Kamala Harris draws bigger crowd than Obama for launch of White House bid
Washington Examiner ^ | January 27, 2019 | Daniel Chaitin

Could Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., be generating more early buzz than former President Barack Obama did more than 10 years ago?

If attendance is any indicator, the answer could be yes.

The California senator officially entered the 2020 fray on Sunday with a speech outside Oakland City Hall. Ian Sams, Harris' press secretary, tweeted that more than 20,000 people showed up to see the event.

Compare that to February 2007, when then-Illinois Sen. Obama announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination in Springfield, Ill. Braving freezing-cold conditions outside the Old State Capitol, somewhere between 15,000 and 17,000 people showed up for his speech officially marking the beginning of his campaign.

Same old race baiting speech seasoned with heavy doses of covetous class envy.

History has shown on the dems’ side, the one who generates the most buzz in the beginning tends to fade out as time goes on.

FRONT RUNNER NEWS ITEMS---Kamala was Cali's AG 2011-17, then went to the US Senate; now considered 2020's front-runner.

ITEM----As Cali's top L/E officer, AG Harris compromised the interests of raped women. Harris was empowered to dispense
justice but failed to do so. Even as we type, hundreds, if not thousands, of Rape Kits are still unprocessed. locked
away in a govt basement closet.

Women's advocates must bring this scandal forward and ask why AG Kamala Harris turned her back on women, put rape
kits in a govt basement closet, and closed the door....thus leaving raped women without a scintilla of justice.

===================================

ITEM--AG HARRIS' INTERN'S SEXUAL HARASSMENT CLAIMS IGNORED:

<><> Harris says she was “unaware” one of her top staffers “preyed on a female intern” she employed while serving as California's AG.

<><> the sexual predator was still a defendant when she named him to her US Senate staff.

<><> the victim's long and highly visible paper trail includes (A) personnel reports, and, (B) a lawsuit.

<><> Miss Hartley began as predator Wallace's assistant in 2011.

<><>She reported Wallace's sexual harassment to her supervisor....but AG Kamala never knew;

<><> Hartley felt retaliated against and filed a lawsuit.....but AG Kamal never knew.

<><> Hartley was transferred to another DOJ office by the end of 2014.....but AG Kamala never knew.

<><> 2018 update: Kamala Harris' predatory aide resigns over harassment settlement.

================================

ITEM---Kamala Harris has a habit of "know-nothingness.”

<><>As AG, she said she had no idea her lawyers “argued against releasing non-violent prisoners from overcrowded prisons.”

<><>Or that they refused a DNA test to a black death-row prisoner amid indications of evidence-tampering.

============================================

As Cali AG, Kamala knew nothing. Kamala was too busy putting her vagina into the service of her country. (snx)

==========================================

FR POSTED: New evidence shows how then-California attorney general Kamala Harris’ office defied precedent to conceal and obscure the details of this illegal operation, including by “locking” a mandatory annual report on intercepted communications from public disclosure and allegedly changing the numbering system on the official report to make it impossible to identify each wiretap coming out of Riverside County. Many of these wiretaps were never explained and never resulted in action, and targets are still unnamed.

“Could Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., be generating more early buzz than former President Barack Obama did more than 10 years ago? “

And likely be even more of a disappointment (hard to believe) than Obama was.

Ian Sams, Harris' press secretary, tweeted that more than 20,000 people showed up to see the event.

Whether 20,000 people actually showed up is an entirely different question. He could have tweeted that 200,000 showed up, and the press would have said, "Oh, wow, awesome!" unless some higher-status Democrat candidate or official told them to say, "No wai!"

It’s no surprise that Cameldung could draw a large crowd in the cesspool of the Sanctuary State of Kalifornia.

I identified Kamala Harris as the most dangerous opponent on January 21, the day she announced, for the following reasons:

I have long regarded Camilla Harris is the most dangerous political adversary of 2020.

She is favored to get the nomination because: 1) she is African-American (replay of Barack Obama?) 2) she is female (this is clearly a time of feminization of our culture and our politics) 3) she comes from delegate rich California for the Democrat convention 4) she is aggressive and articulate 5) she is clearly ruthless enough for her ambition.

On the downside, if she gets the nomination and wins the election, she will be a very dangerous and disruptive president who will pitch the nation into a new dark age of real repression. Look to her to weaponize government against the people, especially religious people, and, yes I will say it, resistant white people.

On the upside, she is as unlikable as Hillary Clinton and it shows. That probably will not matter to Democrats who might accord her the nomination but it might be enough to lose her the election. The media will not display her bitchy side, but, no matter, that is something in which Donald Trump has demonstrated genius.

Well... her press secretary says so, ergo that makes it the rock-solid truth, eh?

They are desperate for another magic negro. This one will be even MORE magic because it is a women. The idea of identity politics is so deeply ingrained in the leftist hive mind they can’t escape it.

I really believe most people are on to their nonsense and this is just media driven hype. They really have no one of merit to stand up. It’s all about anger, and YOU have too much, so WE need to share it with those who didn’t earn it.

I posted several warnings about this “Whore” in this forum over the last few months. Don’t underestimate her. She is an evil conniving person and will be able to generate plenty of cash and gullible voters. She is already being touted as a “Front Runner” and with an early CA Primary (March 2020)she could start racking up a lot of delegates to win their nomination. I hope the republicans and Trump wake up and take her seriously.

If Harris press secretary says 20,000, divide it by 10.
Trump will smash da b*tch like a guitar (that is if he builds the wall. He doesn't build the wall, he is history.)
