Carol Platt Liebau: Getting Serious About Kamala
Description
Americans are being bombarded by favorable press about Kamala Harris and her circle. We know she’s called “Momala” by her stepchildren, and the moniker has been adopted by simpering celebrities like Drew Barrymore. As if that’s not enough, Politico has run a puff piece calling her husband, Doug Emhoff, “America’s Dad in Chief.” Not to be outdone, The Washington Post insists the internet has cast Tim Walz as “America’s Midwestern Dad.”
But Americans already have parents. We’re not looking for them in The White House. In fact: we don’t want to be treated like children by the people we elect … who are supposed to be working for us.
When we go to the polls, we’re not electing best friends or surrogate family members.
We’re hiring people to run the government capably—with respect for the Constitution and a strong grasp of good public policy.
No more, no less.
