The Russian pranksters who fooled socialist Senator Bernie Sanders and Democrat Representative Maxine Waters have struck again, this time reaching the top of the leftist firmament.
Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov and their woman sidekick tricked reputed intellectual giant Senator Kamala Harris (shown), Sleepy Joe Biden’s choice for vice president, into thinking that she too was talking to young climate activist Greta Thunberg.
The veep candidate never caught on before the men known as Vovan and Lexus ended the call, and like Sanders, she invited foreign interference in the coming presidential election, and promised to involve the teenager in crafting U.S policy. (See video below.)
The “Greta”-Harris Exchange
After “Greta” and Harris exchanged the usual pleasantries, with “Greta” addressing Harris by her first name, the veep hopeful shoveled on the praise.
“Congratulations on all of your leadership,” Harris began. “I’m so inspired by your courage and your voice.”
“It would be cool to support you in your campaign,” “Greta” replied. “What is the best way to do it?” (Article continues below video.)
Harris had a good plan:
The best way to do it would be to talk about my climate plan. You know what I can do is, I can ask my policy team to follow up with you with more detail on what exactly would be helpful and what is something that you would like to do. And then we can talk about more detail about how that can work. And that would be very helpful, and I thank you for that.
The girl’s “father” then chimed and mentioned Russian president Vladimir Putin.
“There are forces working against our movement,” Harris said. “And, we have to fight for these things. So this is that moment. And you have been a great warrior in this cause.”
Then “Greta” told Harris the same silly story she told Waters. She said President Trump terrifies her and that she can’t eat or sleep when she sees him on television, and even suffers nightmares about him.
“I saw him in the corridor,” at the United Nations, “Greta” recalled. She said she urged him to sign the Paris climate accord. “He came over. He said softly to me. ‘You will never achieve the goal.’”
That provided Harris the chance to bash Trump as an enemy of “progress.”
“Greta, do not be deterred,” Harris said. “Do not be deterred. You have the ability to see what is possible in a way that many do not.”
Men like Trump — on the wrong side of history, as the Left likes to say — will be swept away, Harris vowed:
And there will be people who are going to work against progress. That is always the case. Always in history there have been people who work against progress. Nothing that has been achieved in this world that has been about progress came without a fight. This is the nature of it.
Trump was “very sick to behave like that,” “Greta” opined.
“Yes, it is,” Harris replied:
And it is similar to previous times in history, when some people could not imagine how things can be different, and then leaders did imagine and could see it, and led. And so you have been a great leader. Do not be deterred.
Amusingly, her “father” then offered Harris a recording of the fictive conversation with Trump, which “Greta” said could help Harris defeat the “terrible man.”
“Thank you. That would be wonderful,” Harris said.
“We will stay in touch and work together, and I look forward to working with you,” Harris said to close the call. She also suggested she would meet with them.
And so the Democrat vice presidential candidate, like twice-failed socialist Bernie Sanders, invited foreign interference in a U.S. presidential election, and promised to permit a foreign teenager a role in directing U.S. climate policy.
The Gullible Sanders And Waters
Senator Sanders said “Greta” could help his campaign when the Russian pranksters fooled him in February.
“Well if you would like to help in our campaign that would be wonderful, and we would be very appreciative, because you have generated so much excitement among young people and all people throughout the world,” Sanders said.
When “Greta” and her “father” offered Waters the tape of the Evil Trump, the Congresswoman Waters asked the girl to plan a trip to Washington for a meeting.
