The political theatrics from the left have entered a new act, featuring none other than Vice President Kamala Harris, whose chances for re-election appear to be dimming faster than a candle in a windstorm. With the fear of defeat looming, the left has once again dusted off an old playbook that conveniently blames the Russians for any potential loss. Because, of course, taking personal responsibility is so last season, and what better scapegoat than a foreign adversary?
The latest twist in this melodrama suggests that Russia is allegedly rooting for Kamala’s downfall, primarily due to the Biden administration’s unwavering support for Ukraine. Leftists claim this foreign influence is not just about electoral manipulation; it’s about stirring division in American society. CBS News’s Margaret Brennan jumped on this bandwagon, asserting that Russia’s antics are like a bad penny—always turning up to undermine American confidence and electability. Apparently, what the country needs is a little less introspection and a lot more blame-shifting.
Russia wants Vice President Kamala Harris to lose, largely because of the Biden administration's policy in support of Ukraine, but also to instill and exploit division in the United States, @margbrennan reports.

MSNBC analyst David Corn, a name dusted off from the original Russia collusion saga, has joined the chorus, claiming that Kamala is simultaneously up against not only Donald Trump but also a rogue nation attempting to undermine democracy. This melodrama seems more suited for a Hollywood script than a news analysis, but here we are—watching the left frantically piece together a narrative that envelops them in a comforting (if desperate) cloak of victimhood.
In the dramatic landscape painted by the left, Russia stands accused of committing acts of war against the very fabric of American democracy, all while supposedly plotting in the shadows to aid Trump. This is akin to a child blaming the dog for lost homework, while also suggesting the dog is a secret agent. Extreme leftist commentators are itching to generate outrage over phantom threats, kicking the Russia discourse not just down the road, but into another state altogether.
And let’s not forget Hillary Clinton’s prophetic musings from last year, where she dutifully warned of the Kremlin’s looming shadow over the 2024 elections. If anyone should know about blaming others for their failures, it’s Hillary—the queen of “it wasn’t me, it was the Russians!” The Durham Report put a wrench in the left’s narrative machinery, effectively discrediting the very collusion fantasy that they cling to like a lifeline.
As it stands, the stage is set for yet another four years of leftist angst over Russian interference, complete with all the drama and spectacle one could ask for. In this political theater, the Russians are the ultimate boogeyman, ready to haunt the nightmares of those too busy pointing fingers to look in the mirror. The irony, of course, is that in this blame game, it’s the left’s own actions that keep them tied to the past while the rest of the country moves forward.
