Brian Stelter: Image of Kamala Harris as ‘Hope and Change’ is More Important Than Anything She Actually Says

The potato has returned. Brian Stelter is back on the air at CNN and it’s almost like he never left.

During a recent segment on Kamala Harris, Stelter suggested that the image of Harris as the young ‘hope and change’ candidate is more important than anything she actually says about what she would do as president.

He also cheered for the image of Harris speaking at rallies. Has anyone told Brian that the campaign has to bus people in for these events?

Breitbart News reports:

CNN’s Stelter: Harris Is the ‘Change’ and ‘Images Are More Important’ than What ‘She’s Saying Right Now’

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” CNN Chief Media Analyst Brian Stelter declared that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris “is the hope and change and youthful energy in this race.” And said that “the images are more important than anything she’s saying right now. When she keeps filling these rallies, that’s probably more important than what she says out loud at the rallies.”

While discussing Harris saying that she isn’t Joe Biden during a local media interview that she did earlier that day, host Kaitlan Collins asked, “Brian, what do you — what’s your sense of watching it, as someone who’s an observer?”

Kamala Says Quiet Part Out Loud: Government ‘Oversight’ Needed to Police the Internet and Rein in Thought Crimes

The global crackdown on free speech continues unabated, and if you think it’s relegated to countries like China, Cuba, and North Korea, think again.

A Brazilian Supreme Court panel on Monday upheld a decision to suspend Elon Musk’s social media platform X in the country.

Last Friday, Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the platform blocked.

Since the decision, Musk and his supporters have tried to paint de Moraes as a renegade and an authoritarian censor of political speech. But Brazil is no outlier. The European Union is also cracking down on free speech with its Online Service Act, and we have our own free-speech haters here in the United States.

In fact, one of them is a candidate for president.

Kamala Harris came out in 2019 and admitted in the wide open that she wants to see the same type of state-sponsored censorship implemented in the United States as what we now see taking shape in Brazil.

The government, Harris believes, should have ultimate control over what you and I are allowed to post on the internet, as well as more control over what we are allowed to see and hear. She doesn’t trust us to decide for ourselves as to the truth or accuracy of what we see or read online.

After Saying She and Walz Won’t Take Anyone’s Guns Away in Debate, Kamala Harris Pushes ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Three Days Later

Just four days ago, Kamala Harris stood on a debate stage and claimed that she and Tim Walz both own guns and that no one is coming to take anyone’s guns away.

Here’s exactly what she said.

From CBS News:

Vice President Kamala Harris surprised many when she revealed Tuesday night that she is a gun owner as she rebuffed former President Trump’s claim during the presidential debate that her administration would confiscate Americans’ firearms.

“This business about taking everyone’s guns away, Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,” Harris said during the debate hosted by ABC News. “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away.”

Now, in her first solo interview, she is pushing for an ‘assault weapons’ ban.

This interview was aired on Friday, three days after the debate.

Company says Kamala Harris’ debate earrings strikingly similar to its Bluetooth device, offers to make ones for Trump

A tech company has added fuel to the Kamala Harris earrings conspiracy theory after quipping that her debate night jewelry is strikingly similar to the Bluetooth devices it makes — and has even offered to design “orange” ones for Donald Trump.

Claims that Harris, 59, was fitted with clip-on audio headphones disguised as pearl earrings for her showdown against the former president, 78, have been spreading like wildfire on social media in the wake of Tuesday’s presidential debate.

Now, Germany-based company Icebach Sound Solutions has weighed in on the viral saga after conspiracy-minded Trump supporters claimed the vice president was wearing a pair of its Bluetooth devices — the Nova H1 Audio Earring.

“We do not know whether Mrs. Harris wore one of our products. The resemblance is striking and while our product was not specifically developed for the use at presidential debates, it is nonetheless suited for it,” Icebach’s managing director, Malte Iversen, said in a tongue-in-cheek statement to tech outlet Tom’s Guide.

“To ensure a level playing field for both candidates, we are currently developing a male version and will soon be able to offer it to the Trump campaign. The choice of color is a bit challenging though as orange does not go well with a lot of colors.”

Kamala Harris Accused Of BUSSING IN Thousands Of People For Charlotte Rally

Kamala Harris has been accused of bussing in people by the thousands to fill seats at a rally, this time in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday.

There were buses as far as the eye could see outside the Bojangles Coliseum.

There is a debate over whether these buses brought people from outside the city, or if they were merely shuttle buses ferrying people from the city centre to the venue, a distance of around 4 miles.

FLASHBACK: Kamala Harris vows to use DOJ to ARREST people exercising FREE SPEECH

Daily Mail political reporter Charlie Spiering has unearthed a speech of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, vowing to have the Department of Justice(DOJ) move against “misinformation” and “hate” on social media platforms.

During a 2019 speech at the NAACP Fight for Freedom Dinner in Detroit, Michigan, Harris promised that, if given the power, she would hold social media companies responsible for spreading what she termed “misinformation” using the DOJ as a key tool.

The resurfacing of the said video on X, formerly Twitter, came amid a growing number of free speech advocates raising the alarm over what the vice president would do to censor social media platforms if she wins the election.

“We will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy,” Harris said, emphasizing the DOJ’s role in enforcing accountability. “We’ll put the Department of Justice of the United States back in the business of justice. We will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy.”

She told technocrats that she would double the Civil Rights Division and direct law enforcement to address the spread of extremist ideologies and misinformation. “If you profit off of hate, if you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don’t police your platforms we are going to hold you accountable as a community,” Harris added.

Claim: ABC Whistleblower To Release Proof Kamala Had Debate Questions BEFOREHAND

It is being claimed that an insider at ABC News is going to come forward with proof that Kamala Harris was provided Tuesday’s debate questions ahead of time, allowing her team a distinct advantage in preparing to go head to head with Donald Trump.

The whistleblower will reportedly release a signed affidavit via a lawyer with details of how the Harris team got hold of the questions before the debate and details of communications between her team and ABC News.

Throughout the debate and afterwards many people suggested Harris knew what the questions were going to be judging from the way she reacted to them compared to when she had to answer off the cuff.

Former Clinton Adviser Calls For Investigation Into Whether ABC News Rigged the Debate

A former top adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton says ABC News should hire an external law firm to conduct an internal investigation into whether the network was involved in “rigging the outcome” of the presidential debate.

The demand was made by political strategist and pollster Mark Penn, who was a chief strategist for Hillary Clinton during her 2008 presidential campaign.

“I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm. I don’t know how much of this was planned in advance,” Penn told the John Solomon Reports podcast.

“I don’t know what they told the Harris campaign. I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate. I think the situation demands nothing less than that,” he added.

FINALLY: Kamala Harris releases policy platform on her official campaign website… and it’s as bad as you might expect

Vice President Kamala Harris has finally released a policy platform on her official campaign website.

The policy platform, titled “New Way Forward,” seeks to align her campaign more closely with the mainstream political views while addressing key issues that have defined her tenure and political identity. (Related: Kamala Harris working with Tim Walz to create federal Department of GROCERIES – food price controls and empty shelves won’t be far behind.)

In a section labeled “safeguard[ing] our fundamental freedoms,” Harris declared her opposition to a national abortion ban, pledging to sign any bill that restores reproductive freedom nationwide.

She also disclosed her commitment to pushing for the passage of the “Equality Act,” a controversial measure that mandates legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals across various sectors, including business, education and public spaces. The act would also require employers and educators to use the preferred pronouns of every person, allow transgender athletes to compete in sports based on their gender identity and obligate health care providers to offer so-called “gender-affirming” care, even for minors.

Harris’ platform also endorses the “John Lewis Voting Rights Act” and the “Freedom to Vote Act,” which seeks to strengthen voting rights protections, expand vote-by-mail options and increase early voting opportunities.

The Democratic presidential nominee also proposes a range of economic measures under the theme of creating an “opportunity economy.” These include expanding child tax credits, increasing government spending on affordable housing, providing direct payments to first-time homebuyers and taking legal action against corporations for price gouging. She also calls for supporting the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), strengthening Social Security and Medicare through higher taxes on the wealthy and investing in infrastructure, education, child care and clean energy.

Moreover, the Harris campaign agenda outlines plans to “ensure safety and justice for all,” advocating for stronger gun control measures, immigration reform through a “bipartisan” border security bill and the elimination of presidential immunity. The platform also supports “common-sense Supreme Court reforms,” including imposing term limits on justices and requiring them to adhere to ethics rules that govern other federal judges.

On foreign policy, Harris promises to maintain the strength and security of America by standing firm against dictators, pursuing peace efforts in conflict zones such as Gaza and investing in future-facing industries like semiconductors, so-called “clean” renewable energy and artificial intelligence.

Did Someone Leak the Debate Questions to Kamala Harris?

It’s a fair question. Why? Because it’s happened before. It’s not some tin foil hat, pie-in-the-sky conspiracy theory: Democrats hired by major news networks have fed debate questions to their party’s presidential nominees. While many analyses and polls are being discussed about the ABC News debate on Tuesday, what about the possibility that Harris got the questions in advance?

To tee this up, let’s not forget that Donna Brazile gave the Clinton campaign the questions before the CNN debate: 

Former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile acknowledged sending town hall topics to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, calling it a “mistake I will forever regret.” 

Brazile wrote in an essay for Time magazine that she shared potential topics for a CNN town hall with the Clinton campaign in her role as a Democratic operative and the DNC vice chair. 

“My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good, and I worked closely with both campaigns to make that happen,” she wrote. “But sending those emails was a mistake I will forever regret.”

WikiLeaks posted emails from Brazile to the Clinton campaign that tipped it off that a woman from Flint, Michigan, would ask Clinton about the situation there for a town hall. Brazile also told the campaign that Clinton would be asked about the death penalty at a separate town hall. 

CNN dropped Brazile as a contributor after the revelations. When the email alerting the Clinton campaign about the death penalty question was released, Brazile suggested the documents were “misinformation.”
