Harris Pivots to Unity in Closing Argument
after Pushing ‘Threat-to-Democracy’
Charge Throughout Campaign
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/29/2024 9:18:36 PM
Vice President Kamala Harris pivoted to a message of unity in her closing argument to the nation on Tuesday night, after having spent the last weeks of her campaign insisting that her opponent is a fascist whose election poses an existential threat to the future of the nation. Addressing a crowd of supporters from the Ellipse in downtown Washington, D.C. — the same spot where Trump, on January 6, 2021, infamously urged his followers to march on the Capitol — Harris cited the Capitol riot as the primary example of her opponent’s unfitness for office. “Look, we know who Donald Trump is.

You probably knew it was coming.
President Donald Trump -- the master of trolling -- would have a good response to Joe Biden calling Trump supporters "garbage." Indeed, he did, sitting in a garbage truck on Wednesday, calling out Biden for insulting millions of Americans and having a lot of fun in the process.
He already showed he has a talent for this with his McDonald's success. That was about serving the people.
This time it's about cleaning up Washington. What a great symbolic move it is. How great was it? CNN even had to cut away to cover it, rather than talking about Kamala Harris.
Priority One: Election Integrity - RNC

Wednesday afternoon, I participated in an "election integrity call" hosted by the RNC and the Trump campaign. Karoline Leavitt, National Press Secretary for the Trump campaign, spoke first. She explained that they were hosting the call to discuss massive victories in both Pennsylvania and Virginia today.
They also wanted to describe the ongoing fight by the RNC and the campaign to ensure free and fair elections. Leavitt referenced the Trump supporter who was arrested in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, on Monday and the voters turned away in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday. She also noted that they had just won the Bucks County suit 30
The Donald Trump Campaign and the Pennsylvania GOP won a huge victory today in their efforts to force the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, government to permit voters to request mail-in ballots in person.
The campaign filed a lawsuit on Wednesday, documenting how county officials broke state law and turned away voters hours before the deadline (see Trump Campaign Suing Over Voter Suppression in Major Swing State). This was after video surfaced of a police officer and skeevy individuals, some later identified as local Democrat activists, wearing "Voter Protection" badges but with no visible identification credentials shutting down the line at 1:45 p.m.
The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the 2024 World Series on Wednesday with a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees in the Bronx, finishing off a impressive display in the matchup between the two biggest-market and star-laden teams in baseball. The 4-games-to-1 victory in the best-of-seven series is the Dodgers franchise’s eighth World Series title, the second in five years and the first since the pandemic-impacted 2020 season. The Dodgers before that hadn’t won Major League Baseball’s Fall Classic since 1988 and before that 1981, when they beat the Yankees. The Dodgers did it in dramatic fashion tonight, coming back from a 5-0 deficit after three innings against
Joe Biden narrowly won Nevada in 2020 by just over 30,000 votes. The state has strong union support for Democrats but anyone expecting a clear Harris victory there this year might be in for a surprise. Hometown reporter Jon Ralston estimates that about 60% of the vote in the state is already in and so far Republicans have a big advantage.
We are at 790,000 ballots recorded, or 39 percent of registered voters. So I’d guess about 60 percent of the vote is in, maybe a little less. We are going to get at least 75 percent of the vote in before Election Day and maybe as much as 90 percent
A pro-Trump internet ad now running in the swing states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Wisconsin focuses on Macalester College professor Brian Lozenski, the Tim Walz education appointee who calls for the overthrow of the United States.
The ad plays video of Lozenski describing the United States as “irreversibly racist” and calling for America’s overthrow. It finishes by noting that Walz’s education expertise was one of the reasons Harris selected him as her running mate. The ad was paid for by Restoration PAC.
I broke the story of Lozenski’s call for the overthrow of the U.S. here at National Review Online about a month ago.
On the 29th of July, a 17-year-old 'boy' armed with a machete slaughtered three young girls who had gathered, with fellow 6-to-11-year-olds, for a girlie afternoon of Taylor Swift-themed yoga, dance, and drawing.
In the aftermath, the carnage count included, besides their precious little lives, eight other children and two adults who'd been horribly injured during the attack.
Police were tight-lipped on the assailant, citing his age. But locals had a suspicion and started demanding answers as the shock wore off and outraged horror replaced it.
Starmer immediately made appropriate vanilla 'thoughts and prayers' noises but both the government and Mercyside Police
Well, well, well. Perhaps the Protection Racket Media has had enough of Joe Biden, too. Or at least enough of kowtowing to a clearly inept White House.
On the other hand, Tony Dokoupil has a track record of getting in trouble for asking fact-based questions. Will this land Dokoupil into another progressive struggle session at CBS News? It's too late for Tim Walz, who had to do the first shift of Biden cleanup this morning.
Trump's campaign gleefully clipped the very first question out of the gate from Dokoupil:
The Justice Department is disputing the notion that the audio from President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur is the subject of significant public interest.
In a court filing Monday, the Justice Department argued against expediting the release of audio recordings of Hur’s interview with Biden. Hur conducted a two-day long interview with the president last October for his investigation into whether Biden mishandled classified documents.
“The motion to expedite should also be denied because it is based on an inaccurate premise: that expedition is warranted because of the public’s interest in President Biden’s conduct during a law enforcement interview,”

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Donald Trump’s campaign filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania on Wednesday in hopes of briefly extending an in-person voting option in one suburban Philadelphia county where long lines on the final day spurred complaints that voters were being disenfranchised by an unprepared election office.
The lawsuit, filed in the heavily populated Bucks County, comes amid a flurry of litigation and complaints over voting in a battleground state that is expected to play a central role in helping select the next president in 2024’s election.
The lawsuit seeks a one-day extension, through Wednesday at 5 p.m., for voters to apply in-person for a mail-in ballot.
There is an old axiom of life - Never whiz into the wind. Things gets kind of messy when you do. In radio, that's especially true. It's possible on occasion to create an alternative narrative on a day when there's only one overarching, dominating story. But honestly, it rarely works. And if you aren't talking about the things your audience is focused on, they tune you out.
Last night on the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., the left-wing of the cross making up the National Mall, with the White House as the backdrop behind her, Vice-President Kamala Harris made her last stand. It was her closing argument. Her final pitch
Well ... that was certainly an honest closing argument last night, at least from Joe Biden. No pussyfooting around here. As his VP tried to offer her own closing argument by [checks notes] regurgitating her oft-delivered attacks on Donald Trump, the President of the United States made sure everyone knows how he feels about half the country, as John reported last night.
Somehow, "basket of deplorables" sounds almost quaint in comparison, no? NBC's White House correspondent heard it accurately and reported it first: Well, well, well. Democrats considered it a National Outrage and a High Crime to have an insult comic call an island "garbage."

Days before President Joe Biden called the tens of millions of Americans who support former President Donald Trump “garbage,” Hollywood actor Robert De Niro called Trump “a piece of s***” while speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania for Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.
“It makes me so f****ng angry that we’re here talking about a piece of s*** like Donald Trump,” De Niro said, eliciting cheers from the audience. (X Video) As Breitbart News reported, De Niro joined fellow actor Leonardo Di Caprio, along with several other celebrity elites, in an attempt to boost Harris in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania on Saturday.
President Trump called on a crowd of supporters to "forgive" President Biden after he compared the former president's supporters to garbage.
"Wow. That's terrible," Trump said, invoking Hillary Clinton’s infamous "deplorable" remarks in the weeks before the 2016 election. "And then she said irredeemable. That didn't work out."
The Republican nominee called on his supporters to forgive him during a packed rally at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "Garbage, I think, is worse," he said. "But he doesn't know. You have to please forgive him."
Arnold Schwarzenegger has made a rare presidential endorsement just six days before the 2024 election.
The former Republican Governor of California - who refused to vote for Donald Trump in 2016 - announced that he will be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
In the shocking endorsement, the actor wrote: 'I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.'
Despite that, the Terminator star, 77, said that it's time for the country 'to move forward', and that 'the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz'.
ABC has sparked wild conspiracy theories after mistakenly airing election results for Pennsylvania.
The results appeared on the ticker along the bottom of the screen during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV on Sunday.
It showed Kamala Harris taking the state with 52 percent of the votes, while Donald Trump's share was 47 percent.
It instantly prompted claims of election rigging on social media, with one person tweeting: 'The cheat is on.'
WNEP-TV said that the numbers came up on the screen in 'error' and that they had been 'randomly generated' as part of a test ahead of election night on November 5.
The White House and its media allies ran a coverup for President Biden after he maligned former President Donald Trump’s supporters as “garbage” — going so far as to edit an official transcript of his remarks, to the outrage of conservatives and other critics who called out “flat out lying” by Democrats and their allies.
Democrats went into damage-control mode Tuesday night due to the president’s trash talk, claiming that Biden hadn’t intended to demonize his party’s political opponents just seven days before voters head to the polls.
“The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage,’” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement.

I was invited by my New York congresswoman, Nicole Malliotakis, to attend the Madison Square Garden Trump rally, but I politely declined because I loathe crowds.
I did, however, watch the rally online when supposed MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe said:
“There’s a lot going on. There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
He also made a bunch of disparaging remarks about Latinos and implied that illegals are coming here making lots of babies. Hmmm, I guess I am supposed to be so offended that I will not vote for Trump or any Republican running for office.
A shocking scene reportedly unfolded at a satellite election office in South Park Ice Rink in Bethel Park, PA, where early voters, who had been waiting for hours, witnessed ‘vanloads’ of ‘non-English-speaking citizens’ allegedly escorted to the front by “translators” to cast their ballots.
According to X user Emma Cawwod, at least “three buses” arrived, with individuals being guided in by representatives from “Vote Today PA,” a vote mobilization group funded by the progressive organization Working Families Power, which advocates for causes like “economic fairness, racial justice, gender equity, climate sustainability.”
Some of these individuals were seen wearing hooded sweatshirts with “Vote Today PA” printed on them.
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Virginia is entitled to remove noncitizen aliens from its voter rolls, siding with the commonwealth over lower courts less than a week out from the election.
The order comes two days after Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares filed an emergency application, requesting that the Court stay an injunction that ordered Virginia to restore some 1,600 suspected noncitizens who are ineligible to vote to the state’s voter rolls. A federal appeals court upheld the injunction on Sunday, quickly prompting the attorney general to appeal to the Supreme Court.

Joe Biden might just have formally ended Kamala Harris' campaign on Tuesday night.
The Democrats were trying to go all in attacking the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, demonizing it as a "Nazi rally" and criticizing what a comedian said there about Puerto Rico. But then Biden blew all that away in his criticism by calling Trump supporters "garbage," as we reported earlier.
Politico then tried to spin what he actually said but was caught because video was released showing what he actually said.

The venerable Washington Post may or may not have been a force for good, but it certainly was great.
They brought down Richard Nixon for crimes that were only modest by today’s inflated standards but serious at the time. They helped lose the Vietnam War – a war that was criminal, or just, depending on your view of history, but the losing of which was certainly a tragedy for the conquered South Vietnamese and most of the rest of the world.
They won the Pulitzer Prize 76 times, and many of those times were back when the Prize rewarded true excellence.
In the final week of this 'dead heat' presidential election, I am reminded of Ronald Reagan's landslide 1980 victory. Then as now, President Jimmy Carter was polling neck-and-neck with his Republican challenger. A Gallup poll showed Carter up one percentage point nationally in late October. Only four days before the vote, a CBS News/New York Times survey showed the race to be just as close. Then the bottom dropped out of Carter's campaign - and Reagan won by nearly 10 points in the popular vote, and a staggering 489 to 49 in the Electoral College. I was a young campaign
The U.S. Capitol Police, in coordination with federal agencies, conducted a “Casualty Evacuation Exercise” Monday night, just over a week before Election Day.
In a public notice, the U.S. Capitol Police stated, “EXERCISE: This evening, the United States Capitol Police & our federal partners are conducting a routine training exercise on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. Please do not be alarmed if you see emergency vehicles and low flying helicopters.” (X) This exercise took place one week after the Capitol Police conducted a campus-wide evacuation drill.
“EXERCISE: This morning, at approximately 10:00 am, we will have a campus-wide evacuation exercise. The routine drill is in coordination with our Legislative Branch partners.
