Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election to Donald Trump and spent months in hiding.
Now she's back lecturing America about voting rights and cozying up to the people who are dismantling what's left of the Democrat Party.
And Senator John Kennedy saw it and gave the whole spectacle a name that is going to stick.
Kennedy Just Handed Harris Her Political Obituary on Live Television
On Hannity Monday night, Kennedy didn't mince words about Harris's attempted comeback.
"No disrespect, but Vice President Harris is no longer relevant," he said. "She had her shot and she missed."
Then came the line.
"She can cozy up to the Lulu Lenins all she wants to,” he added. “But she has me confused with somebody who cares what she thinks. I mean, she's yesterday."
It's perfect because it's true.

The people Harris is aligning herself with – Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, AOC, Bernie Sanders – they wear yoga pants and post protest selfies and talk like college professors.
But underneath the Instagram activism is the same ideology that turned Venezuela into a country where people eat out of garbage cans.
That's not hyperbole.
That's the historical record.
Kennedy said it plainly: "Socialism is just the equal sharing of misery."
The Socialist Wave Is Not Hypothetical Anymore
This is not a warning about where Democrats are headed.
This is a description of where they already are.
Last week, Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democrat Senate primary for what is expected to be one of the most competitive seats in the country – a race that could determine control of the Senate.
El-Sayed, a democratic socialist backed by AOC and Bernie Sanders, defeated incumbent Rep. Haley Stevens by less than one point despite a nearly $65 million establishment money advantage against him.
Trump called him a "Communist loser who hates Jews and Israel."
Governor Gretchen Whitmer endorsed Stevens in a last-ditch effort to stop him. None of it worked.

In New York, DSA-affiliated candidates swept primaries up and down the ballot.
In Denver, Melat Kiros knocked off a Democratic incumbent.
In Michigan, Donavan McKinney ousted Rep. Shri Thanedar.
The DSA, the Working Families Party, and the UAW ran the board in a key swing state on the same night.
These are not fringe candidates hiding in safe blue districts – they are winning in battleground states with Senate implications.
What Kennedy Understands That Establishment Republicans Miss
Kennedy didn't stop at Harris.
He named the pattern.
"The people now in charge of the Democrat Party want to beat the crap out of America,” he said. “It's that simple. Get rid of all the millionaires – tax them into oblivion. Open the borders, open the prisons, defund the police, defund ICE. Every single one of them knows the words by heart to the Cuban national anthem."
He's not wrong, and the numbers back him up.
Think about what just happened in Michigan.
The entire Democrat establishment – Gretchen Whitmer, the pro-Israel lobby, $65 million in outside money – lined up against one socialist candidate.
And they lost by a point.
That's not a close call.
That's a warning.
The DSA has been running candidates, building coalitions, and winning primaries for years while the party's leadership looked the other way because they needed the turnout.
That calculation is now blowing up in their faces.
The people who beat the Democrat establishment in 2026 primaries will be the face of the party going into 2028.
Kamala Harris posting videos about voting rights is not going to change that.
She's not their future. She's not even their present.
Kennedy is right.
She's yesterday.
The Lulu Lenins are today.
And Republicans had better start treating them like the serious threat they are.
