Now that Vice President Kamala Harris has been anointed as the heir apparent to her dementia-addled boss, it was only a matter of time until the ridiculous conspiracy theories began to spawn.
The panic that was set off after tens of millions of Americans got their first real look at President Joe Biden during last week’s CNN debate, and not the version they were fraudulently sold by the media, has led to calls for other more qualified options to be eliminated in favor of the veep, who goes to the front of the line for obvious reasons.
Since Harris is a black woman, she’s a prime target to be taken out by an assassin as a part of a bat-guano-crazy conspiracy plot to overturn the results of the election – presuming she wins – and put a Republican in the White House.
The insane suggestion that bubbled up from the social media fever swamp comes courtesy of Georgetown Law Professor Josh Chafetz who shared his wild vision in a thread on X, formerly Twitter.
2/ If Harris becomes President, the Vice Presidency is empty. Under the 25th Amendment, confirming a new VP requires majority votes in the House and the Senate.

3/ If there is no VP, then Mike Johnson is next in line to the presidency. I think there’s a very good argument that the House would not confirm anyone Harris nominated as VP.

4/ We are in a moment of high and rising political violence. ~ 9% of all US presidents have been assassinated, and ~ 13% have been either killed or wounded in an assassination attempt.

5/ Add in the fact that Harris would be the first woman president and only second president of color and it gets scarier. Add in that her replacement would be from the other party and it starts to look like an invitation to assassination attempts.

The prof’s fellow X users reacted to his whacko theory with appropriate ridicule.
The last Presidential assassination attempt was 42 years ago. It’s been more than a moment, Lambchop.

But given that presidential assassinators are exclusively leftists, socialists, communists, anarchists, and democrats, Vice President Word Salad appears to be safe.

Now, you are just sounding like you are writing a liberal fanfic novel about Harris.
— JJ Swearingen (@SwearinEveryday) July 4, 2024
All the assassinations and assassination attempts have been carried out by liberals or communists. So it’s your side that you need to watch.

Dude, stop wasting your time and ours with this nonsense.

This guy needs serious psychological intervention.

If Harris does end up getting the ultimate DEI promotion, expect the left-wing loons to come crawling out of the woodwork with their conspiracy theories with even more intensity than they did with the Russiagate hoax.
