Kamala Harris has made the audacious decision to hit Donald Trump over his supposed age and infirmity.
Bold move — let’s see if it pays off.
It’s really quite baffling that the Harris campaign would choose to hit Trump on this issue when it only draws attention to the elephant in the room: How long did Harris know her own boss was unfit to serve another four years? What did she know and when did she know it?
The likely answer to these questions would be massively discrediting to her campaign. And it’s something Americans intuitively understand.
NEW: Over 250 doctors and health care providers call on Trump to release his medical records

Yet the campaign is still out on X appealing to (likely ideologically-driven) “health care providers” demanding that Trump release his medical records. The implication here is that Trump, at the admittedly old-ish age of 78, is hiding something that could make him unfit to serve.
“Hope he’s okay,” Harris mockingly said on X after her campaign account called Trump “lost, confused and frozen on stage” — no doubt a conscious nod to what Republicans said about Biden for years. Even Biden himself hopped in on the action.

But it’s not just the campaign; a new talking point memo must have gone out. In the past few days, the Democrat-media machine has been working in lockstep to push this new narrative. “Trump’s age has reshaped his campaign — and his staff is desperate to hide it,” wrote MSNBC, a theme echoed by many other outlets and hordes of lefty drones on X.
Of course, all of this applies to Joe Biden — still apparently serving as the leader of the free world — far more than it applies to Trump. Unlike Biden, Trump is still visibly energetic and articulate, hopping from city to city, day after, giving hours-long speeches off the cuff. No casual observer could deny that he’s anything but a spry 78. Yet the same politically motivated actors who worked tirelessly to conceal Biden’s decline for four years are now shamelessly trying to convince you to disbelieve your lying eyes.
It shows just how arrogant they really are over their control of media and flow of information. They’re clearly confident they can make this duplicitous argument without having to answer any uncomfortable questions of how it reflects back on them. But if there’s one thing Harris cannot answer for, it’s her culpability in covering up Biden’s glaring incapacity.
In a healthy society, Harris’ likely role here would be wholly disqualifying. However, we don’t live in a healthy society; we live in a repressive information environment where a dishonest media controls what millions of Americans believe. Harris’ best hope is allowing the media to memory hole the whole thing, and pretend it never happened.
Media lies might be powerful, but they can’t just erase the memory of the past four years while simultaneously reminding Americans what an old and senile president looks like. Honest observers instinctively know Harris had some part to play in the cover-up; there’s just no way she served as Biden’s wing-woman for four years while having no idea of his condition.
Americans may have begun to forget the dark Biden years, but now the Democratic-media machine is reminding them all over again.
