Kamala Harris apparently forgot that “hope” is both a noun and a verb during an interview with disgraced ex-CNN host Don Lemon last week, where she declared that the word “should be a verb.”
Asked what her “case for hope” is, Harris began blabbering like a drunk. “You know, I believe that when we feel powerless, we are powerless, and when we feel powerful, we are powerful, and I believe we’re powerful,” she said.
“And, I believe, you know, Don, I really truly believe this: We each have, have light inside of us, and we need to know that that is what inspires our hope as much as anything external to ourselves, and when we feel that and, and, and not allow an election or an individual to dampen that light, and instead light— let that light kind of carry us, in particular, through moments of darkness, that that we not only act on that hope but we inspire that hope in each other,” she incoherently added.
Then she dropped this gem: “In particular, at this moment, it is so important that we not only have hope, but that we understand that that should be a verb, which means that hope has to go hand-in-hand with action.”
“And that action includes the overcoming the obstacles they’re trying to throw in front of us, in terms of access to the ballot, that, that hope combined with the action will result in us winning the midterms. That hope combined with action will allow us to celebrate Juneteenth in all of the traditions that involve good food and dance and laughter and family and community, and that we will also understand that that hope is consistent with a commitment to the fight, the fight for equality and for freedom and for justice.”
It sounded like a high school class president’s speech. Thank God she is not the President of the United States.
