Greg Kelly took aim at the latest revelations in Kamala Harris’s new memoir and zeroed in on the eyebrow-raising Situation Room anecdote that shows the Democrats operating in a fog of secrecy and stagecraft. On his show he tore into the idea that this was a “private” moment worth memorializing in a campaign book, insisting the public deserves answers when the people who led the country seem to be playing out talking points behind closed doors.
Harris’s own account, printed in 107 Days, says that while sitting in the Situation Room after a briefing she heard President Biden ask whether she would be willing to take his place if he had to drop out — a line she wrote was “clearly rehearsed.” That admission — that such a consequential subject was handled as a rehearsed sound bite rather than a candid leadership discussion — should alarm any American who prizes transparency and sober judgment.
Conservative commentators smell revisionist history and opportunism, and rightly so; the memoir reads like an attempt to rewrite the record while dodging responsibility for the failures Democrats now want to blame on everyone else. Newsmax and other center-right outlets have already blasted the book as self-serving, pointing out that this kind of inside-baseball drama does little to explain the policy missteps that hurt everyday Americans.
Harris even calls Biden’s decision to leave the 2024 race “recklessness,” while simultaneously insisting on his competence — a contradiction that exposes the unseriousness of the party’s internal messaging. It’s one thing to offer memoir introspection; it’s another to throw a former boss under the bus while claiming loyalty, especially when the country was left scrambling in the aftermath.
Greg Kelly’s point — and it’s a valid one from the right — is that voters are tired of carefully crafted narratives that prioritize optics over governing. That’s why conservative outlets are asking blunt questions about who was really in charge, how decisions were presented to the public, and why the Democratic leadership’s private conversations mattered more than the national interest.
For the record, Harris’s book 107 Days was published on September 23, 2025, and it will be pored over not just by pundits but by voters who want plain answers from those who sought to lead. If Democrats want to reestablish credibility, they’ll have to stop spinning gossip from the Situation Room as serious political memoir and start explaining to Americans why their choices left the country worse off.
