With the election over, Americans are seeing firsthand how broken Kamala Harris’ campaign was on the trail.
Some extremely ugly truths are now finding themselves in the public eye.
And Kamala Harris just got caught red-handed after Megyn Kelly just exposed this one massive payoff scandal.
Kamala Harris’ unfolding payola scandal
On the campaign trail, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign shelled out $20 million to pay famed superstars like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Bon Jovi to endorse her for President and perform at her events.
Oprah Winfrey’s production company managed to pick up a $1 million bag from the Harris campaign to show up at a Philadelphia rally, where she ranted about how this would be the last election ever in America should Donald Trump win.
This type of celebrity payola is not new to politics, however.
But there was one instance within this scandal that leaped beyond the line of what is ethical that was casually posted in Kamala Harris’ last campaign finance report – a $500,000 payment to National Action Network.
What makes this payment so unethical is the fact that the National Action Network is run by Al Sharpton, a host at MSNBC who provided an extremely softball interview with Kamala Harris.
Megyn Kelly explained on her podcast the timeline of these events, noting how just weeks after the payment from the Harris campaign was processed, Kamala would be hosted by Al Sharpton for a shockingly friendly interview.
“Al Sharpton, who not only runs the National Action Network, that’s his nonprofit organization which is very sketchy to begin with, he hosts a show on MSNBC,” started Kelly.
“And it just came out today via the Free Beacon… that her campaign “donated” $500,000 to his nonprofit weeks before Harris went to sit with him for an interview on MSNBC,” she continued.
The scandal over the Harris campaign’s decision to give to Al Sharpton’s organization right before an interview has raised serious ethics questions.
The scandal surrounds Kamala Harris engaging in pay-to-play to ensure Sharpton was careful not to push Kamala too hard.
Kelly believed the scandal to be so incredibly corrupt and unethical, she predicted that MSNBC would have no choice but to respond.
“I’m dying. I’m dying from the conflict of interest. I’m dead. It happened,” slammed Kelly. “This is like the bias is coming out of the ears.”
“This is so irresponsible, unethical, and not allowed. It’s so egregious, MSNBC is going to have to respond,” she predicted.
There is longstanding precedent for MSNBC to investigate and even deliver punishment for the violation of ethics standards.
In 2010, MSNBC had punished Joe Scarborough with a suspension after it was discovered that he had donated to Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) when he was still serving in the Florida state legislature.
But what makes the scandal all the more sketchier was the fact that Sharpton refused to report this payment on a nonprofit disclosure form, which is even more damning of an ethics violation.
“You cannot make a donation to an anchor’s charity on the side of $500,000 as a presidential candidate, then go sit with the anchor. And he didn’t disclose it,” Kelly continued.
“This is not a news organization, but they continue to masquerade as one,” she concluded.
All of the details about Kamala Harris and her lack of authenticity are spilling out in the final weeks of the year.
Kamala’s handlers famously refused to let her participate in an interview with Joe Rogan, who promised to avoid any “gotcha questions” in the name of learning who the real Kamala Harris was, all because they feared that her inability to speak without a script would be exposed.
Instead, her campaign resorted to paying for concerts, celebrity interactions, and softball interviews because her handlers knew one thing to be true – the only way Kamala Harris could win is if they could create an artificial image of Harris.
They hoped she would fake it until she could make it.
