On Thursday night, Donald Trump accepted his party’s nomination for re-election from the South Lawn of The White House — complete with a maskless and non-socially distanced crowd of 1500 people. However, on Thursday afternoon, a fiery Kamala Harris speech trumped Donald Trump.

In what was billed as a “prebuttal” to Trump’s acceptance speech but was much more of a very needed response to the many lies and outright alternate universe Trump and the Republicans presented during their convention this week, the Kamala Harris speech first took aim at all the convention deceit.
“The Republican convention is designed for one purpose: To soothe Donald Trump’s ego; to make him feel good,” Harris said. “But here’s the thing: He’s the president of the United States, and it’s not supposed to be about him. It’s supposed to be about the health and the safety and the well-being of the American people.
“And on that measure,” she added, “Donald Trump has failed.”
Next, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee thrashed Trump regarding the social injustice and unrest currently taking place in Wisconsin.
“Jacob Blake shot seven times in the back,” she said. “As Vice President Biden put it, the shots fired at Mr. Blake pierced the soul of our nation. It’s sickening to watch.”

We won’t show you any of that nonsense. Instead, take a look at a clip of the Kamala Harris speech below. You can see the full speech by clicking HERE.

He claimed that Democrats view this country as a “depraved” and “wicked” country that must be punished for its “sins.”In accepting the Republican nomination, Trump turned his back on the crowd and surveyed the executive mansion, stretching out his arms in a gesture that exemplified his vision of ultimate, unaccountable presidential power. “The fact is, we’re here… Read more »
