BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris knocks it out of the park with a showstopping speech in North Carolina slamming Donald Trump and his creepy VP pick J.D. Vance.
This woman is a born leader...
Harris ripped into Vance's deranged speech at the RNC, during which he touted his rural upbringing in Ohio.
"It’s a compelling story. And, it was not the full story," said Harris. "Frankly, what is very telling is what he did not talk about on that stage. He did not talk about Project 2025, their 900-page blueprint for a second Trump term. He did not talk about it because their plans are extreme and they are divisive."
"In recent days they've been trying to portray themselves as the party of unity but here's the thing, here's the thing!" said Harris. "If you claim to stand for unity you need to do more than just use the word."
Harris also expertly broke down the immense differences between the Trump and Biden administrations, highlighting all of the ways in which Democrats have helped average Americans.
"Whereas the last administration gave tax cuts to billionaires, we gave tax cuts to families through the Child Tax Credit, which cut child poverty in half," said Harris to a round of applause.
"And please do note, their Project 2025 agenda would even end Head Start to take away preschool from hundreds of thousands of our children," she added.
Harris correctly identified 2024 as the "most existential, consequential and important election of our lifetime." She could not be more right.
During a particularly potent section of her speech, Vice President Harris exposed the war that Trump intends to wage on senior citizens—
"Last night we heard claims that Donald Trump is for fighting for our seniors," said Harris. "Well how the heck can you claim you fight for seniors when you intend to cut Social Security and Medicare?"
"Which we all know is a lifeline for so many of our seniors," she continued. "Let me be very clear: President Joe Biden and I will always protect Social Security and we will always protect Medicare."
She paused as the crowd roared and clapped in approval.
"All while we continue to fight to lower the cost of prescription drug for our seniors," she went on. "It is President Biden and I that took on Big Pharma and finally capped the cost of insulin for our seniors at $35 a month. Who here has a family member with diabetes to know what that means? Right!"
"But Donald Trump and his running mate intend to get rid of our $35 cap on insulin," she explained. "They will side with Big Pharma and let them make prescription drugs more expensive."
"Not only that, on the issue of healthcare they intend to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. Donald Trump and his allies tried more than sixty times to end the Affordable Care Act. Sixty Times! To give insurance companies back the power to deny people with preexisting conditions," said Harris.
"Y'all remember what that was like?" she continued. Children with asthma? Women who had survived breast cancer? Grandparents with diabetes? President Biden and I, on the other hand, have made the Affordable Care Act more strong."
It was an incredible speech from an incredible public servant. Americans are lucky to have Kamala Harris fighting for us.
Together we are going to defeat Trump and his MAGA fascism this November.
