trying to get Harris to say something critical about Joe Biden? This is being pushed on everything from the View to Meet the Press. I don't remember the media trying to get Clinton or Biden to criticize Obama in 16 and 20, or even Al Gore to criticize Clinton in 00.
First, they were complaining she wasn't doing enough interviews. Now she's doing interviews so hacks like Peter Alexander and Bill Maher are attacking her for not attacking Joe Biden.
Are they so desperate for something to say negative about Harris that this manufactured controversy is the best they can come up with?

(54,039 posts)This is their effort to tar Harris with the same brush. They obviously can't say she's too old, so they are saying she should have done something something sooner about Biden's age.
Behind the scenes, she surely was involved in some way in the ugly effort to push Biden out, (I think the entire democratic caucus was involved, or at least well aware) but it wouldn't be wise for her to make that story public.
They also have to neutralize the "Donnie is too old" problem, so this is also an effort to say Harris has an age issue, even if it's only indirectly.
It's all weak sauce, but it's all they got.
