Carol Platt Liebau: Hiding From the Press
Description
Last week, Kamala Harris met the press for the first time since being anointed her party’s nominee—if you can call a gentle, eighteen minute, heavily edited interview with her running mate actually “meeting the press.”
It’s clear why Harris is so reluctant to take questions from the media. She isn’t good at thinking on her feet and has a tenuous grasp of policy. She’s deeply insecure and lacks self-confidence.
But when Harris won’t talk to the press, she’s not just disrespecting them. She’s disrespecting us. Kamala Harris owes Americans a straightforward explanation of her views—and why she’s changed them. We’re entitled to know where she wants to take our country and why.
The press is on Harris’ side. She may figure she can get away with hiding. But if she keeps doing it, Americans are right to conclude it’s because she’s got something to hide.
