery. And if being an elected District Attorney, Attorney General, and U.S. Senator, from the biggest state in the union, and the first woman Vice-President isn’t “earning it,” WTF is?
• “She’s a radical, not confident in her beliefs, insecure, and a nervous wreck.”
  This sounds like a much better description of Donald Trump. Especially after finding out that he’s running against Kamala Harris.

For the record. Kirk has a long and well documented history as a right-wing extremist and White nationalist. Which makes him just the sort of cretin who would appeal to Trump. He holds extraordinarily repulsive views including the racist “White Replacement Theory” that posits that Democrats are trying to import foreigners in order to shift the balance of the electorate. What’s more…

• Kirk was a guest speaker at last months MAGA RNC Convention.
• Kirk has hosted MAGA big shots including Lara Trump, who joined him to advance the lie that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen.”
• Kirk platformed blatantly violent wingnut provocateurs including one who asked him “How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?” Kirk wasn’t bothered by this advocacy of political assassination and murder expressed by a guest on his show.

That’s the guy that Trump just thanked for being a “great journalist.” Meanwhile, Trump says that actual journalists are “the enemy of the people,” and calls for their arrest and incarceration. And Trump is the guy that Republicans still support as their candidate for president. That should tell you something about what remains of the once “Grand Old Party,” and why no one should vote for any Republican.
