CNN’s Tapper: Harris Gave a ‘Very Powerful Speech’ with ‘Unifying Rhetoric’ Like Obama in 08
Breitbart ^ | 08/22/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 08/23/2024 6:33:06 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CNN host Jake Tapper said Thursday on his network’s special coverage of the Democratic National Convention that Vice President Kamala Harris gave a “very, very powerful speech.”

Tapper said, “Vice President Kamala Devi Harris, age 59, daughter of Oakland, accepting her party’s nomination. It was a speech that four weeks and five days ago, she was not preparing to make. But as she said, she is no stranger to unlikely journeys. She shared with us her origin story as a prosecutor, with her childhood friend, Wanda Kagan who is here tonight, being molested by her upon stepfather. She talked about representing the people, Kamala Harris for the people.”

He continued, “She discussed how she would be a president for everyone. And wanting to perform an opportunity, economy for the middle class. It was a speech of progressive politics and unifying rhetoric. A speech with many, many shots across the bough, at Donald Trump, her opponent. And a speech in which she sought to portray herself as a credible commander-in-chief, patriotic, firm, confident and credible. She discussed Israel and Palestine. She discussed Ukraine. She discussed the threat from Iran.”

She said nothing substantially more than a cheerleader would say at a HS tryout.

Snake Yapper is a well-paid propagandist.

“Rhetoric” being the key word here.

And there was no “unifying” speech from Harris nor any other speaker at the Democrat’s convention.

“She talked about representing the people, Kamala Harris for the people.””

Unifying? More like... gagifying rhetoric. The kind that only someone terminally stupid... or someone radically leftist/evil would applaud. And again, if she really could do all those things... why haven’t they already been done? It’s not like she hasn’t been in power as VP since 2021. The only thing I’ve seen from her is a big fat ZERO (sorry, Barry, but you’ve been replaced).

To democrats, it’s about rhetoric. Rhetoric is not actions, and actions is what matters.

Promises are not actions either. It’s what gets done when it matters that matters.

Unifying rhetoric is what Obama promised, but he delivered a the opposite.

Promise them anything, but forget about those promises once in office. That’s really how democrats get elected and act afterwards. The people are easily duped, and then they complain about how things are not going well, and then turn around and reelect the people who made the false promises and delivered badly. America has been in that vicious cycle for many decades now, and the future remains bleak.

t. And a speech in which she sought to portray herself as a credible commander-in-chief, patriotic, firm, confident and credible…

Putin, Kim, Xi and the ayatollahs are drooling at the thought of Harris as CINC.

But the joy that they keep talking about completely contradicts the main focus of their campaign.

The main focus of their campaign is that Trump is so dangerous ,,that if Trump gets reelected ,,that will be the end of Life as We Know It.

They are pushing abortion and fear of Donald Trump as their meaning issues.

Im reading the latest Brad Thor… he has a patriotic and firm President, and badass competent women intelligence agents. Then I look at reality today with a demented enfeebled President, DEI hires destroying all our institutions and I’m having a hard time accepting Thor’s fantasy.

Kamala Harris is, under the Jamaican Constitution and as recognized by U.S. law regarding dual citizenship, a dual citizen at birth. Dual Citizens at birth are not, and can never be, Art. II, §1, Cl. 5 natural-born Citizens.

Now that they have judicial standing to do so, Trump, Harris, or even RFK Jr., or perhaps all three, should bring this matter before a Court of competent jurisdiction as a public service and get the Court to tell us who is and who isn’t an Art. II, §1, Cl. 5 natural-born Citizen for the good of the Republic.

“”It was a speech that four weeks and five days ago, she was not preparing to make””

That’s laughable...she’s been preparing for it since 2021....

I’d support Harris for the bobsled team, but not President.

Additional:

I am sorry. But I just had an epiphany! What if SCOUTU, upon granting certiorari, also opens up a first-class forum on the cases it has allowed certiorari on and allows the listing of others the public would like to have addressed?

Jake, rhetoric doesn’t get $hit done. Democrats think that Kamala will wave a magic wand and problems will go away. She’s unburdened by reality.

A shot across the bough?

Must be a squirrel hunting metaphor.

“daughter of Oakland”

Interesting talking point. This is a blatant attempt to paint her as “down for the struggle” like they did with Obama. “See she’s down for the struggle and super black because she is a daughter of Oakland. Oakland is a chocolate city. SEE.”

The polling for black support for her must be truly bad with this new released talking point. I expect we will hear that exact “daughter of Oakland” line from every DNC media whore now.
