WASHINGTON, DC: It looks like Hillary Clinton couldn’t resist jumping into the spotlight. The twice-failed presidential candidate popped up via video to “surprise” fellow White House washout Kamala Harris during the former vice president’s book tour stop in Washington, DC this week.

The two traded compliments, shared laughs, and took turns dunking on their arch nemesis, President Donald J Trump.

On Thursday night in DC, the crowd erupted when Hillary Clinton appeared onscreen, grinning ear to ear.

“Hello Kamala!” Clinton chirped. “I debated Trump three times. You debated him once. He wouldn’t debate you again. We beat him four times. Do you think we’re the reason he is so unhinged today?”

Both Clinton and Harris have lost to Trump. Clinton in 2016 and Harris in 2024.

Kamala Harris’ cackle and commentary

Harris burst into her trademark cackle before giving her own take on Trump. She called the president “the most callous, corrupt, and incompetent individual” ever to sit in the Oval Office. The liberal audience lapped it up.

This wasn’t Harris’ first anti-Trump tirade of the week. Just days earlier, she unloaded a profanity-laced rant during her Los Angeles stop at The Getty Center.

“There is so much about this moment that is trying to make people feel like they’ve lost their minds, when, in fact, these m***********s are crazy!” Harris shouted to cheers from the far-left crowd.



 

“We are living history right now, and you all storytellers are living this. You’re not passive observers, you know that. You’re living it, and I would ask you that all the emotions that we are feeling—give those emotions, give that experience to those people that you are writing about and writing for,” Harris said.

Still spinning the 2024 loss

Harris insists that her defeat to Trump wasn’t a mandate for the GOP.  “Here’s the other thing that is quite unprecedented—and it was the tightest, closest presidential election in the 21st century. He does not have a mandate. That is not a mandate. That is not a mandate,” she declared during a Houston stop last weekend.



 

Her argument is that Trump’s supporters were duped. “I do believe that there are a significant number of people that voted for Donald Trump because they believed him when he said he was going to bring down prices,” Harris said. “And he lied. Today, the cost of groceries is higher, unemployment is higher, inflation is higher. He made them a promise he has not kept.”

Unfortunately for Harris, her claims don't change the scoreboard. In the 2024 election, she lost both the Electoral College and the popular vote to Trump. The final tally showed Harris with 75,019,617 votes to Trump’s 77,304,184, and just 226 electoral votes to Trump’s commanding 312. Every single one of the seven battleground states broke red.

Still, Harris has been clinging to the idea that the race was “the closest election in the 21st century.”

“By the way, what is also historic about that, in many ways, it was the closest election for president of the United States in the 21st century,” she said back in September during a stop at her alma mater, Howard University. “Period. Period,” she emphasized.
