They thought that the country, because of their hatred of Donald Trump, and then especially the George Floyd riots, and then the election of Joe Biden, they thought that this was a new frontier and that Joe Biden, we were into a revolutionary period. And Biden was this useful wax and effigy for all of these Obama people. And they were going to have this radical agenda.
And these people at MSNBC and to a lesser extent, CNN, were going to ride this wave and and propel it. And they could say anything they want. The the. Blinders were off. The muzzles were off. They could say, do anything. And they really did. And they didn't realize the mood of the country, where it was. They were we were in the middle of a counterrevolution because people were sick.
of an open border and the whole transgendered stuff and the crime and the foreign policy in Afghanistan. And the more that they just kept doubling down, the more there were signs there that the lawfare or getting Trump off the ballot or the Mar-a-Lago raid, they were triumphing that, the more that they didn't understand that that was getting people angry.
And so they were doubling down rather than being introspective and saying, oh my gosh, I don't think that we're quite in a hard left revolution that everybody's supporting, and I think we're starting to get resistance. They could have said, let's try to be a little bit more analytical. Instead, they said, we've got to get more angry and more angry and get more angry guests.
And they blew themselves up. And I guess when Capehart says that he thinks that's that Kamala Harris lost because she was black and female, I guess he thinks that Joe Biden was what? I don't know. Was he was he going to to win or lose? Because Joe Biden would have lost as much as I think Kamala Harris. And he was a white male. So I don't know what his point is. It's silly.
Nobody in that party was going to win no matter what color or gender there was, given that the key issues that they were trying to articulate to the American people were pulling about 20 or 30 percent support across the board.
Yeah, I don't think I don't want to advise anybody in the left wing black movement. But if you look at this multiracial democracy that they keep talking about, we have now. People from India, if we call them Asians in the same breath as we do people from China or Japan, they're up to about 15% of the population. We have about 15% of Hispanics. We don't hear from those same groups
that they're going to protest. Sometimes we do, but I think what we're watching is that this is getting very tiring because we're a multiracial society now, and it's not just a white-black binary of the 1960s, and they haven't caught up to that.
And they should look at these other groups because these other groups do have extremists that are demanding these entitlements and set-asides and quotas, but Most of the people are just ignoring it and they're going out in the workplace and they're competing and they're doing very well and parody.
I think there's 16 ethnic groups that are not white that have a higher per capita income than so-called whites, whether it's Arab Americans or whether it's, you know, Taiwanese or Japanese Americans or people from India. And that's the model that the country is moving to. And this idea that the black leadership and a lot of the black average rank and file understand that.
And that's why Donald Trump is picking. You've heard so many black people say, I don't really.
Yes.
Absolutely. And then when she talked about the masculinity of Tim Walton in vitro, he lied about in vitro fertilization. That was a complete he was a complete pathological liar. And then if he's going to be so macho, he lied. He just kept spinning lie after lie after lie about his military background. rank service, conditions about going to Iraq. So he was a pathological.
He was a forced detractor on that ticket. And I'm talking as a white man about another white man. That white male was a he was he took votes away from a black female. He was so mediocre. He could not he could not tell the truth. He was herky jerky. He got on stage. He had this. He just looked like he was insane. He kept waving his arms and screaming and yelling. He was a buffoon.
He did. He did. That's a good picture, because that's exactly what happened to him. And the idea that he was a model of masculinity was a joke. Everything that she says is just not true. And ultimately, a person has to tell the truth, at least as they see the truth. But all these people just...
Get up there and they lie and they don't even believe what they're saying because it's so obviously contrary.
Well, in her defense, the president of the United States would actually read the prompts on the telephone. It was the leftist thing. Period. He actually said things like that. So she's doing a better job than the president did. And that's the lowest bar you can imagine.
Yeah, that goes right to the heart of why people don't, that Democratic Party is failing because anytime things do not go well for them because of their own incompetence or stupidity or they're on the wrong side of the issue, they have a choice whether to be introspective and self-critical and adopt or blame it on sexism and racism. And they always take the latter. They always do.
She was one of the worst press secretaries because every time that They ask her a question that was not just a softball. She was like a deer in the headlights. And she said, I'm going to circle back on that. And they finally called her circle back Saki or whatever. They made fun of her. That's all she said. I'm going to circle back on that. I'll circle back on that. I'll circle back. That's right.
She never had an answer. She was a mediocrity. It's kind of sad because...
