Watching Kamala Harris and her allies insist that racism and sexism explain her crushing defeat is insulting to every American who actually cares about performance in office, not identity politics. Former President Biden even told ABC’s The View that he believed gender and race played a role in her loss, a convenient narrative the left now leans on to dodge accountability.
Meanwhile, the hosts of The View rushed to amplify that excuse, gasping and nodding like a choir instead of asking hard questions about policy failures and voter concerns. The show’s co-hosts openly debated whether criticism of Harris was rooted in racism or misogyny, choosing emotional posturing over sober analysis of why voters rejected the Democrats.
Conservative commentators aren’t the only ones calling foul — Dave Rubin pulled up a DM clip showing Harris peddling a line to The View that simply doesn’t square with the record, and he wasn’t shy about calling it out as misleading. Rubin’s Direct Message segment has become another reminder that the media’s protective reflex for Democrats convinces them they can rewrite reality rather than face it.
Let’s be clear: voters punished the party for runaway inflation, open borders, and a failure to secure everyday prosperity — plain facts Democrats refuse to confront. Even Democratic leaders pushed back on the identity-only explanation, saying the economy was the prevailing reason voters turned away from the party. The sobering truth is that policy matters more than performative victimhood.
Now Harris is on a book tour trying to polish the record, but critics on her own side are slamming the effort as petty and tone-deaf, and protesters are greeting her events with hostility. The backlash shows you can’t paper over political failure with a chapter or a TV appearance; voters remember results, not excuses, and the left’s media echo chamber can’t change that.
Patriots know we deserve leaders who own mistakes, learn, and solve problems — not ones who point fingers and weaponize identity to dodge consequences. If the Democrats want to win back the trust of hardworking Americans, they should stop lecturing and start fixing the mess they created. The rest of the country is done with blame games and ready for leadership that delivers.
