Harris is already throwing this election. If she keeps on, it will be another four years of Trump.
And now Kamala Harris fell flat on her face immediately after entering the race.
Kamala Harris is deploying potential VP pick Pete Buttigieg in a bid to attract “white dude” voters, insisting that “we need to be honest with ourselves and each other about the role we’ve played in our nation’s history.”
Buttigieg, the transportation secretary and one of Harris’ staunchest allies, made a virtual appearance at a Zoom event on Monday evening with the group “White Dudes for Harris.”
“As White Dudes, we know full well how MAGA cynically preys on resentments,” reads an email to a New York Post reporter from the group’s organizer, Ross Morales.
“This moment of crisis is challenging us, but we won’t let fear define who we are and take us — or our country — down a dark path.”
“We’re coming together to create a space of trust where White Dudes can support each other and work to elect Kamala Harris the next President of the United States.”
The group peddles hats and preaches “brotherhood,” aiming to create a “space of honesty” for “white dudes.”
Morales elaborated on the group’s values in his message.
“As White men, we recognize all too clearly the culture of toxic entitlement surrounding Donald Trump,” he wrote.
“We need to be honest with ourselves and each other about the role we’ve played in our nation’s history — good and bad. We’re creating a space of honesty and trust, where we can support each other and work for a new, brighter future.”
The letter also included a link to a “social media kit” with pre-written posts for “white dudes” to recruit others to the cause.
“The best friendships I’ve found with other men are built on mutual respect, trust, and supportive understanding,” one post reads. “Would you trust Donald Trump to respect you, to honor your trust, and support you in brotherhood?”
Buttigieg and Harris, once rivals in the presidential primaries, have now united under Biden’s banner. With Biden, 81, dropping out of the race last week, Harris, 59, has emerged as the presumptive Democratic nominee, with Buttigieg among those rallying to her side.
Buttigieg’s endorsement appears to be making waves.
Morales initially aimed for 10,000 registrations for Monday’s virtual event, but after Buttigieg’s involvement was confirmed, interest skyrocketed.
“Yesterday afternoon, we emailed 8,000 of you so we could ask you to reach out to your friends and see if we could get this little group up to 20,000 before Monday’s call. And you guys absolutely crushed it! We are excited to announce that as of about 10 minutes ago, we are 20,000 strong,” Morales wrote.
“Something unprecedented is happening here, and we are a part of it together.“
The group has not clarified whether non-whites can attend, and a New York Post request for comment was not immediately answered.
Race and nationality are shaping up to be pivotal issues in this election as international conflicts continue, immigration issues simmer, and domestic rhetoric grows increasingly toxic.
