In an opinion editorial by Richard McDonough for Conservative Daily News, the author criticizes the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for their perceived manipulation of presidential campaigns.
McDonough argues that the DNC had initially portrayed President Joe Biden as a sharp, energetic leader fighting for marginalized people. However, he suggests that this image was shattered during a debate with Donald Trump, where Biden appeared disoriented and incoherent, leading to his alleged removal from the ticket.
According to McDonough, the DNC then considered California Governor Gavin Newsom as a potential candidate. Despite Newsom's ability to present himself well, McDonough argues that his governance has turned California into a "lawless needle strewn homeless camp." Furthermore, the author suggests that Newsom's ambitions for the 2028 elections and his inability to claim Biden's campaign funds led the DNC to dismiss him as a viable candidate.
McDonough then turns his attention to Vice President Kamala Harris, who he claims the DNC were "stuck with." He criticizes her tenure as "border Czar," her alleged avoidance of press conferences, and her supposed inability to handle foreign leaders. The author also accuses Harris of engaging in "childish ramblings" and "embarrassing cackling and giggling fits."
The author suggests that the DNC's strategy is to rebrand Harris, despite her lack of significant accomplishments. McDonough argues that the DNC is attempting to engineer a surge of popularity for Harris based on "nothing. No policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons." He also claims that many of Harris' staff resigned due to her being a "soul destroying" boss.
In conclusion, McDonough accuses the DNC of being more interested in constructing "fairytales" than in finding real solutions to the American people's problems. He cites several alleged hoaxes, including claims that Trump praised Nazis and White Supremacists, colluded with Russia, led an insurrection, and called to terminate the Constitution. McDonough suggests that even Republicans from Maine to Alaska might now understand the DNC's tactics.
