“If you had to be stuck on an elevator with either President Trump, [Vice President] Mike Pence or [Attorney General] Jeff Sessions, who would it be?” TV host Ellen DeGeneres asked Harris in an April 2018 interview.


Harris deadpanned back, “Does one of us have to come out alive?” — before breaking into a cackle.

Oh, good grief...

I cleaned a couple of old barrels a couple of years ago. I had to scrape the gunk off the bottom before I re-sealed them. I know exactly what that sounds like. As do the people at the NYP (no way am I calling them reporters).

Well she did joke about killing him. I wonder what rhe left would be saying if Trump had said that about Harris.

I think they would have gone crazy over it. Yet Kamala says something like that and they all think it's hilarious.

I mean take a look how they reacted when Trump said he didn't know Harris was black for a long time. Rhe left went bananas over that simple comment. Can you imagine if he would have said what Harris said?

Notice how Ellen DeGenerate and her followers were feverishly applauding this sick suggestion.

I think that it's this type rhetoric that drives these psychopathic murders over the edge.

If I said something like that I would expect a FBI SWAT team to show up at my door; but somehow this is OK if a Democrat does it?

We have already heard what some left-wing has said about the hypothetical question Trump's lawyer was asked. I blame the media for people becoming unhinged.

Yup. It's a double standard and a shame.

I think clearly Harris was trying to be goofy there...

It'd basically be like claiming that someone doing the "sleep with, marry, kill" game/joke in the past was legitimately calling for violence

In regards to the types of rhetoric that lead to violence, I'd be more inclined to pin that on all the "existential threat", "threat to democracy" talk we've seen from pundits.

(not to mention the casual nature with which people toss around Hitler comparisons)

I agree completely. It was a joke. And I would be willing to bet that neither assasin had even heard this comment.

I think you are more correct with the other statements.

But can you imagine the outrage if Trump had joked like that? All the media would have gone crazy with accusing Trump of wanting to murder Harris. You know that's true.

I suspect that Trump's response to that joke would be, "I'd be the one coming out alive."
Sounds like a joke he would tell at his rallies and his supporters would hoot and holler just like they did when he suggested that the 2nd Amendment people might take care of H. Clinton if she became President.

Obviously, they're still taking the "fine people on both sides" statement he made out of context from years ago...

I won't deny that they love taking things out of context.

I just don't see any upside in the right trying to beat the left at that particular game.

A) they don't control a large enough section of the media to make it "land"

B) it undermines their prior defenses of instances where he's made jokes that people tried to pretend we're literal

My advice to the right would be to let the left continue to own "pretend to not be able to tell the difference between a joke and a threat" routine.

Thank you.

The "Orders Received" line quoted in the headline is not from Harris. It's a misquote of a tweet from "Club 4 Growth senior analyst Andrew Follett."

And if we're gonna be pedantic, she didn't specify Trump. She could have just as easily been supporting "Hang Mike Pence."

Oh, you mean like kidding around that there's a bomb in one's luggage at the airport?

Why doesn't everyone think that's funny?

Sign of a not serious OP.
That's being awfully kind; considering that this isn't the first time that we've seen this hysterical laughter from her, in completely inappropriate scenarios.

Your post is a thinly veiled insult to the Left, because while most of their elites pretend not to be able to tell the difference, they do so because they know the regular folks are actually not able.

Add to this the rhetoric and narratives being pushed by the Left like Biden who said they need to put a target on him, Goldman saying Trump needed to be eliminated and others calling him worse than Hitler and Mussolini and Hillary's remarks and the constant fixation on Trump to the point of derangement .

Add to this that the Left even acknowledged after the first attempt on Trump that the rhetoric needed to come down but knowingly continued the hype about Trump and what seems to be a casual attitude towards his safety and security by the current administration as well as the biased reporting and dangerous narratives by the Leftist media.

It all adds up and one begins to wonder if the Left just doesn't care and actually want Trump taken out. Sometimes its not what you say that fuels the fire and it seems just like how the Left did not clearly condemn anti semetism on their side and in institutions like universities which inflamed the situation.

The same with their attitude to the way they are inflaming things and not making it clear with Trump in condemning these acts. In fact they are excusing them as justified. Thats the crazy part that they don't realise they are doing. Or maybe they do and don't care because they are so desperate to stop Trump.

But its not just Trump the Leftist are attacking. They are attacking half the population who disagree and think Trump is what the US needs. You see the demeaning attitude the elite Leftist have towards Trump supporters calling them deplorables and stupid for voting Trump. The Left elites truely believe they are the saviours and superior to everyone and therefore can and need to do everything to save the US.

It seems its the Left who are the dangerous ones right now with their dangerous and divided rhetoric never mind some future situation that has not and will not happen by Trump. Theres a growing number of deranged Leftists actually calling and wanting Trump killed just like there is a growing number of Leftist radicals wanting to kill Jews.

The level of hate has gone up 10 notches and this is not good. The US is in a dangerous and unstable place right now and its no good for anyone as they should be the bastians of freedom and truth and making a better world.
