Sam attempts to carry water for Kamala in the most pandering of ways. At 1:58:00, (https://youtu.be/cTnV5RfhIjk?si=KHHk0LcaV6pTDJxp&t=7080) he suggests that Biden and Harris were just too incompetent to have foreseen that their border policy would do what? Allow millions of people to cross it? Hello? With hindsight, I would have foreseen that jumping off a roof would lead me to hit the ground at speed. Please forgive me for not knowing that. And once you've done that, please charge me with making all future important decisions equally and even more complicated.

At, https://youtu.be/cTnV5RfhIjk?si=hq2PMpgiYjWCV8En&t=7694 Bari asks Sam about hatred of Trump so profound that impairs your otherwise you know profound judgment.

Of course, Sam obfuscates. Rather than heed his own advice to Kamala to own her past mistakes, he does exactly what Kamala has been doing and changes the question. Look at the first paragraph here and ask yourself how Sam's covering for Kamala is anything but deflection. How can one pretend that it should legitimately be chalked up to confusion that if I leave the door open and unguarded, I'm inviting anyone who wants to enter to do so.

Yes, certainly Sam has been able to sort wheat from chaff (clarity from confusion) in the past. And I'm confident that he is able to here too. The problem is not the ability to do so. He is totally UNWILLING to.
