'Good little minions': Kamala Harris exited her speech slamming Trump's SCOTUS pick to deafening silence of reporters not shouting questions

Joe Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris (or is Joe her running mate?) went to North Carolina today for a campaign event about Trump’s SCOTUS nomination. Harris probably also planned to sound the alarm about climate change and emissions because she arrived in a private jet and we love irony:

JUST NOW: Kamala Harris has just arrived in North Carolina for events in Raleigh today. She’ll be giving remarks about SCOTUS today and will also be holding a “sister to sister” roundtable, which is part of a series of events the campaign has been holding. pic.twitter.com/H6XYZLccix

During her remarks, Harris naturally slammed the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett because abortion, and there was also a good deal of projection:

Kamala Harris: "It feels sometimes like this is just too much — too much for us to take, too much for our country to take. I think that's what they want you to believe. They want you to feel tired. They want you to feel like your fight doesn't matter. But we will not give up." pic.twitter.com/z2p9ItGMeQ

Reporters were on the scene and assigned their socially distant circles as usual:

Harris concluded her remarks and then walked out:

Harris read her speech from a teleprompter for the live stream and then left. Did not take any reporter questions.

And from the dead silence we don’t think any reporters even attempted to ask questions:

The election is five weeks from tomorrow.

VP nominee @KamalaHarris – who would be a heartbeat away from the presidency – doesn’t take a single question from journalists after her prepared remarks.

In fact, none bothered to ask any.pic.twitter.com/zwhUfE1yYd

Do journos think those circled they’re sitting in are also soundproof?

Not one shouted question. Media lapdogs. https://t.co/ZHZ0eJLxwt

When is the last time she took a question @CBSNews? https://t.co/a6ac8kBtjF

The media didn’t even try to shout questions at her. Good little minions.

That appears to be the “strategy” for the foreseeable future.
