Just as they have in Trump’s past campaigns, the Russians are again waging a major disinformation campaign on his behalf.
The media’s virtually silence on the subject is tantamount to playing Russian roulette with our future.
But the Harris campaign should make this a major issue in the campaign. Kamala should raise the subject at every opportunity.
Read MoreKamala Harris’s proposal to stop price-gouging us neither radical nor new. But to hear the howling from the right, you’d think she had replaced the Stars and Stripes with the Hammer and the Sicle.
Countless commentators, including many who should know better, have claimed that she wants to impose wage-price controls, that her proposal is an unprecedented intrusion on free markets, and that she’s attacking mom and pop stores.
They’re lying, and serving the Trump campaign, and she should say so.

But no one knows it
