JIM GERAGHTY: Biden-Harris a Profile in Cowardice on Campus Disorder.
On the menu today: More than a day late and a dollar short, President Biden says that breaking the law on college campuses is wrong. But he’s still ahead of his vice president, the former prosecutor, who for weeks has had absolutely nothing to say about the lawlessness that took over college campuses. If the objective for the protesters was to make some noise and postpone finals, maybe they accomplished what they set out to do. But if their objective was to influence or change U.S. public opinion, they failed miserably. Read on.

Still, at least Biden eventually was roused to address the issue. As far as I can tell, Vice President Kamala Harris has not made any public remarks about the campus protests. The New York Times noted, “Vice President Kamala Harris, campaigning on Monday in Wisconsin, again took sharp swipes at former President Donald J. Trump for his actions on abortion, a hot topic across the country. But she stayed silent on the war in Gaza, another issue erupting elsewhere among the critical bloc of young voters she has been courting.” While speaking in Atlanta, “Harris did not address recent protests on Georgia college campuses tied to the White House’s handling of the conflict in Gaza.”
The vice president is a former prosecutor. She doesn’t have any thoughts on lawbreaking and whether the police should be called in on campus? For much of the reelection campaign, she’s been on a college tour!
Harris expressed her thoughts in 2020: Kamala Harris Lies, Claiming That She Never Promoted the Bail Fund That Bailed Out BLM Rioters As Well As Murderers and R4pists; But the Tweet In Which She Promoted that Bail Fund Is Still Up!
