Just when you thought the Democrats couldn’t sink any lower, here comes Vice President Kamala Harris and MSNBC with a cozy little scandal that perfectly sums up their brand of back-scratching politics. Turns out, Harris’ failed campaign slipped a cool $500,000 to Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network nonprofit right before sitting down for a glowing interview on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation.
And what does MSNBC say about this blatant conflict of interest? They were “unaware.” Of course they were. Just like they’re unaware of journalistic ethics and the concept of full disclosure.
The timeline is as shady as a Hollywood handshake. Harris handed Sharpton’s nonprofit two hefty donations—$250,000 in September and October. Then, on October 20, Sharpton hosted Harris for a puff-piece interview, gushing over her legacy and comparing her to Shirley Chisholm. Did Sharpton disclose that Harris had just greased the wheels with his nonprofit? Of course not. Why let facts get in the way of a good lovefest?
Here’s the kicker: MSNBC claims they had no idea this happened. Sharpton didn’t inform “network brass” about the donations, and the network hasn’t even hinted at holding him accountable. Meanwhile, Sharpton was back on MSNBC’s Morning Joe this week, as if nothing happened.
The whole affair reeks of the Democrats’ favorite pastime: throwing money at their problems. Harris wasn’t just cutting checks to Sharpton. According to FEC filings, her campaign shelled out $500,000 to Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions in October, just weeks after Winfrey hosted Harris at a town hall event. Harris’ allies admitted the full price tag for the Winfrey production was closer to $2.5 million. And what did the American people get in return? More empty platitudes about “fighting for dignity” and “making history.”
This fiasco is a perfect example of why Americans are fed up with the left. Democrats love to rail against “dark money” and corruption, but when it comes to their own campaigns, they’re handing out cash like candy on Halloween. And let’s not forget, this is the same Kamala Harris who couldn’t even hold onto her own supporters after a billion-dollar campaign disaster.
Meanwhile, President-elect Trump is gearing up to deliver real results. While Harris and her media allies are busy playing make-believe about her legacy, Trump is focused on securing borders, reviving the economy, and putting America first.
The Democrats want to distract you with shiny interviews and celebrity endorsements, but the American people see through it. Trump’s victory proves that voters are done with the left’s empty promises and self-serving antics.
