The NAXALT Argument as Distraction Premise

"When it comes to religious affiliation, Harris has tried to hedge her bets to even greater extent. Though raised “according to Hindu tradition” by her mother, Kamala also claims to have celebrated Kwanzaa, before becoming a Baptist in adulthood. She’s now Shabbat-adjacent through her marriage to Doug Emhoff and lights menorahs when well-wishing Hanukkah to her social media followers. It seems her spirit has been around the block as much as her body has."
