Kamala Harris snipes at Trump and Elon Musk in NAACP Image Awards speech: ‘Shadows gathering over our democracy’

She lost the election, but she’ll always have the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris reemerged in the public limelight for her first major speech since departing the White House Saturday night and took not-so-subtle shots at both President Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk.

During an acceptance speech at the 56th annual NAACP Image Awards, Harris painted a bleak picture of the state of the country and urged attendees not to lose hope as her own party struggles over its direction amid Trump’s return.

“While we have no illusions about what we are up against in this chapter in our American story, this chapter will be written not simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office nor by the wealthiest among us,” Harris, 60, dressed in an all-black pantsuit, said during her acceptance speech.

“The American story will be written by you. Written by us. By we the people.”

Harris was the first Democratic presidential candidate to lose the popular since John Kerry in 20 years ago. She trailed trump Trump, 78, by some 2.3 million votes — and lost every swing state.

She’s largely laid low in the public eye since Trump officially roared back into the White House last month.

Poor Kamala and her speech dumps…..she always has these grunt stops like she’s trying to force of the next verbal chain.
She probably practices her speeches on the toilet.
Kamala it’s the NAACP, not the NAACPoop.
