Kamala Harris’s self-destruction tour continues on, with its latest stop taking place Tuesday at an audio-only “town hall” with radio host Charlamagne tha God. The town hall was part of her efforts to reach out to black men, or, as RedState’s Jeff Charles called it, the Democrats “roll[ing] out a series of promises they have no intention of fulfilling in an effort to keep Black Americans firmly in their camp.”
More from Jeff on Kamala’s attempt to woo the black male vote:
Harris’ plan includes provisions aimed at addressing systemic inequalities, economic empowerment, criminal justice reform, and improving access to healthcare. The proposal is supposedly designed to decrease disparities in incarceration rates, improve educational opportunities, and support Black small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Folks immediately noticed that the details of her plan were strange indeed. Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld had this to say: “Kamala’s proposal to entice black men includes forgivable loans and the legalization of weed…She’s essentially bribing them…Free money, free weed — that’s kind of racist.”
Pandering is one of the very few things Kamala Harris is good at, and that was on full display during the event with Charlamagne. There are many cringeworthy clips emerging of the chaotic event, but one interchange stood out. When asked about reparations, Kamala said there “was no question” that “it has to be studied.” We call that a heaping serving of “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” with a pinch of deflection.

The question posed to her by “Z” is long and rambling, but it’s important for context.
My question to you is: What’s your stance on reparations? We all know that America became great, you know, off the backs of free black labor. How progressive are you on making it a priority on righting America’s wrongs?
It is understood that you are running for president for all people of America. Asking for specifics for black communities doesn’t mean “don’t do for others” but black Americans are heavily asked to vote Democrat every election for over half a century with very little in return. What are your plans to address these very important issues and change that narrative?
Instead of putting “Z” in his place for such a ludicrous freebie-grab in return for his vote, Kamala went full-throttle pander-meister:
So, to your point, um, yes, I am running to be a president of all Americans. That being said, I do have clear eyes about the disparities that exist and the context in which they exist. Meaning, history. To your point. First of all, on the point of reparations, it has to be studied. There’s no question about that. And I’ve been very clear about that position.
With answers like that, it’s no wonder folks are commenting, “This is by far the worst interview of this campaign season and that’s really really saying something…”
For a bit more context, Black Entertainment Television (BET) once game-planned a reparations package that would cost taxpayers, none of whom actually owned slaves, $14 TRILLION, or $350,000 to every African American.

She’s had almost four years to work on such a package, but even she knows it’s a non-starter.
Things actually got much worse as the town hall progressed, especially when Kamala seemed to agree with a questioner that Donald Trump would put non-whites into “camps.”
A caller during Charlamagne tha God’s town-hall worries that Trump will put “anyone who doesn’t look white into camps.”
Harris replies, “you’ve hit on a really important point and expressed it I think so well, which is he is achieving his intended effect–to make you scared.”

The correct answer here, of course, is that Trump was president for four years and nary a work camp popped up in all that time, a pretty good indication that the idea is stupid on its face.
Some other lowlights include Kamala promising to pass the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act” and hinting she would weaponize law enforcement against her political enemies.
The George Floyd policing bill fell apart because it went too far and would’ve hindered law enforcement’s ability to reduce crime.
Interesting Kamala is touting it even as she’s tried to pretend she was a “tough on crime prosecutor” and not a soft-on-crime radical. https://t.co/1tHKZvDuG1

Mercifully, the town hall was cut short when the audio cut off abruptly.

It’s another stinker for Kamala Harris, and there promises to be much more. Watch this space.
