Kamala Harris snipes at Trump and Elon Musk in NAACP Image Awards speech: ‘Shadows gathering over our democracy’
NY Post ^ | 2/23/25 | Ryan King

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.

Unlike during the first Trump administration, Democrats are finding themselves demoralized, divided, low on energy as they attempt to counter the president’s blitz of executive orders, appointments and Oval Office directives.

Harris implored attendees at the NAACP Image Awards and her supporters not to give up.

Thanks for running for POTUS, airhead! If it weren’t for you, Trump might not have been able to be reelected. Think about it when you get a chance.

It’s not a democracy or a republic and it’s not yours.

It’s not a democracy or a republic and it’s not yours and we want to claw back all the money you have grifted.

It’s time for her to do what she has been doing, and that time is every day.

NAACP counts Indians as “colored” these days?

Lol.

She is now unburdened.... “What can be, unburdened by what has been.” Use any search engine for the phrase. It has become famously infamous.

It sounds to me like Kamala might be going after Frankie the Pope’s job. The Popehood hasn’t had its “first woman of color” yet.

I haven’t heard “our democracy” since early last November. It was nice while it lasted.

“She’s largely laid low...”

Heh heh. That’s what Willie says, too.

KH has got an odd nasally sounding chord going on when she speaks. She sounds like she’s been snorting a lot of cocaine to me. Could it be?

Kamala showing that she doesn’t really support “democracy” when her side isn’t in power.
