Video: ‘White Dudes for Harris’ Were Even More Cringe Than ‘White Women for Kamala’ – This Morning They Woke Up to Some Very Troubling News
By now, we’re sure you’re aware of the whites-only Zoom meetings that Kamala Harris supporters seem to think are a good idea. We’re old enough to remember when this type of gathering was considered racist.
But hey, White liberal women to the rescue!
White liberal women are now unleashing their super powers to help Kamala Harris and women of color!
According reports, nearly 200,000 white women were on the ‘white women for Kamala Harris’ Zoom call over the weekend.
“The meeting was organized by Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, a gun-safety group with about 10 million members.” Reuters reported.
These white women believe that women of color can only succeed if white people raise them up because BIPOC people can’t do it on their own.
Totally not racist at all.

This morning the social-media account for white male supporters of Kamala Harris was suspended from X, formerly Twitter, sparking anger online.
Newsweek observed that the White Dudes for Harris X account had been temporarily suspended after the group held a star-studded virtual call on Monday night that raised more than $4 million.
It is not clear why the account was suspended, but it has been restored as of the early hours of Tuesday. The automated message when the account was suspended read: “X suspends accounts which violate the X rules.”
In response to the suspension, Ross Morales Rocketto, an organizer for the group, wrote: “Got @elonmusk [X owner] scared.”
Mark Van der Veen offers some of the most analytical and insightful writings on politics. He regularly opines on the motives and political calculations of politicians and candidates, and whether or not their strategy will work. Van der Veen offers a contrast to many on this list by sticking mainly to a fact-based style of writing that is generally combative with opposing ideologies.
