What he said.
It was one of Kamala Harris’s last jobs as VP: turn up in the Senate to swear in the new class of Senators. As Bonchie at RedState says, how hard can that be?:
I mean, “the flag” isn’t exactly one of the harder parts to remember. It’s pretty much the entire point given one is pledging allegiance to “the flag.”
Maybe having J D Vance there laughing and seeming to have fun unnerved her?
Naaaah!
That article gives a quick tour of her career, which I’ve covered in more detail since my first post about her just a few months after she became VP in 2021, The Unbearable Lightness of Kamala Harris. However, I’d ignored her small part in the massive brawl over Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court in 2018, having considered at the time that she’d looked pretty sharp in her interrogation of him, as befitting of someone who’d been in several big prosecutorial jobs (DA in San Francisco the AG of California). It was one of the reasons that at first I thought she’d be very good in running for the Democrat nomination in 2019.
Nope, turns out that was all fake as well:
The entire exchange turned out to be completely manufactured. There was nothing behind Harris’ leading questions. No conversation had taken place. She completely made it up as a way to try to bait Kavanaugh. In the end, she failed at doing anything meaningful, but the press went nuts over her “I’m a prosecutor” act.
Thus what I said about her in 2021 fits even better with the final paragraph of this latest RedState article:
Are you starting to see how Harris not knowing the Pledge of Allegiance is a small indicator of something bigger? She is the emptiest of empty suits, an inauthentic, lazy politician who was handed everything only to finally run into a brick wall when she had to face an entire nation of voters. Watching her stumble during her last days in office is not just poetic. It’s a microcosm of her career.
America dodged a huge bullet in this last Presidential election, and within days I’ll likely never have to use her tag again here on No Minister.
No Minister 
The kindest description of her is a political stooge and hack who has benefited bigly from the “vote blue no matter who” ethos of many Dem voters.
But to no one’s surprise, she was so bad at her job that even rusted-on Dem voters didn’t vote for her.
it doesn’t matter if you dodged that bullet if you’d already been socked between the eyes by the previous one.
She is, without doubt, the worst political candidate for any office I have ever seen. Unfortunately, I don’t think she is smart enough to avoid embarrassing herself further, and I expect we will see her on the ballot again in some capacity.
