Ed Morrissey: Democrats Offer One Truth at Convention

Home

As the Democrats gather this week in Chicago, one ABC News host pressed Democrat strategist and Kamala Harris surrogate Kaivan Shroff to explain why Harris has refused interviews or press conferences or to publish her policy positions on the campaign website. Shroff offered a true insight into both the Democrat nominee and the media around her.
“The more details you share, the more your policies are going to get picked apart,” Shroff observed, and then added, “I trust the journalists to explain these policies and our values to folks.”

That should shock American voters. First, because Harris and her campaign don’t believe she should be transparent about her policy agenda. It’s the Nancy Pelosi formula again, only this time for the presidency: You have to elect Kamala before you can know what’s “inside” her policy agenda.

Second, because Democrats expect the media to essentially campaign for her.

“We all know how this works,” Shroff said.

We certainly do—and it’s not healthy for the nation.
