With her campaign stumbles continuing, Kamala Harris has been desperately attempting to shore up traditionally Democrat-friendly voting demographics. On Thursday, that took the shape of her attending a town hall on Univision that supposedly placed her in front of “undecided Latino voters.” The truth of the matter is just a bit different, though.

As far as the event goes, it was typical in that Harris is one of the most inauthentic, overprocessed politicians ever to walk the face of the earth. Fake Spanish accent? She copped it. Word salad? She delivered it. Finger-wagging at a guy who was just hit by a hurricane? She delivered that as well.

SEE: Kamala’s Univision Town Hall Was a Complete Disaster

But what if I told you that despite Harris finding a way to screw things up, the entire spectacle was rigged from the start? According to a new report, instead of the audience being filled with “undecided Latino voters,” the seats were actually filled by Harris supporters located by a company that specializes in casting calls.

But viewers at home would have been wholly unaware that this billing was false. As I discovered, having been granted the sacred opportunity to view the event from an adjacent room on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, the carefully curated “town hall” audience was actually comprised of avowed Harris supporters.

“I already knew I was going to go for Kamala,” one town hall participant told me. “Part of the reason why I wanted to go was just, like, to also fully support her.”

“So you were already decided, before you came?” I asked another. “Yes,” she replied, declaring her support for Kamala.

The audience members I spoke to were selected with the help of a company called FansOnQ, according to the company’s founder, Conny Quintanilla, whose title for yesterday’s event was “Audience Manager.” The company puts out “casting calls” for events like the Latin Grammy Awards, which have been previously held in Las Vegas.

As to those who asked the questions throughout the night? They were flown in at Univision’s expense, with their questions being pre-vetted and approved. Does that sound like a “town hall” to you? Keep in mind that this took place in Nevada. I’m pretty sure Univision could have found a slew of real undecided Latino voters in a place like Las Vegas. 

Instead, the “town hall” was completely astroturfed, filled with seal-clapping Harris supporters and questions Harris undoubtedly knew beforehand, given they were vetted. 

That is the story of Harris’ campaign, and it’s why she is no better than a coin flip to win the presidency despite having every single built-in advantage a nominee could hope for. All of it is fake. She received zero votes in the primary and was installed by a cabal of top Democratic Party leaders. Since then, she has ridden a wave of inorganic, press-manufactured “joy” that supposedly differentiates her from Donald Trump.

It’s all crashing down now, though. The polls have tightened to the point where Harris is no longer the favorite in most of the key swing states, and even the national polling shows a toss-up, which is a stark change from the blow-out margins predicted in 2016 and 2020.

Harris needs a boost, and I’m failing to see where that’s going to come from. My natural cynicism won’t let me go any further than that in presuming what will happen in November, but I honestly believe I’d rather be Donald Trump right now, given the data we have. Americans are seeing through Harris’ facade, and it’s not pretty. The press can keep trying to prop her up, but the vice president is simply incapable of playing her part.
