Day Three of the Democratic Convention wasn’t quite as bad as Days One and Two.
Still, highlights abounded. Television star Oprah Winfrey mumbled something about a “childless cat lady”; Bill Clinton, strangely, bragged about being younger than Donald Trump”; and CNN’s Dana Bash admitted that vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz and Douglas Emhoff, presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ emasculated husband, will appeal to low-testosterone men.
And in a show-stopping performance of less than three minutes, a conservative posed as an idiotically extremist White Dude for Harris and bamboozled the BBC.
“Leaders Do the Work”
As it did the first two days, the Vigilant Fox X feed pulled together 10 vignettes for its 1.1 million followers.
The thread opened with Winfrey’s bizarre, unintelligible remark about a “childless cat lady,” upon which CNN panned its camera to an obese woman who might well have been a childless cat lady.
But the import of the moment is that the Democratic Party has apparently embraced the angry, lonely demographic.
But forgetting those feline voters, Walz — like most Democrats completely lacking self-awareness — said that “leaders don’t spend all day insulting people and blaming others. Leaders do the work.”
“So I don’t know about you, I’m ready to turn the page on these guys,” Walz continued:
So go ahead, say it with me, we’re not going back!
Then began the cultish, frenzied chant, as the crowd held up placards with Walz’s fleshy visage.
As The New American reported about Day Two of the gathering, by the end of the night Democrats had mentioned Trump 147 times, and the issues that matter to Americans — the economy, crime, prices, inflation, and the southwest border — just 49 times … combined.
But “leaders don’t spend all day insulting people and blaming others. Leaders do the work.”
Bill Clinton Brags
The Vigilant Fox thread also includes Bill I-Did-Not-Have-Sex-With-That-Woman-Miss-Lewinsky Clinton’s bragging about his 78th birthday on August 19. “And the only personal vanity I want to assert is that I’m still younger than Donald Trump,” Clinton said to the cheering crowd.
Trump was born on June 14, 1946, two months before Clinton.
Clinton was right, but the significance of that datum is a mystery. And if Clinton is “still younger” than Trump, well, he’s still the only president who had sex with a 22-year-old intern in the Oval Office, then lied to the nation about it, then was impeached for the lie. Clinton was 49, by the way.
Speaking about Clinton’s appearance, GOP strategist Scott Jennings told the pro-Harris CNN panel that his father and his father’s blue-collar pals in western Kentucky “loved Bill Clinton.” They were “all Clinton guys.”
Not anymore.
“And now, my Dad, and every single one of them that I know, all Donald Trump guys,” he said:
When I see him come out here tonight, and I think about the audience in this convention, I think the Democrat Party did once have a bunch of people who Bill Clinton would appeal to. I think they’re gone. I think the people who — the labor, the blue-collar labor piece of the Democrat Party that propelled Bill Clinton in the ’90s — has completely and totally migrated over to Donald Trump.
I wonder about the younger audience and how they view somebody like Bill Clinton today because he’s not a blue-collar hero to them. They know a lot of other things about him that frankly make me wonder how in the world he still makes these kinds of stages, to be honest.
Far-left journalist Chris Cuomo, formerly of CNN and now with NewsNation, denounced the $500,000 suites occupied by the pro-Harris media and “filled with the same people that they say they’re going to regulate.”
Soy Boys and Polyamory
Yet the most delightful moments of the night were Bash’s admission that Walz and Emhoff appeal to weak men, and conservative comedian Alex Strenger’s trolling the BBC.
Jake Tapper provided Bash the chance to say the Democratic Party really isn’t a home for “testosterone-laden” men.
“The gender gap in American politics has been trending very strongly for years,” Tapper said. “But this year, at least according to polls, it is so strong. The women vote is overwhelmingly for Harris. The male vote, overwhelmingly for Trump, though not as much.”
Yes and there’s the gender gap, then there’s the idea that for the last month, the Democratic Party has been rallying around a woman at the top of the ticket Which is the only other time they did it, which is in 2016. And it has been noteworthy to see how they are learning about what to do and how to confront Donald Trump as the opponent to a woman. 2016 and now, very different campaigns, very different female candidates.
But they are doing so in trying to put forward male figures — Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night — who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, y’know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC or might want to listen to that.
But also, in addition, understand that it’s okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman, and that is something they are really trying to work on with male voters beyond the base.
Tapper burbled something about the “different definitions of masculinity in 2024.”
“Noah Schwartz”
Wearing a Rasta cap, Strenger helpfully provided one for the BBC reporter.
“What brought you out here today?” inquired the hirsute, unkempt reporter.
Replied Strenger:
My name is Noah Schwartz, I use he, they pronouns. Like, I’m really excited that we have, like, the first black woman that could be president of the United States. And you know, like, my wife, right, we’re in a polyamorous relationship. The lover that my wife took is African-American, and like, I’ve learned so much about the struggle that people of color go through as a result of my wife’s boyfriend. And so I’m excited to really do my part and show solidarity to my marginalized community. So, like, the best way to do that is to get the first woman of color to be the commander in chief. And I’m really excited. I’m so pumped.
Asked if he was as excited about voting for Biden, Strenger said, amusingly enough, that he would vote for a corpse over Donald Trump, “a disgusting, fascist, white supremacist pig.”
Strenger said the country could make history by electing Harris, and that she embodied the values upon which the country was founded — diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“I’m a proud white dude for Kamala Harris, baby, let’s go!”
