Former CNN lefty crank John Harwood has admitted what we all know.

Kamala Harris is putting off interviews, instead favoring highly controlled, scripted teleprompter-dependent appearances, because she will not be able to hide her radical positions and lack of substance from the public.

It has been 35 days since Harris was installed and she has still not given a single interview or hosted a press conference. 

As Harwood admits, she is taking the Joe Biden basement campaign approach because “she’s trying to win the election.”

Perhaps he doesn’t think Harris can win the election if she has a news conference or does an interview?

Harwood writes at Zeteo, “I have no doubt Harris will do that when her campaign decides the time is right. But the amount of access will never be enough for reporters because she’s trying to win the election.”

He added, “Her answers would make headlines for a media outlet and gratify the ego of the reporter involved. But they probably wouldn’t help her beat Trump. That’s why Republicans demand she take questions as loudly as journalists do.”

Republicans want Kamala Harris to hold more news conferences and submit to more interviews

so do journalists

why won’t she do nearly as many as they’d like?

because she’s trying to win the election

Trump War Room provides a helpful reminder of what happens when Harris sits down for an interview.  It’s no wonder she is hiding.

Harwood became embroiled in scandal after the October 2015 primary debate when he bragged about interrogating and mocking Republican presidential candidates.

After the debate, he bragged to the Clinton Campaign in an email about how he treated the GOP candidates.

President Trump described Harwood perfectly to Fox News Digital after Harwood’s departure from CNN was announced in 2022, saying, “He was a third-rate talent who never caught on because people didn’t trust or believe in him.”

In a moment that will be etched into the annals of American history, President Donald Trump took the stage in Glendale, Arizona, and introduced none other than Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a roaring crowd of thousands.

The atmosphere was electric as Trump and Kennedy, two titans of American politics from vastly different backgrounds, stood shoulder to shoulder in what can only be described as a hair-raising, monumental alliance.

Kennedy then endorsed President Trump and his promise to tackle the most important issues facing the country today: the assault by the left on free speech, the chronic health crisis today in America, and ending the war in Ukraine.

The announcement left Democrats in shock, not knowing how to reply. CNN’s Erin Burnett called the RFK Jr. endorsement, “It’s huge. It’s everything.”

But it looks like Trump is not finished yet.

Robert Kennedy, Jr., tweeted on Sunday that his endorsement “is only the beginning.”

And, Kennedy then added, “Wait till you see the next additions to President Trump’s Unity Government.”

Oh boy! This could get really interesting, really fast!

This is only the beginning. Wait till you see the next additions to President Trump’s Unity Government. #UniteAmerica #MAHA https://t.co/bkUM5QhcQP

On Saturday, the CEO of the popular messaging app Telegram was arrested at Le Bourget airport in France for refusing to comply with the country’s censorship laws.

Pavel Durov, 39, was arrested on the tarmac as he got off his private jet from Azerbaijan.

On Saturday evening Mike Benz, the founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online released a video explaining who he believes is behind this arrest – The US State Department.

Benz is an authority of the Deep State and the US government operations in Europe and abroad.

Mike Benz: I’m here in the airport in Austin, and was just on this space with Mario and Andrew Tate and kim. Com and a bunch of people. I wanted to make a point, but I think they booted me before I could say anything, so I’m just going to make it here. On the news of Pavel’s arrest, the founder of Telegram, this is something that I see going up to the US State Department. Wow, surprise, surprise, that’s my take, but that’s what it is.

One of the things they’re talking about in the space right now is what can be done. The fact is, the House Foreign Affairs Committee could subpoena or could demand as part of its oversight all communications between the US Embassy in Paris, that is the State Department’s branch in France, for their communications with prosecutors or government officials about Havel’s arrest prior to the arrest.

Because I believe the State Department is, at the very least, if not outright pushing, participating in this political prosecution. The State Department has been going after Telegram. Now, they don’t want to shut Telegram down. Let me explain this. Telegram is a double-edged sword for the State Department.

Telegram played a major role in the State Department’s fomenting of the Colour Revolution in Belarus in the summer of 2020. The National Endowment for Democracy, the US State Department, and USAID were all funding the major organisers of the street riots in Belarus and using Telegram as the main channel to organise those street riots because Telegram has such ubiquitous use in Eastern Europe, also in Russia, also in Ukraine. So they loved Telegram as a way to organise, rent a riots, to destabilise Lukashenko’s government.

And I bet that they would do the same if they didn’t. I’m not aware of it just because I haven’t looked into it. But I bet that when Alexei Navalny was deployed against Russia from his right wing flank in organising peaceful protests in Russia. I bet Telegram was used by the State Department as the coordination then because I know that it was in Belarus. Now, on the other hand, the State Department pressured actually astrtufed with tens of millions of dollars, the government of Brazil, to bring Telegram to its knees. Brazil passed a ban, actually made it a crime to access Telegram for several weeks in 2022 until Telegram agreed to the new counter-misinformation laws that were lobbied for by the US State Department’s NGO Soft Power Swarm.

So what they want to do is not kill Telegram like they wanted to kill Wikileaks. They want to control it. And the problem was, is they didn’t have the ability to put sufficient pressure on Pavel to break his will. So he was living in Dubai. Now they have leverage. I believe that’s the purpose of this prosecution, not to establish a legal precedent that every encrypted chat app, its founder, is personally responsible for all illegal conversations or transactions on the platform, but rather to force Telegram to become WhatsApp.

This is what they did to WhatsApp, by the way. Through this regulatory pressure, WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. They broke WhatsApps back. Now, this is why I always say, don’t say anything on WhatsApp that you don’t want put on a Times Square Jumbotron, because the whole thing is fed f*cking central. They broke it.

I watched that happen, by the way. The Atlantic Council played a huge role in that with seven CIA directors on its board and annual funding from the Pentagon, the State Department, and CIA cutouts like the NED. Sorry, I’m just in the airport, so I’m looking around.

They didn’t want to shut down WhatsApp. Whatsapp is used by everybody in Latin America and South America, and half in India. They want to control it, to be able to have their own personnel in place to install and oversee the policies in every country on Earth in order to shape the political outcomes from the inside of every country on Earth to determine their elections. This is what they did to WhatsApp and Telegram in Brazil.

When I say they, I don’t mean the government of Brazil. I mean the US State Department, the US Embassy, the US-funded institutions like the Atlantic Council, the Wilson Centre, the God, there’s a million of them. The National Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute, the NED. Thousands of these, at least hundreds that I’ve documented, were all capacity-built. Then there’s The whole government programme, SETs, which you’re going to be learning a lot more about in the months ahead. The $150 annual budget and $40 million of it was in Brazil to lobby for these censorship laws. I believe that they thought that they needed leverage against Telegram to finally be able to bring it under their control.

Remember, this is very important in the State Department and the Pentagon’s view for winning the war against Russia via Ukraine, because all the Russians use Telegram chats for the ability to have a backdoor to access.

Here is the video, via Mike Benz.

Mike Benz also pointed out that a CIA cut-out is bragging about the utility of arresting Pavel Durov and its significance in winning the globalist’s military war against Russia.
