Kamala Harris, draped in a dark pantsuit with a white silk blouse, made her closing argument to the American people as her campaign reaches its final days. Her so-called "Turn the Page" speech was immediately overshadowed by her boss, President Joe Biden. As my colleague Sister Toldjah covered, Biden undercut his VP with this brain-dead commentary.
So much for the VP’s closing pitch news cycle https://t.co/1aNg8HoOTE

So much for Harris owning the news cycle. Between Trump and Biden, Harris will be lucky if they remember she's running.
There's a big difference between a comedian telling a joke and the President of the United States telling Americans that they are garbage.@KamalaHarris must denounce this rhetoric. https://t.co/o83eFbgXsg

Seriously, there are political folks who have said that Joe Biden is not doing this to Harris deliberately. I have serious doubts that this is the case. While this article is supposed to be about the hot takes of her speech, what is dominating X-world is Biden calling half the country garbage. Way to foster unity. And even better way to knee-cap the coup candidate.
Yeah, no calculation here whatsoever.
But there was a speech, and Kamala Harris gave it, ably reading off the teleprompter with the proper degree of practiced passion and emotion. The content of the speech? A cobbling of "Orange Man Bad, I came from a middle-class family, Project 2025 is evil," with the same warmed-over/stolen policies and lies she's been peddling on the stump.
Good News

if you miss Kamala's speech tonight on the Ellipse don't worry because it the same talking points she has been using for the past 3 months
Minus any new accent. Kind of disappointing.
Kamala going negative/angry right out of the game by jumping right into Jan. 6.

This is a speech catered to MSNBC viewers.
She has already said (by my count) Trump's name 10 times in the first 7 minutes.
Not making a case for her candidacy. Only talking about her opponent.
What was interesting was that Harris began her speech when loud sirens started to blare in the background. Also disappointing: They were not coming to take her away.
Kamala can’t even give a speech in the Democrat Hellhole of Washington DC without sirens blaring in the background pic.twitter.com/szKVDnpTW4

But not all felt the speech was a disaster. Kamala had her cheerleaders, along with the detractors.
Kamala crushed it from the spot Trump urged Jan. 6. Overflow crowd. Perfect speech. Let’s go guys. Democracy not division. Country over chaos. 🙏🏻

Talk about a closing argument!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Kamala was on fire, and delivered that speech with poise, power and energy! She's by far the strongest candidate we've had in modern times!
Let's vote her into the Oval Office and Trump into prison!
WE HAVE THE POWER, AMERICA!!!… pic.twitter.com/adfAcFvVmv
Most of Harris' rehashed moments were repeating the "Fine People" hoax, the debunked "Suckers and Losers" phrase, and claiming Donald Trump would use the military against people who disagree with him. Conveniently forgetting that her administration mounted a J-6 commission that jailed people for trespassing and is giving stiff sentences out to pro-life grandmas who pray in front of abortion clinics.
Her administration has literally jailed Americans for disagreeing with them. #KamalaDumpsterFirepic.twitter.com/aputK5mNNi

So much unity. You can feel it.
Fox News Senior Correspondent Bill Melugin summarized Harris' lies remarks about the border.
VP Kamala Harris tonight re: the border:
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) October 30, 2024
“We will quickly remove those who arrive here unlawfully.” 👀
Tells politicians to “stop treating it as an issue to scare voters during an election.”
Says again that she would sign the bipartisan border deal if elected.
Newsflash, Kamala. Last time I checked, Tren de Aragua and Haitian migrants are very scary to most people, and it doesn't take a politician to convince them.
In typical Harris fashion, the speech lasted a little over 30 minutes, but even that was an exceptionally long time to say not much. It is no surprise that she is dodging a three-hour Joe Rogan interview.
Bob Hoge's missus pretty much summed up the evening.
This speech is a disaster.

I'm a woman. With XX and everything.
I don't want to hear this drunken shrew harping at me for the next four years.
After tonight, let's hope the majority of Americans agree with Roxanne and vote accordingly.
