Kamala Harris has a major problem with black voters. Barack Obama can clearly sense it.
Obama was in Pittsburgh for a Black Voters for Harris occasion – versus the ‘white dudes‘ they had been courting over the summer time – and tore into “brothers” for not backing his chosen candidate.
“We’ve not but seen the identical sorts of vitality and turnout in all quarters in our neighborhoods and communities as we noticed after I was operating,” Obama admitted.
“Now, I additionally need to say that appears to be extra pronounced with the brothers. So in the event you don’t thoughts, only for a second, I’m going to talk to y’all for a minute.”
That’s when Professor Obama lectured black voters and steered their lack of pleasure for Harris was motivated by sexism.
Barack Obama: Black Voters Who Don’t Bend The Knee To Kamala Are Sexist
Lecturing your individual voters and claiming their lack of assist for Kamala Harris is misogynistic, whereas concurrently turning it right into a race-driven argument, is an attention-grabbing tactic.
Obama principally simply informed the “brothers” that in the event that they don’t vote for Harris, ‘you ain’t black.’
After which issues obtained worse.
“You’re developing with every kind of causes and excuses (to not vote for Harris), I’ve obtained an issue with that,” stated Obama.
“As a result of a part of it makes me suppose – and I’m talking to males straight – a part of it makes me suppose that, properly, you simply aren’t feeling the thought of getting a lady as president, and also you’re developing with different options and different causes for that.”
Catch that? Have an issue with the rubbish financial system? That’s simply an excuse to not vote for a lady!
Low Power For Kamala
The takeaway right here isn’t that Barack Obama would stoop to race and sex-baiting in an effort to inspire black males to get behind Kamala Harris. No, that’s been the playbook for eons.
The takeaway right here is the desperation. Take a look at the somber tone Obama is taking whereas speaking down to those males. It’s clear Democrats are seeing hassle within the inside polls concerning assist from the black group.
Kamala, you see, has no road cred and Barack Obama is aware of it. She struggles immensely in attempting to attach with minority communities. A wealthy historical past of attempting to prosecute dad and mom in low-income minority households for his or her children’ faculty attendance doesn’t assist.
Harris, in a single resurfaced video clip, may be heard describing how she tried intimidating a single homeless mom of three children. The Democrat may be seen laughing about sending her workplace’s murder and gang prosecutors to high school to fulfill with the struggling girl.
“While you go over there, look actually imply,” she recalled.
One other sticking level for minority voters has been Harris’s historical past of increasing convictions of marijuana customers in California.
As California lawyer common, Harris oversaw hundreds of marijuana-related convictions. Critics argue that these convictions disproportionately affected black and brown communities and that Harris’s workplace fought in opposition to efforts to cut back sentences or expunge information.
Oh, to not point out that previous cussed financial system. Much less cash in your pocket impacts everyone, no matter pores and skin shade.
This isn’t the primary time Obama has criticized minorities for not toeing the road.
The famously un-macho former President has stated black males are “vulnerable” to Donald Trump’s “macho fashion” due to a historical past within the hip-hop group “rapping about bling and depicting ladies in a sure means.”
He additionally took a shot at Hispanic voters who facet with Trump on points like conventional marriage and abortion.
“Individuals had been shocked about lots of Hispanic of us who voted for Trump,” Obama noticed after the 2020 election.
“However there are lots of evangelical Hispanics who, you understand — the truth that Trump says racist issues about Mexicans or places detainees, you understand, undocumented staff in cages, they suppose that’s much less vital than the truth that you understand he helps their views on, you understand, homosexual marriage or abortion.”
Insulting voters is actually an attention-grabbing tactic. Little doubt people who find themselves simply bored with being poor and operating out of cash because of the Biden-Harris financial system are going to reply favorably to the insults.
