The Hill Reports Trump’s ‘Trying to’ Link Kamala Harris to Biden’s Disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal

The Hill Reports Trump’s ‘Trying to’ Link Kamala Harris to Biden’s Disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal

When it comes to the media’s attempts to help spin on behalf of the Kamala Harris campaign, we’re seeing a lot of the tried and true “Trump pounces” approach as it pertains to Harris’ record and past comments.

For example, Politico is helping Harris try and make everybody forget the last nearly four years of the “Biden-Harris administration” (as it still says on the White House website) and instead trying to convince voters that Harris had nothing to do with it. Politico reported that JD Vance, in a recent interview, “tried to tie Harris to the Biden administration’s policies.”

The policy in question that Politico was running cover for Harris over was border security, but The Hill has seen that approach and applied it to Biden and Harris’ Afghanistan withdrawal disaster:

— The Hill (@thehill) August 28, 2024

JD Vance “tried to tie” Harris to the Biden-Harris admin’s policies and now Trump’s “trying to link” Harris to the botched and deadly Afghanistan withdrawal. 

Good Lord.

This fight is just endless.

Media have truly become the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. We don’t have to just beat Kamala, we have to beat the media as well. https://t.co/nAShPGjSz3

The headline should be “Harris linked herself to the Afghanistan withdrawal”: 

Dana Bash: “Biden just made a really big decision. Afghanistan [withdrawal]. Were you the last person in the room?”
Kamala Harris: “Yes.”

‘There’s nothing to celebrate’: Gaza protests continue around DNC

Al Jazeera witnesses violent arrest of two hijab-wearing women as thousands in Chicago rally for Palestinian rights.

Chicago, United States – Chants echoed through the streets around the United Center in Chicago, where thousands of Democratic delegates and supporters gathered on Wednesday to officially nominate Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential candidate.

“Just like 1968, there’s nothing to celebrate,” the Palestinian rights protesters shouted, highlighting the parallels they see between this Democratic National Convention in Chicago and a previous convention held in the city during tensions over the Vietnam War.

Just as Democratic candidate Hubert Humphrey lost the 1968 race to Richard Nixon, the demonstrators are warning Harris that they will not support her unless she ends the United States’ unconditional support for Israel.

Wednesday was the third day of the convention and the third day of the Gaza protests.

“DNC your hands are red, over 40,000 dead,” the protesters chanted as they waved Palestinian flags while marching in the streets.

Police officers dragged a row of bicycles – forming a moving chain – on the side of the road along the march to keep protesters on the approved path.

Whenever the protest came close to the convention centre, a wall of dozens of police officers blocked the road leading to the security perimeter that had been established around the venue.

A police helicopter hovered above the protest throughout.

Jinan Chehade, one of the activists leading the chants, agreed that Wednesday’s protest had been the largest of the 2024 convention.

“The turnout is amazing, and it’s a reflection of our call for justice and how big the Palestinian movement in Chicago is,” Chehade told Al Jazeera.

The protesters expressed anger and pain through their chants and posters over the war on Gaza, where Israel has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians in the past 10 months. But the demonstration remained peaceful.

Al Jazeera witnessed police officers violently arrest two young women at a transit station.

As the demonstration snaked through the street leading to the Damen transit station, several journalists and some demonstrators rushed to the elevated train platform that overlooks the road to take aerial footage of the crowd.

Law enforcement agents reminded people that photography was prohibited at the station, but their orders were largely ignored as journalists and protesters, including many professional photographers, continued to snap pictures.

Police officers, however, singled out two women wearing the hijab and after a brief exchange, they wrestled them to the ground and handcuffed them.

Demonstrators gathered around the police officers and chanted, “Let them go”. Meanwhile, more law enforcement agents showed up at the scene to escort the two women and arresting officers out of the station.

Officers did not respond to multiple questions by Al Jazeera on why the two visibly Muslim women were arrested out of more than two dozen people taking photos on the platform.

The Chicago Police Department also did not immediately return a request for comment.

More protests are scheduled on Thursday when the convention is set to conclude with Harris accepting the Democratic nomination.

Chicago is home to one the largest Palestinian communities in the US. Lizette Garza, a social justice activist, said people of various backgrounds in the city were “grieving” for the atrocities in Gaza alongside Palestinians.

“It’s really important for Chicago particularly as a liberal city to represent and to be antiwar when our families and communities are hurting so much,” Garza told Al Jazeera.

  • Feds File New Indictment in Trump Jan. 6 Case After Supreme Court Immunity Ruling

(WASHINGTON) — Special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday filed a new indictment against Donald Trump over his efforts to undo the 2020 presidential election that keeps the same criminal charges but narrows the allegations against him following a Supreme Court opinion conferring broad immunity on former presidents.

The new indictment removes a section of the indictment that dealt with Trump’s interactions with the Justice Department, an area of conduct for which the Supreme Court in a 6-3 opinion last month said Trump was entitled to immunity from prosecution.

The updated criminal case no longer lists as a co-conspirator Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department official who championed Trump’s false claims of election fraud. Trump’s co-conspirators were not named in either indictment, but they have been identified through public records and other means.

The special counsel’s office said the updated indictment, filed in federal court in Washington, was issued by a grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in the case.

The indictment retained the allegations that Trump attempted to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify the electoral vote count. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court that the interactions between Trump and Pence amounted to official conduct for which “Trump is at least presumptively immune from prosecution.”

The question, Roberts wrote, is whether the government can rebut “that presumption of immunity.”
