Kamala Harris bizarrely references viral elephant video in speech attacking Trump’s ‘vision for America’ after first 100 days: ‘Google it’

She didn’t avoid the elephant in the room.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris emerged from political hibernation to deliver a stern rebuke of President Trump — before bizarrely shifting focus to a lighthearted video of elephants at the San Diego Zoo during an earthquake.

“A lot of folks are wondering what’s going to guide us through this moment. How are we all going to figure out how to chart the course,” Harris said during her Wednesday address at Emerge’s 20th anniversary gala in San Francisco. “Please allow me, friends, to digress for a moment.”

“Okay, it’s kind of dark in here, but I’m ask[ing] for a show of hands — who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake. Google it if you’ve not seen it,” she went on with a cackle.

Harris described how after they “felt the earth shaking beneath their feet,” elephants in the zoo “got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable.”

“What a powerful metaphor,” she said. “Because we know those who try to incite fear are most effective when they divide and conquer, when they separate the herd, when they try to make everyone think they are alone.”

The light-hearted moment came in the middle of a speech that painted a dystopian view of America under Trump as her former 2024 foe marks his 100th day in the White House.

Emerge, which hosted the gala Harris spoke at, is a progressive organization that trains women to run for office.

And this......

thehill.com———Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said one reason he was chosen as Harris’s running mate was because he could “code talk to white guys watching football” and “fixing their truck,” saying the Harris campaign sought to tap into Walz’s Midwest roots, teacher ties, military service and coaching of a high school football team in an attempt to appeal to general election voters.

While he liked to think he was chosen because of his delivering “amazing progressive things in Minnesota,” he acknowledged a large part was to connect with white swing-state voters.

“I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck, I could put them at ease,”
Walz said. “I was the permission structure to say, ‘Look you can do this and vote for this.’”

Walz noted, however, that they “didn’t get enough of those votes,” and acknowledged missteps during the Democrats’ 107-day campaign but said he is aiming to help the party rebuild ahead of the next election cycle.

Now we know for sure Harris is a looney tune......here’s what the loon actually said:

“Okay, it’s kind of dark in here, but I’m ask[ing] for a show of hands — who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake. Google it if you’ve not seen it,” she went on with a cackle.

Harris described how after they “felt the earth shaking beneath their feet,” elephants in the zoo “got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable.”

“What a powerful metaphor,” she said. “Because we know those who try to incite fear are most effective when they divide and conquer, when they separate the herd, when they try to make everyone think they are alone.”


Huh?

So the instinctive behavior of elephants reacting to potential danger is a powerful metaphor. Ok, let me take a wild stab at this. You lost an election. The political landscape is shifting and you feel threatened. So you huddle together instead of scattering like frightened donkeys. You circle the wagons, protecting your own interests instead of understanding why you lost. Good, keep it up.

OMG, that was a perfect reminder of what God and the good people of the United States of America came together to remove from office. She’s absolutely disgusting and “Dougie” too.

Odd that she uses a video of the GOP mascot to show protective behaviour. For the most part the dims only protect criminals.

Re: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D)

I am still amazed they managed to find someone more weird than Tim Kaine to be Kamala’s running mate. The idea that Walz could talk to Joe Sixpack and relate is hilarious. The video of him ineffectively trying to load a shotgun went viral precisely because Joe Sixpack was laughing at him and passing it along. His prancing stage presence was not something Joe Sixpack was ever going to find reassuring, something that was going to get Walz that vote.

They needed a gay, white, child diddling, commie to “code talk” to white football-watchers?!?

He made white, football-watching, pickup-fixing men’s skin crawl. What a putz.

In English class, that is called mixing metaphors.

But English is evidently no longer taught.

I know all of those football-watchers were impressed when Walz, after playing fantasy football, complemented the other person for the "pick-six" play that they called.
