Politics A Tale of Two Kamalas The narrative woven about the Democrats’ new presumptive nominee is at odds with her record.

They should instead ask, ‘Where are all the followers?’”This statement, which I made on a radio show many years ago, mirrors the old aphorism, “People get the government they deserve.” It also is essentially what’s lamented by an author who asks about Kamala ...
