The latest example of saying the quiet part out loud had Democrat strategist David Axelrod addressing the “interesting” impact of the hurricane and who would “figure out a way to vote.”

“This is why Kamala and Biden aren’t helping…”

Beyond the optics on the campaign trail where former President Donald Trump’s leadership has flourished in contrast to Vice President Kamala Harris’ photo-op stops amid tawdry interviews aimed at low information voters, the incumbent’s lacking left real lives in jeopardy.

However, as the administration led by lame duck President Joe Biden continued to signal priorities abroad that included offering $157 million to Lebanon as impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asserted FEMA lacked the resources to make it through hurricane season, Axelrod said what many were thinking about how Hurricane Helene’s destruction could benefit Harris at the ballot box.

On his “Hacks on Tap” podcast, the once senior adviser to then-President Barack Obama contrasted the areas ravaged by the storm and said, “Those voters in Asheville are — they’re, you know, the kind of voters that will figure out a way to vote. You know, they’re upscale, kind of liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote.”

“I’m not sure a bunch of these folks who’ve had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere in western North Carolina — in the mountains there — are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign,” he went on. “I don’t know how that’s all going to play out, but it’s an unpredictable element in North Carolina that has made it, maybe a little more interesting.”

Outkick founder Clay Travis shared Axelrod’s remarks on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” and suggested, “This is why Kamala and Biden aren’t helping, they benefit from the disaster.”

They were hardly alone in calling out the political insider’s analysis as precisely the sort of underhanded betrayal Americans had come to associate with the Biden-Harris Alinskyite administration that maintained the ends justified the means.

Journalist Miranda Devine had commented, “In between laughing at the false claim that JD Vance was wearing eyeliner at the VP debate, Obama-Harris whisperer David Axelrod said ons his podcast that Hurricane Helene’s victims are mainly Trump voters who will find it hard to vote.”

Reacting to her remark, The Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway stated, “I fear that Axelrod’s point is why Harris and Biden are letting these people drown.”

Meanwhile, surrogates to the Harris for President campaign had demonstrated Nov. 5 to be a greater priority than the present as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who’d been the runner-up to Minnesota Gov. Walz in landing a role as the vice president’s running mate, had shown up to stump for her and North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein in his bid for governor of the Tar Heel State.

As had been pointed out, the battleground state had been won by Trump in 2020 by less than 75,000 votes and much of the area devastated by Hurricane Helene encompassed counties that swung heavily for the GOP leader.

Still, amid suggestions attributing malice where incompetence was as likely, BlazeTV’s Jill Savage, host of “Blaze News Tonight,” had  joined “The Steve Deace Show” with a message of hope after traveling with Glenn Beck’s Mercury One to bring relief to hurricane victims.

“I can tell you a story that I heard yesterday,” she said during Friday’s program. “There was a man who was rescued off the mountain. As soon as he got down there and was back with people that could do anything, he goes, ‘How do I vote right now? I need to do this right now. How do I do this?’ I will tell you, the people there are very aware of what’s going on in terms of the election, in terms of what may or may not be done to them.”

“I think it’s going to be difficult,” said Savage, “but I will tell you, these people are determined to vote.”
