Fakala? Have Republicans Finally Come Up With A Brand For Kamala?Legal Insurrection by William A. Jacobson 8/11/2024
JD Vance: “She’s fundamentally a fake person who changes her tune depending on what audience she’s in front of.”So I’m minding my own business, scrolling through my X feed, and I see some video clips of JD Vance swatting away cheap shots from Jon Karl (ABC) and Dana Bash (CNN). He also was on CBS Face the Nation, but I haven’t seen any clips of that.
He did really well, but that’s not what’s most interesting to me. It’s the conduct of the interviewers, constantly interrupting and talking over Vance and arguing with him.

: We have a wide-open border because our border czar set open border policies.
FAKE NEWS @JonKarl
: *repeats lie that Kamala isn't border czar*
VANCE: That's what the media called her. She assumed the title. She had control over a lot of our border policy at a time when they were suspending deportations, ended Remain in Mexico, and re-instituted Catch-and-Release. They threw open the gates to our country.

She’s fundamentally a fake person who changes her tune depending on what audience she’s in front of.
https://twitter.com/JDVance/status/1822628556544835961To brand someone effectively, there has to be some truth in what you say. That’s why “Low Energy Jeb” was so effective – people heard it and laughed and thought, yeah, he is low energy. You have to exploit what people already are inclined to believe.
So is being a fake Kamala’s brand? Certainly there is plenty to paint that picture, such as her varying accents depending on the crowd, her empty suit intellect, and changing almost every major policy position she had just a month ago. There’s a truth there to her fakery, and it easily could be turned into her brand.
Then I read this tweet from political consultant Alex Castellano. It’s long so you have to click on the tweet to read the full text, but he’s arguing that Trump needs to find one theme against Kamala and stick to it, and Kamala being a faker is it. Here’s the key part:
Then, in an unfortunate prisoner exchange, Joe Biden lost his job — and the Trump campaign lost its focus. Though the election has changed, and Trump’s old adversary has left the building, Trump is still running against Joe Biden. He is not running against the new candidate in front of him.
