Media Continues to Ignore Kamala Harris' DNC Pipe Bomb Scare

A new DHS IG report confirms Harris came within 20 feet of an explosive on January 6--but regime media, J6 truth seekers, and even Harris herself continue to disregard the findings. Why?

Confirmation last week by the Department of Homeland Security that Vice President Kamala Harris came within several yards of an explosive device on the afternoon of January 6, 2021 should be one of the hottest stories right now.

The fact that the installed Democratic candidate for president barely escaped an attempt on her life by an alleged MAGA terrorist during what she compares to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor makes for ripe clickbait. Further, her stoicism in the face of such a grave threat—she has never discussed the matter publicly—not just to herself but to her staff and police officers protecting her that day at the DNC is the stuff heroes are made of.

Just imagine a campaign video for Team Harris: grainy footage of a hoodie-wearing Trump goon placing explosives outside the DNC on January 5 followed by clips of the arrival of Harris’ motorcade the next morning and her swift evacuation almost two hours later when the bomb was discovered by police.

Then her triumphant return to the Capitol in the wee hours of January 7 as Harris defeated both Trump and the MAGA bomber in one fell swoop!

Harris also could easily leverage her own attempted assassination to contrast what happened to Donald Trump on July 13, creating a political version of “Survivor.”

“I was a victim of an assassination attempt way before Donald Trump!” Harris could indignantly claim. Adding to the mystery is that the so-called MAGA bomber to date has not been caught.

But oddly, neither Harris nor regime media demonstrate any interest in covering one of the most pivotal moments of an event both Democrats and the media have obsessed over for more than three-and-a-half years. 

As I explained here, Harris hasn’t been asked about what happened to her that day. Regime media, with the exception of a few articles, barely mentions the pipe bomb incident in coverage of the events of January 6 even though the threat prompted the first wave of panic. And for almost a year, the Department of Justice lied in charging documents that Harris was at the Capitol on January 6 to support trespassing charges against hundreds of individuals before fessing up in court that whoops she was not there at any point during the four-hour disturbance.

This collective cover up raises many red flags. But now that Harris is the Democratic nominee for president and amid worries the Secret Service is failing to adequately defend the agency’s protectees, the ongoing memory holing of the DNC pipe bomber grows more suspicious.

Confirming What the Right has Exclusively Reported for Years

According to the inspector general for the DHS, the motorcade for the then-U.S. Senator from California drove right past a pipe bomb hours before Harris was set to make history as the first woman of color elected vice president. Harris had left the U.S. Capitol around 11:15 a.m. following a Senate intelligence briefing and arrived at the DNC with her Secret Service detail roughly ten minutes later. “The pipe bomb was approximately 9 feet from the building’s exterior wall and 20 feet from the center of the driveway to the garage entrance where the Vice President-elect, traveling in an armored vehicle with her motorcade, entered the building on January 6,” Inspector General Joseph Cuffari disclosed in his report on the Secret Service’s role in the events of January 6.

A plainclothes Capitol Police officer found the device around 1:05 p.m. after law enforcement was alerted about the discovery of a pipe bomb outside the Republican National Committee building a few blocks away.

Harris was evacuated from the DNC around 1:17 p.m.

But most Americans have never heard of this incident because regime media has completely ghosted the story, leaving the heavy lifting to a few journalists, Congressmen, and influencers on the Right.

Led by Revolver’s Darren Beattie, a handful of reporters including myself have pored over videos and documents to determine how numerous law enforcement agencies could have missed the crude device placed under a shrub between two exterior benches near the DNC entrance. Beattie also noted not just the presence of several police officers including Secret Service agents that day but passersby who also remarkably failed to notice the pipe bomb.

Earlier this year, I found video of bomb-sniffing canines conducting a search on two separate occasions a few hours before Harris’ arrival, but the dogs also failed to detect the explosive, which the FBI insisted was viable and deadly. Cuffari also dinged the Secret Service for not providing an explosives expert team on the site, which allegedly contributed to the security lapse.

Cuffari’s report disclosed other scandals related to January 6, particularly the criminal deletion of text messages belonging to two dozen Secret Service officials that have never been recovered.

J6 Truth Seekers Turn a Blind Eye

However the self-appointed truth seekers of J6 have ignored the report. A search for “Kamala Harris DNC Pipe Bomb,” “DHS Inspector General,” and “Joseph Cuffari” at the New York Times website did not produce a single recent article.

Ditto for CNN and MSNBC; in fact, the last time either outlet bothered to mention Kamala Harris and the DNC pipe bomb was back in 2022 during the height of the January 6 Select Committee’s hearings. One MSNBC reporter at the time said the committee planned to investigate the near-miss at the DNC; that, of course, never happened.

NBC News, which has a full-time reporter dedicated to all things January 6, has zero coverage of Cuffari’s report. A search on the website for CBS News, which also has a full-time reporter covering January 6, came up empty, too. Of the big three networks, only ABC News covered the details of Cuffari’s report related to the DNC bomb, describing the Secret Service’s failure to detect the device on several occasions with a protectee nearby as “potentially dangerous mistakes.”

And only one article appeared in the Washington Post on Cuffari’s report. Harris is mentioned in one sentence— “the explosive did not detonate, but Kamala Harris, then the vice president-elect, had walked within 20 feet of the device”—despite describing January 6 as “an assault on the Capitol by supporters of Trump, who were attempting to overthrow the 2020 election.”

Members of Congress purportedly dedicated to uncovering all the “facts” about January 6 similarly ignored the findings. Representative Bennie Thompson, chairman of the J6 committee, did not post a comment or response; neither did committee chairwoman Liz Cheney.

So, what could possibly explain the collective snub? It’s not as if the Biden regime, Democratic Party, and the media have moved on from January 6—to the contrary, the Capitol protest was supposed to be a major campaign theme this year.

Is it because a more sinister answer exists, one that could be told by the missing texts and absent security video—somehow the most surveilled city in America did not have a camera aimed at the outside area where the bomb was found—and by Harris herself? As Beattie and others have wondered, was Kamala’s still unexplained presence at the DNC—which coincided with the pipe bomb discovery at the RNC, the Ray Epps-led exterior breach, and the start of the joint session—part of a larger plan to initiate the fedsurrection?

And will a single reporter even bother to ask?
