ABC Exposes Kamala Harris’s J6 Achilles Heel

LIAR: Kamala never revealed that she was not at the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot. But numerous defendants were sentenced to jail on grounds that she was.

ASHLI: The Untold Story of the Women of January 6, By Jack Cashill

The headline of an August 1 ABC News story by Mike Levine provides the message editors hope the readers would take away: “New DHS watchdog report details how close Kamala Harris came to ‘viable’ pipe bomb on Jan. 6.”

Levine and his editors flirt here with exposing Harris’s Achilles heel — her whereabouts during the afternoon of January 6. Having satisfied themselves long ago with their own propaganda, they likely do not know the peril to which they have exposed Harris. This seemingly helpful “news” story has more potential of blowing up in her face than the alleged pipe bomb ever did.

Apparently, ABC News obtained a copy of a new report from the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general’s office. The report purports to provide “an official and detailed account of how Kamala Harris, then the incoming vice president, ended up within feet of a ‘viable’ pipe bomb that had been planted in the bushes right outside the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters.”

The report, which was shared with members of Congress on Thursday, describes how two Secret Service teams assigned to sweep the DNC where Harris was visiting on the afternoon of January 6 somehow missed a pipe bomb allegedly planted outside the building the night before. As a result, Harris’s armored vehicle came within 20 feet of the bomb.

The real question is not why thousands of women went to Washington on January 6. The real question is why the rest of us did not.

Unlike the women who descended on Washington in 2017 to protest the inauguration of President Trump, the women of January 6 did not come as women. They came as Americans, as patriots, as defenders of the republic. They did not wear pink hats. They wore MAGA hats. Their issues were indistinguishable from those of the men in their lives—the rule of law, free and fair elections, and the preservation of constitutional rights. They brought no laundry list of special needs like, say, “reproductive rights,” because they understood that no one was challenging their right to reproduce. In fact, many had reproduced abundantly.

There was not a single celebrity in their midst—no Ashley Judds, no Gloria Steinems, no Madonnas threatening to “blow up the White House.” These were Hillary’s “deplorables” in the flesh, a whole heaping basket of them, “irredeemable” to the last woman. On January 6, the very presence of these intrepid women at the Capitol so offended the natural order of things that many would be gassed and beaten. Two would never return home.

If resistance to government oppression has a face, it is that of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, a determined patriot and an enduring martyr. This is her story, and that of the other gallant women of January 6.

Panelist: John Tobacco, Host Wise Guys on NEWSMAX

Segment Topics:

Violent illegal crime accelerates in Coney Island (mentioned by Trump at his NC rally) and Randall’s Island.  Central Park is every bit as dangerous as it was back in the 1970’s.  Have New Yorkers seen enough?

Pro-Palestinian terrorist invade Kamala campaign event in Harlem:

According to WPIX TV, Pro-Hamas protesters stormed the campaign event for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

The event, billed as the “New York City Kickoff to Elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” attracted approximately 200 supporters to a venue on West 135th Street, organized by the Harlem to the Heights Campaign Committee.

Attendees included union members, local voters, and Democrat. Party delegates. Top Democrat leaders like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Mayor Eric Adams, and Congressman Adriano Espaillat were also present at the event.

Is this a wakeup call for Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul?

John Tobacco, Host “Wise Guys” on Newsmax

Sample Questions:

John, do New Yorkers remember just ten-years ago, City streets and neighborhoods were safe and if so, do they understand who the party they support has de-stabilized NYC deliberately?

It was scary to see NYPD officers squeezed in between these Pro-Palestinian terrorists in Harlem.  Setting off smoke bombs inside restaurants where the Governor and Mayor are in attendance appears to be a major security breach.  Do you agree?

What can we look forward to on Wise Guys, tomorrow night at 10PM ET?
