The media is in the back pocket of Kamala Harris. But even they can’t hide the truth.
And now Don Lemon was forced to eat his own words in this embarrassing moment caught on film.
Former CNN host Don Lemon seemed caught off guard when he ventured into deep blue New Jersey, only to find voters expressing strong support for Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
During a recent trip to Atlantic City, Lemon tried to rally support for Vice President Kamala Harris but was met with resistance, as shown in a video he posted on Saturday.
The first person Lemon spoke to made their stance clear, declaring, “Trump for the win,” and dismissing Harris as unfit for the top role. Lemon, grasping at straws, asked if the voter’s opinion had anything to do with Harris being a woman, but the answer was a firm no.
Harris had quickly ascended to lead the Democratic ticket after President Biden bowed out of the race, succumbing to weeks of pressure from within his own party.
But this didn’t seem to sway the voters Lemon encountered. One voter bluntly said, “Four years ago, it was a lot better. I made a lot more money than I do now.”
Lemon, determined to defend the Biden-Harris administration, countered, “I know you feel that way, but that’s not actually what the record shows, the economy was better under Biden.” The voter’s response? Laughter, followed by a pointed question: “Do you watch CNN?”
Another voter told Lemon he thought Harris might win but admitted he was backing Trump because Harris lacks “experience.”
Lemon tried to argue, listing Harris’ roles as vice president and senator, but the voter remained unconvinced.
A woman Lemon interviewed echoed the sentiment, saying she wanted Trump back in office because she preferred someone with a “stronger background with the military.”
Lemon attempted to bolster Harris’ credentials, pointing to her past as a prosecutor, attorney general, senator, and now vice president. Yet, the pushback continued.
One voter even cited Harris’ record on immigration and the border crisis as the reason for supporting Trump.
As the video wrapped up, Lemon could be heard saying, “I’ve got to get out of Atlantic City. Where are we going to next?”
Lemon’s next stop was Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he finally found more voters planning to support Harris.
One woman told him, “It’s about time. We don’t just have a woman represent[ing] the country, but a woman of color. She’s going to be able to represent, I think, a broader group of people than anybody else we’ve ever seen.”
Despite the enthusiasm in Pittsburgh, the Harris campaign’s latest proposal — a “federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries” — is facing criticism.
Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell didn’t mince words when describing the policy, saying that it’s “hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is.”
Rampell added, “If your opponent claims you’re a ‘communist,’ maybe don’t start with an economic agenda that can (accurately) be labeled as federal price controls. We already have plenty of economic gibberish coming from the Republican presidential ticket. Do we really need more from the other side, too?”
