President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> announced this week that he has nominated Jamieson Greer to serve as the next U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in his new administration.
&#8220;Jamieson played a key role during my First Term in imposing Tariffs on China and others to combat unfair Trade practices, and replacing the failed NAFTA deal with USMCA, therefore making it much better for American Workers,&#8221; Trump said in a statement.
&#8220;His efforts under the former USTR, Bob Lighthizer, a spectacular leader and person, helped spur the return of Manufacturing jobs to America, and reverse decades of disastrous Trade policies,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Jamieson will focus the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on reining in the Country’s massive Trade Deficit, defending American Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Services, and opening up Export Markets everywhere.&#8221;
Greer, who served as the chief of staff to Lighthizer, is known for having the same hawkish views as his former boss when it comes to dealing with communist China.

Republican senators expressed support for Greer&#8217;s nomination while reacting to the news on X.
&#8220;Jamieson Greer is an extraordinary choice to be our country’s next Trade Representative,&#8221; said Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). &#8220;President Trump knows he will work to make trade deals that put America FIRST!&#8221;
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) wrote: &#8220;I look forward to meeting with USTR nominee Jamieson Greer and discussing how we can work together to advance a pro-America, pro-manufacturing, and pro-job agenda.&#8221;
&#8220;Another great pick by President Trump! Jamieson Greer will work diligently to combat the threat of Communist China and bolster American manufacturing,&#8221; added Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL). &#8220;I look forward to his quick confirmation!&#8221;

Trump said that Hassett will be responsible for renewing and improving the tax cuts that he helped implement during his first term in office and implementing fair trade deals with countries that have taken advantage of the U.S.
&#8220;Kevin will also play a key role strengthening our Economic relationships with Allies, new and old, while also securing Prosperity for the American People,&#8221; Trump added.
Hassett earned his PhD in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and has taught courses as a professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Business and New York University’s Law School.

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/the-view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; — who have, like many in legacy media, often trashed President-elect Donald Trump for disrupting &#8220;norms&#8221; — suddenly don&#8217;t care about norms anymore now that President Joe Biden only has a couple months left during which he could issue a pardon to his embattled sun Hunter.
The cohosts discussed the topic at length on Tuesday — three weeks to the day since Trump won a decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris — because they appear convinced that Trump will use his second term in office to punish his political enemies in the same way that Biden&#8217;s Justice Department came after him.

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the conversation, asking whether Biden should pardon his son — and got a chorus of positive responses from the audience before the others at the table even weighed in.
&#8220;Does that make him an even bigger target for you-know-who coming in?&#8221; Goldberg asked, still unwilling to say Trump&#8217;s name aloud. &#8220;It&#8217;s a — interesting question, which I pose to you all.&#8221;
&#8220;So, personally, I think I would pardon my child,&#8221; Alyssa Farah Griffin replied. &#8220;I don&#8217;t even have kids, I&#8217;d bury a body for my child, so I get it as a personal decision. I worry a little bit about the implications for the country, and I mean this not because hunter Biden affects the country but because there&#8217;s such a distrust in the powerful, the politically connected, and there&#8217;s this idea that there&#8217;s a different system of justice.&#8221;
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
Griffin concluded by noting that the indictments against Trump had gone away &#8220;because he&#8217;s in power&#8221; and argued that was the same.
Sunny Hostin also was in favor of a pardon for the younger Biden, claiming that he was only prosecuted because his name was Biden and ignoring the fact that the cases she had whole-heartedly supported against President-elect Trump, by most accounts, were only brought because his name was Donald Trump.
&#8220;I actually think that the only reason he was indicted was because his last name is Biden,&#8221; she said.

Cohost Sara Haines favored a pardon as well, suggesting that Biden had earned the right to pardon his son because he&#8217;d been such a good president. Haines also made a case for Biden to pardon his dog, Commander, who bit multiple Secret Service agents in some two dozen incidents. The dog was never formally charged.

Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; campaign chair Jen O&#8217;Malley Dillon blew off criticisms during a recent appearance on the liberal podcast &#8220;Pod Save America,&#8221; claiming that Harris&#8217; obvious avoidance of tough interviews was just perception driven by &#8220;the narrative.&#8221;
Dillon joined several of the campaign&#8217;s top officials — David Plouffe, Quentin Fulks, and Stephanie Cutter — for their first interview since Harris lost her 2024 White House bid to President-elect Donald Trump, and their post-mortem focused on the failures of the American people to see through media narratives rather than any possible faults in their own candidate or campaign.

She went on to argue that Trump — who, along with Vice President-elect JD Vance, was doing dozens of rallies and interviews — was not being held to the same standard as Harris, which she said further complicated matters.
&#8220;But real people heard, in some way, that we were not going to have interviews, which was both not true and also so counter to any kind of standard that was put on Trump, that I think that was a problem,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Being up against a narrative that we weren&#8217;t doing anything, or we were afraid to have interviews is completely bulls***, and also like took hold a little bit, and we just, it gave us another thing we had to fight back for that Trump never had to worry about.&#8221;
Dillon also complained that the questions Harris often got when she did make appearances were frequently &#8220;processy,&#8221; meaning that they did not do much to help voters get a better view of Harris or her policies.

A popular YouTube show called &#8220;Hot Ones&#8221; turned down then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris&#8217; request to appear on the show, saying that they wanted to steer clear of politics.
The revelation was made this week when top Harris aides appeared on “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-adviser-public-polls-showed-leads-over-trump-that-we-never-saw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pod Save America</a>,” where they discussed what went wrong in the campaign.
“&#8217;Hot Ones,&#8217; which is a great show, they didn’t wanna do any politics, so they weren’t going to take us or him,” senior campaign adviser Stephanie Cutter said, <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/26/us-news/youtube-show-hot-ones-turned-down-kamala-harris-pre-election-interview-request/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the New York Post. “So that was the issue.”
&#8220;Hot Ones&#8221; features celebrities and other special guests eating increasingly hot wings while host Sean Evans interviews them.
Cutter said the Harris team got the same reaction from other types of non-political media they tried to book. Now-President-elect Donald Trump, however, did not have the same issue, the top aides confided.
“I don’t think he had the same problem,” Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris&#8217; campaign manager, told the podcast. Trump “certainly was able to tap into some cultural elements in ways that we couldn’t,&#8221; she added.

&#8220;The idea that it would be more politically problematic to have on Kamala Harris, the sitting vice president of the United States, than Donald Trump, a man who’s been convicted of a crime and tried to violently overthrow the election,&#8221; <span class="c5aZPb" role="button" data-enable-toggle-animation="true" data-extra-container-classes="ZLo7Eb" data-hover-hide-delay="1000" data-hover-open-delay="500" data-send-open-event="true" data-theme="0" data-width="250" data-ved="2ahUKEwiu_aS9kv2JAxUHLtAFHYYQAOUQmpgGegQIGxAS">Pfeiffer complained. 
During the same episode, the Harris team discussed why their candidate never appeared on &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; podcast despite an invite. Much has been made over the omission, since it&#8217;s the most popular podcast in the world and has an exceptionally large young male audience &#8212; a demo Harris did not deliver in.
Senior campaign adviser David Plouffe shockingly suggested host Joe Rogan did not have pure intentions and was using the invite as “leverage” so now-President-elect Donald Trump would appear in the Austin-based studio.
“So what’s clear is we offered to do it in Austin, people should know that,” Plouffe said. “It didn’t work out. Maybe they leveraged that to get Trump in studio, I don’t know.”

Democrat strategist Theryn Bond is not on board with a potential third presidential run for Vice President Kamala Harris, who recently lost the 2024 election to President-elect Donald Trump and failed to launch her 2020 bid past the end of 2019.
Bond joined the hosts of Newsmax&#8217;s &#8220;National Report&#8221; on Tuesday when the conversation turned to Harris&#8217; political future — which, according to a report from POLITICO, could include either a third run for the White House or a run for governor in her home state of California.

When asked whether she thought Harris was making the right decision when she promised donors and allies that she intended to stay &#8220;in the fight,&#8221; Bond made it clear that she didn&#8217;t believe that fight should extend to another presidential campaign.
&#8220;Not to run for president again in 2028. Please don’t,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;I can’t really speak for governor of California. Californians seem to support her significantly,&#8221; Bond continued. &#8220;We haven’t yet been able to measure what that support looks like after this current run she just had. That may be the only thing that she, I guess, may make sense for her to consider, but another shot at the presidency, I hope she doesn’t, and if she is relying on those same advisers that advised her this cycle, that’s not who I would listen to.&#8221;

Bond is not the only one who&#8217;s not thrilled about a possible third Harris campaign. Democrat megadonor John Morgan also cautioned her against another attempt, criticizing her campaign for blowing through more than $1 billion and still coming up empty in 2024.
Morgan told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo that Harris&#8217; mismanagement of her campaign and money &#8220;disqualified her forever,&#8221; adding that she &#8220;cannot be trusted with the money.&#8221;
&#8220;If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run America,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The same thing is going to follow Harris for the rest of her career. She cannot be trusted with the money, and the donors are going to be, like, ‘Where is this money?’&#8221;

Incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt torpedoed The Washington Post over a media request the outlet sent to her, sharing screenshots of blatant attempts to tie President-elect Donald Trump to an act of racism.
Leavitt posted a photo of the email from The Washington Post on her X account, tearing into the outlet for attempting to use such a situation to foment racial division and then blame Trump for it, despite even admitting that Trump was not remotely connected to the event in question.
&#8220;I just received one of the most absurd emails EVER from the Washington Post,&#8221; Leavitt began. &#8220;This &#8216;reporter&#8217; is doing gymnastics to try and sow division and blame President Trump for something that he admits in his email has no trace to him whatsoever.&#8221;

The email, sent by a reporter named Emmanuel Felton, was about a racially charged incident that took place in Lawnside, New Jersey, within days of the 2024 presidential election. A local resident had reported seeing spray-painted slurs using the &#8220;n-word,&#8221; and Felton wanted Trump&#8217;s team to respond to the following section of the report:
<blockquote>What happened in Lawnside was part of a wave of racial incidents that occurred in the days following Trump&#8217;s reelection. Around the time that Hines&#8217; fence was sprayed, black people across the country were receiving text messages that said they&#8217;d been &#8220;selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation.&#8221; And at the same time that Lawnside residents came together to discuss the graffiti on Hines&#8217; fence, a group of self-identified Neo-Nazis marched and shouted the same slur in Columbus, Ohio.</blockquote>
In the very next sentence, Felton gave away the game, however (emphasis added): &#8220;While none of these events can be traced directly back to Trump, experts say that his rhetoric has been tied to an increase in hate crimes across the nation.&#8221;

Several of President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s Cabinet nominees and administration appointees were targeted with dangerous threats over the last 24 hours, the Trump team announced on Wednesday.
&#8220;Last night and this morning, several of President Trump&#8217;s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them. These attacks ranged from bomb threats to &#8216;swatting.&#8217; In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action,&#8221; Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
&#8220;President Trump and the Transition are focused on doing the work of uniting our nation by ensuring a safe and prosperous future,&#8221; she added. &#8220;With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us.&#8221;
In a <a href="https://x.com/MacFarlaneNews/status/1861822250791403524" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>, the FBI acknowledged the threats to Trump&#8217;s nominees and appointees.
&#8220;The FBI is aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners,&#8221; the bureau said. &#8220;We take all potential threats seriously, and as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement.&#8221;
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Trump&#8217;s pick to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, later revealed she and her family were targeted by a bomb threat.
&#8220;This morning, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, her husband, and their three year old son were driving home to Saratoga County from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence. New York State, County law enforcement, and U.S. Capitol Police responded immediately with the highest levels of professionalism,&#8221; Stefanik&#8217;s congressional office said in a statement.
&#8220;We are incredibly appreciative of the extraordinary dedication of law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe 24/7,&#8221; Stefanik&#8217;s office added. &#8220;We want to share our best wishes to the Upstate NY community for a happy and safe Thanksgiving. We are especially grateful to our law enforcement officers and military families who are on duty over the holiday season.&#8221;
Others followed with announcements that they, too, had been targeted.
Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), Trump&#8217;s nominee for EPA administrator, <a href="https://x.com/AndrewSolender/status/1861830167796023603" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> a &#8220;pipe bomb threat targeting me and my family at our home today was sent in with a pro-Palestinian themed message.&#8221; He added that his family was not at home at the time and said they are working with law enforcement.
Trump&#8217;s pick to lead the Agriculture Department, Brooke Rollins, <a href="https://x.com/BrookeLRollins/status/1861826151179559053" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X that on Wednesday morning &#8220;we learned that a threat was issued against our home and family. She also thanked the Fort Worth Police Department for their &#8220;swift efforts&#8221; and noted that she and her family were safe.
Rep.

A spokesperson for the White House <a href="https://x.com/kathrynw5/status/1861858179824353475" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> President Joe Biden had been briefed on the threats to Trump&#8217;s picks.
&#8220;The President has been briefed.

President-elect Trump himself survived an assassination attempt this past summer during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in which he got shot in the ear, one rally-goer was killed, and two others were injured. The gunman was killed by Secret Service counter-snipers.
There was an alleged second attempt on Trump&#8217;s life at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that Republican governors needed to ship illegal aliens in their states to Denver after far-Left Denver Mayor Mike Johnston vowed to protect them from being deported after President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in.
In an interview with a local publication, Johnston <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/denver-mayor-warns-trump-of-tiananmen-square-moment-if-he-rounds-up-illegal-immigrants">said</a> he would deploy the Denver Police Department “stationed at the county line to keep [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers] out.”
He went even further, warning of a “Tiananmen Square moment.” He also said that he was willing to go to jail to stop the deportations.
Cruz reacted to the comments during the most recent episode of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
Cruz began: “So, the mayor of Denver has said, &#8216;We want illegal immigrants in our city. We will fight to keep illegal immigrants in our city. I don&#8217;t care that the voters don&#8217;t want it. I don&#8217;t care what Federal law says. I don&#8217;t care about the women being murdered, the women being raped, the children being assaulted.'&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to call right now for Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, for Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, and any other red state governor, to start sending buses to Denver, Colorado,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to urge the state government of Texas to send every one of the illegals who comes into the state to Denver, Colorado, drop them off in front of the mayor&#8217;s residence.&#8221;
&#8220;He wants them there. He&#8217;s willing to go to jail to fight for them to be there, fine,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We will send you the Venezuelan gang members to your city. And let&#8217;s see, you know, I&#8217;m going to predict right now the residents of Denver aren&#8217;t going to like this.&#8221;

Verdict with Ted Cruz

Tesla CEO Elon Musk ripped into California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom after Newsom proposed a move that would shut out Tesla from customer rebates offered to other electric car manufacturers.
On Monday, Newsom <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/11/25/as-california-achieves-historic-milestone-governor-newsom-commits-to-restarting-states-zev-rebate-program-if-federal-tax-credit-is-eliminated/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that if President-elect Donald Trump eliminates a federal ZEV tax credit, Newsom would propose creating a new version of California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program, which expired in 2023. Newsom’s “office told Bloomberg News that the current proposal includes market-share limitations that would exclude Tesla’s popular EV models,” Bloomberg News <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-25/california-pledges-ev-buyer-rebate-if-trump-kills-7-500-credit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, adding that Newsom’s office stated, “It’s about creating the market conditions for more of these car makers to take root.”
“This is a slap in Tesla’s face,” Gene Munster, managing partner of Deepwater Asset Management, commented.
“Even though Tesla is the only company who manufactures their EVs in California! This is insane,” Musk blasted on X.

“Tesla’s models do qualify for the federal credit, which was introduced as part of President Joe Biden’s signature climate bill, the Inflation Reduction Act,” Fortune <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/11/25/tesla-excluded-from-ev-buyer-credits-in-california-proposal-newsom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.

In May 2020, Musk threatened to leave California after shelter-in-place orders forced him to shut down his sole car factory in the United States. In mid-May 2020, he indicated how fed up he was with California&#8217;s leftist governance, apparently urging followers on Twitter to join the conservatives of America, as he famously tweeted, “Take the red pill.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In December 2020, Musk revealed he had left California and moved to Texas. Musk’s move came after months of openly criticizing California’s response to the COVID pandemic. At the end of April 2020, speaking on a Tesla earnings call, Musk ramped up his rhetoric about shelter-in-place orders around the nation, calling them “fascist.” Musk stated, according to <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/29/21242102/elon-musk-coronavirus-fascist-shelter-in-place-tesla-covid-19-safety-science" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Verge:</a>
<blockquote>We are a bit worried about not being able to resume production in the Bay Area, and that should be identified as a serious risk. The expansion of shelter-in-place, or as we call it, forcibly imprisoning people in their homes, against all their constitutional rights, is, in my opinion, breaking people’s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong, and not why people came to America and built this country. What the f***!</blockquote>
He continued: “If somebody wants to stay in the house that’s great. They should be allowed to stay in the house and they should not be compelled to leave. But to say that they cannot leave their house and they will be arrested if they do&#8230; this is fascist. This is not democratic. This is not freedom. Give people back their godd**n freedom … Everything people have worked for all their lives is being destroyed in real time. I think the people are going to be very angry about this and are very angry.”
In July 2024, Musk pronounced that Newsom’s “career is over.” In mid-July, Newsom <a href="https://www.kcra.com/article/gov-newsom-signs-transgender-parental-notification-ban-in-schools/61602990" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> into law AB 1955, which barred school districts from alerting parents of their children’s sexuality or if they used pronouns or had adopted gender identities that conflicted with those on their school records. Musk recalled that he had warned Newsom  in 2023 that if the law were passed, it would force families and companies to leave California &#8220;to protect their children.”
Musk announced that he would relocate his companies out of the so-called Golden State in response to the passing of AB 1955, tweeting, “This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Newsom then mocked Musk, <a href="https://x.com/GavinNewsom/status/1813352967946592648" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> he &#8220;bent the knee&#8221; to then GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump with his support.
That prompted author and journalist Michael Shellenberger, a foe of the environmental movement who also challenged Newsom in two gubernatorial elections, <a href="https://x.com/shellenberger/status/1813356520777920920" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to fire</a>, “You took the most beautiful state and made it the ugliest. You increased homelessness by 40%. You let addicts die on the street. You unleashed violent crime. Now you’re trying to medically mistreat children. You’re the worst governor in our state’s history. Resign.”
Musk then offered his succinct conclusion to the episode, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1813567451269157321" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing bluntly</a>, “Gavin’s career is over.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-kerry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kerry</a>, who served as President Joe Biden&#8217;s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate up until March of this year, said late last week that a climate emergency needed to be declared.
Kerry made the remarks on Thursday at a recent John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum as the 29th United Nations climate change conference (COP29) concluded.
“I think, personally, we&#8217;re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry said. “And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet, to everybody.”
Kerry said that it was America&#8217;s responsibility to pay for energy infrastructure in Africa because the U.S. is the world&#8217;s leading economy.
&#8220;People in Africa who don&#8217;t have electricity need to choose the right kind of electricity and we need to help them be able to afford it and do it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have the largest economy in the world — $24 trillion or $23 trillion economy, maybe more by now.&#8221;
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
&#8220;The next closest is China at about $18 trillion,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And, the next closest to the two of us — Germany and Japan at $4 trillion. That’s how far it drops down. You don’t think we have some sort of obligation out of that to be responsible? I think we do.&#8221;
He said that the U.S. needs &#8220;to make it happen&#8221; because &#8220;nobody lives as an island in this process, on this planet.&#8221;
&#8220;And no one country has enough money to deal with the climate crisis,&#8221; he said.
He claimed that &#8220;the economics of climate work favors people who are feeling the pinch of inflation.&#8221;

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> was criticized online after the Democratic Party posted a video of her on Tuesday evening that many on social media said showed what appeared to be her in an inebriated state.
&#8220;I just have to remind you, don&#8217;t you ever let anybody take your power from you,&#8221; Harris said in a video address to her supporters.
&#8220;You have the same power that you did before November 5th and you have the same purpose that you did and you have the same ability to engage and inspire,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;So don&#8217;t ever let anybody or circumstance take your power from you.&#8221;

Thousands of users on X speculated that Harris had been drinking based on the way she appeared while making the remarks.
&#8220;Honestly I saw a lot of the chatter about Kamala and alcohol over the last year and didn’t pay much mind but … wow yeah she’s wasted,&#8221; said author Bethany S. Mandel. &#8220;I understand that whoever did this did it as revenge. But here’s what I take from it: She’s got a problem. And Democrats knew it and put her up anyway. Just like they knew that Biden had a problem and covered it up. They created a trust deficit that will take years to regain.&#8221;
Trump adviser Tim Murtaugh posted on X: &#8220;Take some time to reflect on the fact that they posted this on purpose.&#8221;

&#8220;She’s totally hosed,&#8221; said political commentator Jack Posobiec.
&#8220;I’m not sure you guys want to be amplifying this,&#8221; said media analyst Joe Concha. &#8220;There’s something, ummmm, off with the vice president.&#8221;
&#8220;She looks like she just got back from a three week bender,&#8221; said journalist Jordan Schachtel.
