Opinion: Harris-Rogan interview saga reveals only Democrats’ incompetence, entitlement
 
The Kamala Harris dead-enders found a renewed sense of vigor last week, responding furiously to a report that they believe proves podcast host Joe Rogan intentionally sabotaged the former vice president’s campaign.

The way the Harris faithful tell it, the pot-smoking Bernie Bro craftily undermined and then blew up Harris’s chances in 2024 by teasing her team with false promises of an exclusive interview.
 
The problem is that the reporting on which this narrative is based tells no such tale. On the contrary, it tells a story of gross incompetence on the part of the Harris campaign, confirming once again that she was a lousy candidate, surrounded by lousy advisors, dealt an even lousier hand by a failed president.

The reporting comes from the Hill’s Amie Parnes and NBC News’s Jonathan Allen’s forthcoming book, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House.” An excerpt published on Jan. 29 by NBC News details the wrangling in the campaign’s final weeks between Harris’s and Rogan’s representatives, ultimately going nowhere. It recounts the communication between Harris’s deputy campaign manager, Rob Flaherty, and Rogan’s team.

The real story is that the Democratic Party suffers such crippling ineptitude and pervasive entitlement that it has placed both its short-term and long-term electoral prospects in serious jeopardy.

The spoiled and aggrieved attitudes that Parnes’s and Allen’s reporting lay bare, the belief by Harris aides that Rogan should have leapt at the chance to speak with her, that it was wrong (perhaps even immoral) for him to insist on an in-person interview, are astounding. It’s likewise astounding that they went to the trouble of staging a for-show rally in Texas on Oct. 25, yet they did not accept Rogan’s offer for an early morning interview the following morning.

These people seem to believe that Rogan owed them an interview, and that they’re too good to negotiate scheduling conflicts.

This is it in a nutshell.  Had this been CNN, ABC, NBC, etc., those networks would have dropped everything to accommodate the Harris campaign.  But people like Rogan aren't playing by those rules.

Bald faced lies...  Rogan officially announced he would give her the same 3 hour access that he gave Trump.   As long as she came to his studio.

This report is a strange way to spin that she was scared and knew 3 hours with Rogan would expose her lack of substance.

Again, every thinking human remaining in America knew Harris was grossly deficient in intelligence.  Talk about exceeding the Peter Principle!

The stories of her having a 78 IQ, I believe they are true.  The bimbo could not utter two sentences intelligently.  At least Biden had an excuse, he was senile.  What was hers other than lack of any intelligence?

As you say, she was incapable of doing Rogan for any length of time without a preplanned script. Like Biden in his last debate, the illusion would have been completely over had she gone on his show.
