Harris Faulkner recently took a political swing at former Democratic Representative Patrick Murphy for his apparent failure to tackle the issue of Vice President Kamala Harris comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. During an episode of “The Faulkner Focus,” Faulkner was not shy about calling out the former congressman for sidestepping the gravitas of the comparison. As it turns out, rather than address the weighty accusation, Murphy chose to go off on a tangent about a joke made at Trump’s rally concerning Puerto Rico. One has to wonder if Murphy was confusing the political arena with a stand-up comedy stage.
The Vice President, who seems to have a penchant for hyperbole, recently labeled Trump a “fascist” and had her running mate, Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz, likening a Trump rally to a rally held by the German-American Bund in 1939. While their theatrics might play well in some circles, they are also a clear sign of desperation. Faulkner urged Murphy to engage with the more serious allegations instead of diverting the conversation to a less impactful topic. It was almost as if Murphy was trying to avoid the political minefield by changing the subject, proving once again that some Democrats would rather laugh than face uncomfortable truths.
Murphy attempted to pivot the conversation to a defensive stance, arguing that disparaging remarks about fellow Americans – in this case, Puerto Ricans – are simply out of bounds. His dedication to “levelling the playing field” for American citizens is commendable, but it begs the question: how does this connect to Harris’s incendiary remarks? It’s as though Murphy thinks political correctness is the best bulwark against what genuine political debate should involve. A little focus might help him realize that there’s a bigger elephant in the room—namely, that comparisons to Hitler should prompt some soul-searching, not a discussion about Medal of Honor recipients.

Faulkner pressed further, noting that a reporter seemed to think it was just peachy to give Harris a free pass to discuss the inflammatory comments. It raised eyebrows on whether the media circus is more interested in softballs than the real, hard-hitting questions that deserve attention. Perhaps it’s a reflection of the double standard that pervades mainstream media, where sensationalism often outweighs facts—definitely a topic worth a debate of its own.
In the meantime, Trump continues to face threats head-on, having survived previous assassination attempts in a manner reminiscent of a modern-day action movie hero. When the Secret Service foiled a plot against him one September afternoon, it highlighted the increasingly dangerous climate surrounding political figures these days. And while left-wing activists may be watching his every move with bated breath, Trump remains unfazed, rigging the odds back in his favor.
Adding insult to injury, Trump leads Harris by a slender margin in recent polling, which only adds another scoop of salt to the wounds of the Democratic Party. If they think that dragging historical figures into modern political rhetoric will sway the public, they might want to consider that voters are more informed than ever. The attempts at smearing Trump may end up doing more harm than good for the Democrats, and they’ll find out soon enough that politics is no laughing matter, despite Murphy’s best efforts to make it so.
