Kamala Harris’s line on a coronavirus vaccine is this: “If Donald Trump tells us we should take it, I’m not taking it.” It was her second time trying to sow doubt about a coronavirus vaccine. This time, at least, she said she might take a vaccine that comes out later this year, presumably only if Trump doesn’t talk about it.
Perhaps Harris meant to say, “If Fauci says it’s unsafe, but Trump says it’s safe, I won’t take it.” But we shouldn’t necessarily give her that credit, considering her past comments. A month ago, at length, she argued that Trump would rush out a rogue vaccine.
And if Trump says it, I’m against it, is simply the perfect motto for Democrats, and much of the media.
Policies that Democrats used to support, they came to oppose because Trump was for them. Truths the media used to espouse, they now denied under Trump.
When Trump said violence was a problem, the media and Democrats shifted from “people are getting gunned down in the streets” to “everything is awesome!”
Being worried about Russia was a punchline in 2012, when Mitt Romney said Russia was our “No. 1 geopolitical foe.” But then it looked like Trump was warm toward Russia, so Russia became public enemy No. 1.
Trump brought about peace accords between Arab countries and Israel, and that was attacked as a pro-authoritarian move. Trump killed a terrorist mastermind, and the terrorist became an austere religious scholar.
Michael Cohen, Anthony Scaramucci, and Rick Wilson all became good by opposing Trump.
Many cable hosts and millions of voters will change on a dime to follow Trump, but just as many define themselves in opposition to Trump. Kamala said it perfectly on Wednesday night.
