As expected, the left-wing media/Democrat talking points about presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris have been dispersed. Among them are of course that any criticisms of Harris boil down to sexism/racism and that she is supposedly far more qualified than her critics give her credit for.
Another one, perhaps the most bizarre of them all, is that Republicans are somehow scared of Harris because of her allegedly stellar record as a district attorney general in San Francisco, as California's attorney general, and as a United States senator.
These people "are smoking truckloads of crack if they think Republicans are afraid of Kamala Harris," my colleague Jeff Charles correctly pointed out in response to all the chatter.

And just to show how "afraid" of Harris Republicans are, Pennsylvania Republican Senate nominee Dave McCormick - who witnessed the assassination attempt on Donald Trump while sitting in the front row at the Butler campaign rally - has released a powerful new, 90-second ad tying his Democratic opponent, Sen. Bob Casey Jr., to Harris.
It drops receipts galore on Harris' far-left record on issues like crime, illegal immigration, energy policy, and even meat consumption, making an effective case that if people were troubled by Joe Biden's positions on the issues, they're going to be even more disturbed by hers.

It's generated quite a bit of buzz on the Twitter/X machine among conservatives and media figures who pointed out that it was a prime example of what we'd be seeing from GOP candidates in other down-ballot races going into the fall campaign season:

This ad from Dave McCormack, running for Senate in Pennsylvania, highlights all the liberal positions Kamala Harris embraced in 2020. What Democrats in down ballot races are going to see.

The narrative on Twitter is that Republicans “weren’t ready” for her. This isn’t true (I know for a fact), but let’s suppose it is. Look how easy it was to make an ad this devastating. https://t.co/osuUnuA9JM

I forgot just how crazy some of these positions were.

-Restricting red meat consumption?
-Letting the Boston bomber vote?
-Abolishing ICE to “start over?”
-Ending the filibuster to pass the Green New Deal?
Even AOC and the squad had to be like “hey take it easy lady.” https://t.co/7223CBMmAo
Heh. Maybe the next ad released should carry a message that goes something like "Keep talking, Kamala Harris, just keep talking." Because, as we've documented before, Kamala Harris is and always will be her own worst enemy. And while Republicans shouldn't be overconfident against her, her abysmal record going back to her attorney days in the Golden State will indeed do a lot of the heavy lifting in the weeks and months ahead.
As always, stay tuned.
