Kamala Harris Delivers First Campaign Speech: "Trump Is The Reason Millions Of Americans Are Unemployed"
RCP video ^ | 8-12-2020 | Tim Hains

Posted on 08/13/2020 4:28:48 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his recently chosen running mate Kamala Harris appeared together for the first time Wednesday in Delaware.

Harris ... outlined her goal to pass a new civil rights act in honor of John Lewis and placed the blame for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic squarely on President Trump: "This virus has impacted almost every country, but there's a reason it has hit America worse than any other advanced nation. It’s because of Trump’s failure to take it seriously from the start."

The case against President Trump is "open and shut," Harris said. "He inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden. And then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground."

"America is crying out for leadership. Yet we have a president that cares about himself more than the people who elected him," Harris said. "We don't have to accept the failed government of Trump-Pence... In just 83 days we have a chance to choose a better future for our country."

(snip)

Speaking about Biden, she said: "He's someone who never asks, 'Why is this happening to me?' and instead asks, 'What can I do to make life better for you?' (!!!) This empathy, compassion, this sense of duty to care for others, is why I am so proud to be on this ticket," she said. "Today he takes his place in the ongoing story of America's march toward equality and justice as the only one who has served alongside the first black president, and has chosen the first black woman as his running mate."

How can she 'pass a new civil rights act' as Veep? As senator, she can write or sponsor a bill, but 'pass' it?

Notice the not-so-subtle dig about Trump's past business bankruptcies "ran straight into the ground", let alone the big whopper about the laughable "longest economic expansion in history'. Ask any black (or white for that matter) if their personal finance took off before or after Trump.

As for refuting those other claims, FReepers can join in, otherwise I'll post more of my thoughts in the discussion thread below.

Someone crossed out Washington on the Welcome to Washington sign and put New Delhi. The people know the deal: she ain't black.

This is indirectly true - the democrats hate President Trump so much they deliberately drove the economy off the cliff!

Trump had millions working, especially blacks and women, when the left deliberately shut down the economy and then blamed it on Trump.

After quick glancing through all the praises (some even merged to obeisance, as critics calling out NYT "drooling") over Kamala Harris,

you notice it is all about her gender and her race.

For a 'historic' pick on the national stage, it is as if the other side don't treat Kamala Harris as a real person, with true accomplishments to be proud of. So very cringe-worthy and embarrassing.

A sprinkle of "she's tough" thrown in there, but never about tough on what.

Reasons millions are unemployed are Cuomo, DeBlasio,Murphy, Whitmar, Wolf and the rest of the far left Dem governors and mayors who deliberately used draconian lockdown diktats to run their economies into the ground with sole aim of using the economy to beat Trump in November. Trump had the best economy ever before then.

IMHO, I think her recent plastic surgery was to make her look more “black”. Before, she sort of looked like a darker Faye Dunaway. Not anymore.
