Kamala Harris Plays Clip Of Trump Being Hitler, In Case Media Just Can't Bear To
Not afraid to be service-y.
Last night, Kamala Harris’s campaign made an interesting decision, and it wasn’t standing on stage and swaying to Grandma’s Favorite Broadway Songs for 39 minutes while looking completely dead and confused. (We’ll get to that, trust us.)
Harris reacted specifically to Donald Trump’s comments from this weekend, calling for the military to go after people who disagree with him — you know, those sick, radical-left elements in the country — and let the news orgs know she was going to do it. And then she, during her own rally, said LET’S GO TO THE TAPE, and everybody watched some Trump together.
We don’t think that’s a thing campaigns usually do! But in this media landscape, where even supposedly serious news organizations like the New York Times can’t bear to report accurately on Trump and feel they must instead sanewash his every utterance, so as to create the illusion of two equal and yet opposite candidates, maybe it’s a good idea.
Take a gander at the video for yourself, it’s kinda remarkable:
“He is someone who will stop at nothing to claim power for himself. And you don’t have to take my word for it. I’ve said for a while now, watch his rallies. Listen to his words. He tells us who he is. And he tells us what he would do if he is elected president. So here tonight, I will show you one example of Donald Trump’s worldview and intentions.
“Please roll the clip!”
You could see on her face that she knew how remarkable of a thing she was doing. It was almost a mischievous look, a look that said, well damn, if the media won’t prosecute the case, the prosecutor will.
And there in the clip was Trump saying “the worst people are the enemies from within,” worse than Russia or China. Saying people who criticize his beloved fascist judges should go to jail. Calling for “The Purge,” because apparently Stephen Miller allowed him to watch it one night and it’s been giving him nocturnal emissions ever since.
Saying the military should go after his enemies, AKA you and me and the people at Harris’s rally.
“You heard his words coming from him,” she said to the crowd when the clip ended. “He’s talking about ‘the enemy within,’ Pennsylvania. He’s talking about the enemy within our country, Pennsylvania. He’s talking about that he considers anyone who doesn’t support him, or who will not bend to his will, an enemy of our country. It’s a serious issue. He’s saying, he is saying, that he will use the military to go after them.”
She mentioned journalists who write stories that upset him, “election officials who refuse to cheat by finding extra votes for him,” and so forth.
Harris has been doing this, as she said. She did it at the debate. Telling people hey, if you don’t believe me, go to one of his debates. See the things he says there. Watch the people getting bored and leaving. Go check out what a loser and a fascist he is. (Especially since Fox News often will cut away from his rallies — or just from him babbling in general — when he’s starting to get really meandering/sick/gross/weird.)
Can’t say you haven’t heard what he said if she’s confident enough to play his words during her rallies.
If the media won’t report on how one of the guys running for president is completing his metamorphosis into Hitler before our very eyes, she will.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
EVEN IF I have substantial policy disagreements with Kamala Harris, we need women of color in leadership in the highest positions in our country because the imaginarium of power cannot picture an uncontrolled woman of color exercising executive authority. As CEO, as governor of states like Georgia, as POTUS: the USA and the people who exercise outsize influence upon it due to their wealth and station fear the uncontrolled Black woman, fear the uncontrolled indigenous woman.
This not only limits who can occupy certain offices, but it also affects law and policy since the powerful cannot conceive of the uncontrolled woman of color, laws and policies are crafted to blunt power, to restrict autonomy.
If Kamala Harris did nothing else as president but shepherded the country through 4 relatively uneventful years with no notable successes and few to no notable failures -- going down as the 30th or 35th best president in US history -- she would still be valuable to all of us because, as with Barack Obama, the mere fact of her exercising power without destroying the country will soften racist fears, and beyond Obama soften sexist fears as well. A Harris presidency will reshape the imaginarium of power.
But beyond this, I do agree with many of her policies. So for the next 4 years I want Harris as my president to do what she can and do what she believes is right and for us as a nation to watch her using that power, building with her own hands. I want this not only because she will be much better over those 4 years than Trump has any hope of being, but also because should she serve even just 4 years, she makes even more possible in future elections, in future presidencies.
Go grab that ring, Kamala. My hopes go with you.
Jimmy Carter has fulfilled one of his last goals in life and voted for Kamala Harris.
Let’s hope he gets to see her take the Oath of Office.
