Kamala’s Cringeworthy Pandering
Frontpagemagazine ^ | July 2, 2024 | Mark Tapson

Posted on 07/03/2024 7:01:12 AM PDT by SJackson

“Yeah girl, I’m out here in these streets.”

If you missed Sunday night’s Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards show because you had something better to do, like trimming your toenails, then you mercifully missed a pre-recorded, badly scripted cameo appearance by epically incompetent Vice President Kamala Harris that is being roundly mocked as evincing a “toenail curling level of cringe.”

Framed as a spontaneous video call from host and actress Taraji P. Henson in her dressing room to “Madame Vice President Harris” at her White House desk, Henson dials the VP and begins, “Madame Vice President Harris, I’m worried about the election. Women’s reproductive rights are on the line, our Supreme Court is on the line, our basic freedoms are being tested. Madame Vice President, I know you’ve been traveling across the country. What are you hearing?”

Hilariously, Kamala responds in her best pandering “black-cent”: “Yeah girl, I’m out here in these streets.” Out here in these streets? I guess we can count ourselves lucky that she didn’t say “Out here in the ‘hood.” This is both laughable and offensive because, first, Kamala only marginally qualifies as “black.” She is the daughter of an Indian immigrant mother and a Jamaican immigrant father. Second, Americans by and large find nothing genuine, relatable, or likeable about her personality, no matter how toothy a smile she flashes.

“And let me tell you, you’re right, Taraji,” Kamala continues, obviously reading from the script on her phone. “There is so much at stake in this moment. The majority of us believe in freedom and equality. But these extremists? As they say, they not [sic] like us.”

“No, they not [sic],” Henson agrees. The pandering here to BET’s audience – the condescending assumption that black Americans as a whole respond favorably to this sort of illiterate patois – should be revolting to self-respecting blacks who want to be treated like individuals instead of a demeaning stereotype.

By “these extremists,” Kamala and Henson don’t mean the Pride Parade pedophiles publicly normalizing every perversion and recruiting children into drag shows; they don’t mean the gender ideologue “educators” grooming our youth into their sexualized, anti-family cult; they don’t mean the anti-capitalist revolutionaries of Black Lives Matter or the brutal brownshirts of Antifa; they don’t mean the Hamas cheerleaders dominating our college campuses. They mean those white supremacist, MAGA deplorables who are fed up with the racist divisiveness of DEI, the prioritizing of illegals over citizens, the pro-crime policies turning our cities into lawless wastelands, the emasculation of our military, the catastrophic economy, the politicization of the personal, and the queering of the culture. Those extremists.

“Madame Vice President Harris” goes on to tell Henson, “There is a full-on attack on our fundamental freedoms: the freedom to vote, the freedom to love who you love, the freedom to be safe from gun violence, the freedom for a woman to make decisions about her own body, not having her government tell her what to do.”

What shameless gaslighting and fear-mongering. The only full-on attack on our freedoms, primarily the First Amendment, is coming from Kamala’s party. The only threat to voting rights is coming from the party that commits widespread voter fraud and gives voting rights to illegal aliens. The “freedom to love who(m) you love” is an innocuous euphemism for the gender madness that is fracturing our society. The threat to our “freedom to be safe from gun violence” (that’s not actually one of our freedoms, by the way) is from the party that wants to disarm law-abiding Americans but get guns in the hands of illegals. And no one is taking away a pregnant woman’s right to make decisions about her own body; it’s the sovereign, separate human body of the baby inside her that is at issue.

Henson then says, “They out here [sic] trying to take away Pride, Plan B and Planned Parenthood, but protecting pistols. If you ask me, they pushing [sic] the wrong Ps.” Estimates of Henson’s net worth range from $12 million to $30 million, depending on the source, and she made the Dean’s List at Howard University but thinks talking like a stereotype from the ‘hood makes her relatable.

Harris responded, “They want to turn back the clock on our hard-fought progress.” Well, she’s right about that, at least. The MAGA movement does want to roll back the progressive policies and indoctrination that are destroying this once-great nation of ours. We want to turn back the clock on DEI, the wokification of our military, the Critical Race Theory cancer in our educational institutions, all of the disastrous directions into which the Left is dragging this country in the name of “progress.”

Asked what could be done about this worrisome state of affairs, Madame Vice President Harris concludes by replying,

We will do what we’ve always done. Fight for our freedoms. But here’s the thing, we cannot fight alone. We need to get our families, our friends, co-workers, cousins, play cousins, aunties and uncles, get all of them to register to vote. That’s why I’ve been so busy, trying to make sure everyone is registered to vote and that they head to the ballot box on November 5.

By “everyone” she means registering every single one of the millions of illegal aliens that have been encouraged to flood our open southern border, because Democrats know the only way to win in November is through millions of imported non-citizens voting for The Party That Promises Free Sh*t™.

Social media lit up with almost universally negative responses to the segment on BET. Variations of the word “cringeworthy” appeared frequently. Elon Musk himself took to his platform X to describe the painfully on-the-nose skit as a “Toenail curling level of cringe.”

Citizen Free Press added correctly that even “Black Americans are embarrassed by Kamala.”

A black X user named Alaina Nicole wrote, “Lmao we haven’t heard from Kamala in dang near 4 years and now she wants to pander to us on the BET Awards?!”

Conservative author Brad Palumbo tweeted, “How is it not considered wildly offensive to have Kamala so blatantly put on a ‘blackcent’ when speaking to BET like this?”

Podcaster Gareth Cliff posted, “Surely Democrat women don’t actually talk to each other like this. So patronising.”

Patronizing indeed. The Democrat party infantilizes blacks and pretends to have their back, while offering not a single policy that actually elevates their existence. The party needs blacks locked into a state of victimhood and in fear of a nonexistent “systemic white supremacy” because self-hating affluent white liberals aren’t enough to keep the party afloat.

Now that the whole country is abuzz with speculation about decrepit Joe Biden’s status for the upcoming election, the big question is, what to do with Kamala Harris? The Democrats know that even in the very unlikely event they can dissuade Biden from running, second-in-command Kamala is deeply unpopular and deeply unaccomplished. Her embarrassing cameo on the BET awards show makes that painfully clear.

oh God, not this again. Just drop it, it wont work.

Heels Up Harris is a loser regardless. We don’t need to fight the Obama battle again, no one cares what the constitution says on that issue, the same way they don’t care about the VP and President being from the same state (GW Bush and Cheney)

Worth keeping in mind:
“By “these extremists,” Kamala and Henson don’t mean the Pride Parade pedophiles publicly normalizing every perversion and recruiting children into drag shows; they don’t mean the gender ideologue “educators” grooming our youth into their sexualized, anti-family cult”

Democrats never ever get questioned about these weirdos.

she made the Dean’s List at Howard University

Dean's list at a fourth-rate "university" set up specifically to give the veneer of educational respectability to the unintelligent and incompetent?

I'm ...

not impressed.

Harris is as Black as Elizabeth Warren is Native American. Sure she is racially mixed, but not as the saying goes authenticity Black. Her trying to be hip with Black speech affectations in this interview make her look ridiculous. Heaven save our Republic if she becomes POTUS

The only black DNA in Kamala Harris is from Willie Brown.

Obviously scripted and edited, and I’d argue that they were using their phones as teleprompters for most of it. The video wasn’t just a locked down camera, there were pans and different camera angles.

Really spontaneous and believable… 🙄

“Pride Parade pedophiles publicly normalizing every perversion”

Love it! I’m assuming it’s intentional - do it fairly often myself. It usually starts out with just a couple of words, but then I notice it and milk it for all it’s worth.

Well-played!

But it seems to work. Or works despite the obvious pandering.

What you or I would be offended at, others seem to accept and will vote Dem regardless. You can’t fix stupid

I saw DirecTV ads billing the BET Awards show “Culture’s Biggest Night”. Perhaps I’ve been misinformed as to what ‘culture’ is.

This woman is so ludicrous. How can anyone take her seriously. Too bad the democrats chose their vote based on a vagina and dark skin…..maybe they’ll learn from this (doubt it). She’s absolute cringe.
