Clay Travis: Kamala Harris' Take On Jan. 6 Just Straight Up Dumb

Kamala Harris is back at it, creating hyperbole where there need not be any, says OutKick founder Clay Travis.

Harris, whose approval ratings are in the absolute dumps, compared the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to Pearl Harbor and 9/11.

"Honest question, does anyone actually believe this, even the most idiotic left winger on the planet?" Clay tweeted. "This is one of the dumbest historical analogies I have ever seen."

Thursday marked the one-year anniversary of the riot, prompting Harris and Biden to give their thoughts of dread and despair. Biden, of course, blamed former President Donald Trump.

“For the first time in our history, the president had not just lost an election, he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol,” Biden said in remarks delivered from inside National Statuary Hall in the Capitol. "The insurrection left multiple people dead, scores of police officers injured and a democracy shaken to its core."

Biden is wisely doing whatever he can to veer attention away from COVID-19, after promising to eradicate the virus during his campaign. Reported cases have instead been on the rise.

“But Joe Biden told me he had a plan for COVID,” OutKick founder Clay Travis tweeted in response to a report that the federal government is powerless to stop the virus. “He was going to follow the science. And mask up. And vaccine it away. And now here we are where the Biden strategy is to, checks headline: ‘hold on and hope the worst is over soon.'”

As for Jan. 6, Harris can't really be serious about putting it in the same tragic category as Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Or maybe she is serious. And maybe that's why no one is taking her seriously.
