Joe weekend. Here are some of the big conversations from the past fewo days that we wanted to highlight. Donald tetrump thought the Appearance Yesterday at a conference of like journalist. The former president was w combative with the moderators during his 34 minutes on stage. He questions whether Vice President , Kamala Harris, is black and if she passed the Bar Exam, which she did is a former prosecutor. Mr. President i would love you to answer i think it is a very nasty question, i have answered your question. I have been the best president for the black population, since abraham lincoln. Better than president johnson, who signed the voting Rights Act . Some of your own supporters, including republicans on Capitol Hill have labeled Vice President , Kamala Harris, was the first like an Asian American woman to be Vice V President on a ticket as an dei higher and would you tell those republicans and supporters to stop it. How do you define dei dei. Diversity Equity And Inclusion . With
Animal and rapid to describe black District Attorneys. You attack black journalists, calling them a loser. Saying the questions they ask are, quote, stupid and racist. Youve had dinner with a white supremacist at your maralago resort. So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that . First of all, i dont think ive ever been asked the question so in such a horrible manner, first question. You dont even say hello, how are you . Are you with abc . Because i think they are a fake news network, a terrible network. And it only went downhill from there. That was part of Donald Trumps contentious Interview Yesterday at a conference for the National Association Of Black Journalists, where trump questioned whether Vice President Kamala Harris is black. Well show you that moment and the defiant response from the Trump Campaign to the widespread Criticism And Outrage about the former President S
Its 4 00 in the east with a marvelous and organic thing, were talking about enthusiasm. Especially in politics. Desperately tricky to generate, impossible to manufacture, but altogether vital for anyone with serious hopes for higher office. For that reason, recognize what Vice President Kamala Harris has been able to accomplish in less than one week. From a low drum to a steady drumbeat to what were seeing play out this afternoon, a Crescendo Rumbling across every corner of American Political, civic and cultural life. The culmination of that phenomenon today, the Crown Jewel of endorsements for any democrat, President Barack Obama officially endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president. In addition to a statement that suggests he and Michelle Obama will do, quote, everything we think to elect Kamala Harris the next president of the united states, the Harris Campaign released a video of the very moment it happened. Watch. Cam mall la. Hello. Hi. Hey there. Youre both together. I
Done a bunch of terrible things that never turn out to be true upon closer inspection. Theyre obviously telling lies, but the problem is people believe those lies. Their base of voters believes the lies, and weve seen what happens when people believe scary, awful lies come ing from republicans. A Trump Mob stormed the capitol to stop the democratic process because the mob believed the republican president and his enablers in congress when they said the election was stolen.

This one to show support for the more than 600 insurrectionists who have been arrested for attacking the government on January The 6th.
