Asked about the report during an interview Tuesday with Howard Stern, Harris said Woodward’s reporting was an example of why Trump cannot be trusted as commander-in-chief, because she said he is easily manipulated by authoritarians he hopes to befriend.

“He admires strong men, and he gets played by them because he thinks that they’re his friends, and they are manipulating him full time and manipulating him by flattery and with favor," Harris said. “Remember, people were dying by the hundreds, everybody was scrambling to get these kits … and this guy, who was President of the United States, is sending them to Russia to a murderous dictator for his personal use.”

      If Kamala isn’t morally responsible for the actions of the Genocide Joe administration, despite participating in it, why has she done nothing to be like say “I think a stern hand like Eisenhower or Reagan, literally sanctioning Israel, to keep them in check, serves both nations, like it did under Eisenhower and Reagan?” Which would do nothing to alienate the new Cheney DNC base?

        Why would the vice president be morally responsible for the actions of the president? If my boss supports something immoral that’s completely out of my control, am I morally responsible for their actions?

        They exist as a backup and to cast the tie breaking vote in the senate.

        You may be surprised to hear Kamala is the 2024 democratic nominee, and is therefore able to decide for herself what she’s running on, sans Genocide Joe’s input.
