Vice President Kamala Harris is the first “doofus” to be nominated for president, according to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. During an interview on Thursday with Fox News host Sean Hannity, the Georgia Republican did not mince words comparing her to former President Donald Trump and the latter’s ability to get good things done for the country regardless of what people think of him personally.
Hannity began the segment by asking Gingrich for his “analysis” of the VP. “Well, look, she has three really big problems. First, she’s just not very competent. I mean, you’re watching somebody who ought to be, like, in a high school play, and she’s on the national TV as a candidate,” he began. “She just can’t move at the speed and with the knowledge you expect. Second, we’re in a world that’s dangerous. It’s dangerous with hurricanes. It’s dangerous with the war in the Middle East. It’s dangerous in Ukraine. It’s dangerous with Venezuelan criminal gangs coming to the U.S. And that kind of a dangerous environment, people want someone strong.
“I thought [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis, for example, if you compare his press conference with her normal experience, DeSantis looks like he’s competent. He looks like he knows what he’s doing. And so her very being hurts her,” Gingrich said. “And then third, she has this huge crisis. Everything her base believes in, the country hates. And so she has to be for men, for example, competing with women. The country’s totally opposed to that. She can’t be for school choice. The teachers’ unions won’t let her.
“And you go to a whole series of issues. So she does this dance because if she’s really clear, one of two things will happen. The country will wipe her out or her base will rebel,” he continued. “And so she can never be honest about who she is. Those three things are all coming together in what I think is maybe the most disastrous TV series ever done by a presidential candidate.”
Hannity then stepped in: “If Donald Trump would just say in every appearance that maybe some of you don’t like me, but I will secure the border, I will fix the economy, and I will make the world safer, I think that would resonate. Am I wrong?”

Gingrich responded, “No, you’re right, but he didn’t have to say the first part. I mean, just relax. The country is going to make a decision. You know, they’re not asking him to go out on a date. They’re asking him to be commander-in-chief. They’re asking him to be president.
“They’re asking him to solve problems. The fact that he might not be the guy… Now, personally, I think it would be fun to have him over for an evening, but he might not be the guy that some people want to have over for the evening. But they sure as heck will prefer him keeping them safe to her being just a total… She’s a doofus,” he said. “I mean, this is the first doofus nominated for president, at least in my lifetime, and that’s the best way to understand it.”
