ABC White House correspondent MaryAlice Parks joined Saturday’s installment of Good Morning America to gush over the supposed contrast between “joyful” and “happy” Vice President Kamala Harris and the “mean and nasty” Donald Trump. If that wasn’t bad enough, Parks also predicted that most people will not care about Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, embellishing his military resume, and instead just care that he served at all.
Parks appeared to concede that Trump leveled a fair criticism against Harris that she hasn’t done any recent press conferences, but ultimately she tried to spin that, “She's going to have to define her campaign more, she’s going to have to flush out some of her policy positions, but that strategy you're talking about, that joyful warrior presence, that excitement, leaning into the laughing, it has been effective out there on the campaign trail.”
She also claimed it is “amazing how quickly she's, kind of, branded herself like that. Blunting criticism that she laughs too much. She looks and sounds different than President Biden. I think that it's reminding Democrats they don't have to feel that sense of doom that, frankly, a lot of them felt about the Biden campaign, but it's also letting her draw a contrast to Trump without talking so much about Trump because I think every time she sounds joyful or happy, you're sort of reminded that he can sound mean and nasty.”
