Kamala Harris TV Ads Aimed at Black Men 'Sucked,' Ex-Obama Adviser Says
Newsweek ^ | Nov 08, 2024 | Aila Slisco

Posted on 11/08/2024 9:12:34 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

The Harris campaign's television ads aimed at Black men during the presidential election "sucked," former Barack Obama adviser Van Jones said on Friday.

President-elect Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris by a wide margin earlier this week. While Harris still won a large majority of the Black vote, Black voters, and Black men in particular, were among several demographic groups that shifted substantially toward Trump this year.

While speaking on CNN with Anderson Cooper, Jones argued that the Democratic ticket had lost a significant amount of the Black male vote because the campaign did not "actually listen more and lecture less when it comes to African American men."

"The Kamala Harris campaign wound up spending a bunch of money on TV ads, and the TV ads sucked," Jones said. "They did not appeal to anyone."

Jones went on to say that Black men "were not handled properly" in comparison to women, immigrants and transgender people.

"What was the agenda for immigrants? Comprehensive immigration reform," he said. "What's the agenda for women? Abortion. What's the agenda for transgender people? Dignity and respect. What was the agenda for Black men? You still can't tell me. And that was a problem on our side."

Jones also argued that Republicans were able to win over some Black men by adopting a more modern approach to outreach instead of relying on traditional media like television.

It’s fairly well known that Kam-kam sucks in everything she attempts. After all, sucking is what has worked for her...

Good. The still don’t get it. Trump got their votes because he actually listened to them and has a plan to act on their concerns.

I think being persecuted, and then shot may have given The Donald some street cred with black men.

Kamala's shambolic failing campaign and Trump's resurgent landslide popular vote victory has killed wokeness.

Mark my words. All of these social justice warriors placed undeservedly into positions of power and influence and who have ruined TV shows, ruined movies, ruined video games with their nonsense agendas that they shoved down out throats are going to quietly get fired in the next few months.

People are so over this crap.

That one of the Alabama Gomer playing with a fence post was the one that cracked me up. I hope they gave him a pretty good paycheck for showing himself as being a far left Jackass.

[Kamala Harris TV Ads Aimed at Black Men 'Sucked,' Ex-Obama Adviser Says]

And Obama came in to deliver the death blow ... (but for different reasons altogether /obscure Seinfeld reference)

Liar Obama expected everyone to kneel at his Satan-inspired words - NOT TODAY SATAN!

Does this mean they will allow white people in ads again?

Lol.

The thing that’s great about Obama is that he’s the kiss of death to a whole lot of things. He definitely did more damage to Kamala Harris than he helped.

She should have tried hanging out with Sugar Ray Leonard and that guy they call the Exterminator.

She could have also watched a video with a black family. They love that.

If the stories are true, Obama did too.
