Kamala Harris makes a bizarre claim about the Kaepernick protest
"Many smart people have said it actually was not a thing"

Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) claimed that the national anthem protest of former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick was exacerbated by Russian social media bots in an interview Friday.
Harris, who has experienced a surge in polling since the Democratic debates, made the comments while on a talk radio show.
"You know people have said if you look at, for example, the whole, remember the whole, the heat that ended up around the bend the knee and Colin Kaepernick?" she asked.
"Many smart people have said it actually was not a thing, the Russian bots started taking that on," Harris claimed.
"Do you feel like you're being targeted by Russian bots right now?" asked a radio host.
"Well we already know that," she confidently replied.
Harris was referring to a report that said Russian online efforts to meddle in the 2016 election included messages and memes from social media bots related to the Kaepernick protest.
Researchers told the Wall Street Journal that they identified more than 12,000 tweets about the NFL or the national anthem from accounts related to a Kremlin-backed online bot farm over numerous months during the controversy.
The claim from Harris that there would not have been a controversy without Russian encouragement appears to be an exaggeration of that report.

2020 Democrats shine: Gillibrand talks white privilege, Buttigieg releases 'Douglass Plan'
Jul 13, 2019 10:00am PDT by Laura Clawson, Daily Kos Staff

There are 20+ Democratic presidential candidates right now, and one of them will be our nominee. That means that even some of the more prominent candidates will be saying or doing great things that are slipping through the cracks of traditional media and social media. It means that almost everything the lesser-known candidates are doing will fall through cracks that are more like chasms.
Good stuff from Democrats deserves attention. Add to that the fact that we don’t all like every single one of the candidates, but that when the time comes, we’ll have to set that aside and get behind the nominee as our way to beat Donald Trump and start the long, hard task of fixing our country. And that’s where this round-up comes in. I’ll be looking for a strong moment from as many candidates as possible each week, be it a policy, a quote, a tweet, an action.
So without further ado …
Kirsten Gillibrand was asked about white privilege in the context of the opioid epidemic and industries leaving Youngstown, Ohio. She had a fantastic answer.
Pete Buttigieg released his Douglass Plan for “a comprehensive investment in the empowerment of Black America.”
Kamala Harris joined with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on a bill to help people with criminal records obtain housing.
Bernie Sanders wrote a Fortune op-ed: “America is drowning in student debt. Here’s my plan to end it.”
Beto O'Rourke held an immigration roundtable at a refugee-owned coffee shop in Tennessee.
Elizabeth Warren unveiled a plan to boost clean energy production in the U.S.
Joe Biden vowed to end Trump’s family separation and Muslim ban policies.
Jay Inslee opposed the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline under the Great Lakes.
Julián Castro spoke out for workers at Station Casinos, whose owners are refusing to recognize their union.
Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race.
Too Funny.

Idk...
Gillibrand put herself in contention to be in the running. Both ties to NYC donors and the ability to win votes in right leaning rural NY. I'll leave the right or wrong of it to someone else, but sure does seem like taking down the much like Al Frankin did her no favors.
Biden's... pitch seem s pretty clear, if you liked Obama you will like Joe.
O'Rourke...The thing is I just don't know how to take him. Did he express any opinions at said roundtable meeting, or did he just listen to other people as he seems to like to do. A noble trait, but somehow always deferring is starting to make him look small.
Warren... I like Warren, and think she is smart. But she's a bit far to the left of me.
Sandars... stop me if you've heard this one before, but the thrill is gone...
idk... seems like Joe is always talking about gay men and monitoring them and their bathroom use. So not sure I find the timing of his post all that exceptional? Or at least no more or less exceptional then all the other times he's gotten engrossed on the topic of man love.

The Arrogance And The Ignorance
Derek Hunter | Jul 14, 2019 7:30 AM

Separately, arrogance and ignorance are some of humanity’s worst traits. Together, when coupled with power, they achieve “weapon-grade stupid” status. This is the marinade of the “gang of four,” the “progressive” Congresswomen – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar – who I’d accuse of having exponentially more social media followers than accomplishments, but it’s impossible to multiply by zero. This week we witnessed why those two traits together are such a problem for Democrats, and it was hilarious.
Individually, the Gang of Four have strung together an uninterrupted string of gaffes, stupid statements, and racist comments that would humiliate your average teenager. But what they possess individually is nothing compared what happens when they come together, they manage the mathematical impossibility of a collective IQ drop.
When they were spending their time attacking Republicans, Democrats weren’t bothered. What’s an embarrassing anti-Semitic comment or quoting a Nazi sympathizer (of having your chief of staff wearing a shirt glorifying a Nazi collaborator, as AOC’s did) when their vitriol is directed toward Republicans? Sycophantic journalists, who use their preferred nickname “The Squad,” either ignored or defended these “misunderstandings.” It’s all fun and games when your enemies are taking all the fire.
But Frankenstein’s monster always returns to the castle and destroys it.
As if to prove karma is real, the Gang is now firing down the Democratic Party’s trench. After years of Democratic establishment sitting in the castle, laughing as their social justice warriors burned the town below, they’re now in the castle setting fire to everything.
Nancy Pelosi tried to keep things calm, but you can’t control the liberal mob, even when you created it. Years of indoctrinating people to believe they’re victims, that racism is everywhere and systemic, has consequences.
After imploring Democrats to keep their disagreements private, to handle them like adults, the Gang of Four accused her of racism. They don’t believe it, but it’s their default response to anyone challenging them.
“When these comments first started, I kind of thought that she was keeping the progressive flank at more of an arm’s distance in order to protect more moderate members, which I understood,” AOC said. “But the persistent singling out … it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful … the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.”
AOC tried to deny she’s called her party’s leader a racist, but it’s clear her compulsion caused her to do just that. The other Gang members followed suit. But when you go after the queen, you’d better not miss. And they missed.
People don’t realize it, but the House of Representatives is anything but representative. There are 435 Members, but only a handful matter to any degree, and none matter more than the Speaker. The number of TV hits, glowing profiles, and Twitter followers someone has does not change that simple fact, no matter what people see in a movie or TV show.
The Gang of Four seems to think they run the show, or at least should. They are the worst stereotypes of millennials.

A new internal Democrat poll in swing districts released on Sunday showed that socialist Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are extremely unpopular and that they may cost the Democratic Party the presidency and the House in 2020.
Duration 0:38
Ocasio-Cortez Fires Back At Trump: 'The Country I Come From...Is The United States'
"Ocasio-Cortez was recognized by 74% of voters in the poll; 22% had a favorable view," Axios reported. "Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — another member of The Squad — was recognized by 53% of the voters; 9% (not a typo) had a favorable view."
"Socialism was viewed favorably by 18% of the voters and unfavorably by 69%," Axios added, whereas "capitalism was 56% favorable; 32% unfavorable."
The firm that conducted the poll gave the results to Axios on the condition that it not be named because it works "with all parts of the party."
A top Democrat involved in the 2020 congressional races told Axios: "If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the [House] majority at risk.he's getting all the news and defining everyone else’s races. Socialism is toxic to these voters."
The poll's results match numerous other polls that have been taken on Ocasio-Cortez and socialism.
A June poll from inside Ocasio-Cortez's district found:
A NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll from March found that, of socialism in general, "only 18% of respondents approved, while 50% of respondents disapproved."

Kirsten Gillibrand: ‘I Have Benefited Because of My Whiteness’

Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) spoke to supporters at the Netroots Nation organizing conference in Philadelphia last week where she discussed the “enormous amounts of white privilege” she has experienced.
“A community has been left behind for generations because of the color of their skin,” Gillibrand stated to the small crowd of supporters. “Institutional racism is real.”
Gillibrand went on to discuss what she believed to be institutional racism against black mothers during child birth, claiming that they are less likely to live through a complicated childbirth than white women.
Speaking to Daily Mail afterwards, Gillibrand expounded on the remarks she made at the forum.
“There is a deference that is given to whiteness in society today. And, you see it all the time,” Gillibrand told Daily Mail.
Gillibrand also discussed one of her black staffers and said she watches “how she’s treated” when they travel together.
“I travel with a woman who’s black, I watch how she’s treated when we walk into a hotel room, into a hotel to check in. I watch how she’s treated in a restaurant. I watch how whether the person who’s taking her order listens to her order and gets it right,” Gillibrand said.
“I’ve sat with black Americans, and they’re literally not listened to,” Gillibrand added.
Asked by Daily Mail whether she had benefited from being a white woman, Gillibrand responded, “Absolutely.”
“I don’t think you can overstate the reality of institutional racism in society today,” Gillibrand stated. “I really don’t think you can overstate it. It is so prevalent. It is in healthcare, it is in education, it’s in the economy, it’s in the criminal justice system.”
Describing an incident where she was driving down the wrong side of the street, Gillibrand said a police officer asked her if she needed assistance. She then went on to discuss how she believes the situation would have been handled if she were a black person.
‘If I was a black woman, or God forbid a black man, he would not only pull me out of that car, he might arrest me. I could be shot,” Gillibrand claimed.
Gillibrand also claimed she has a “comprehensive approach” to address systemic racism.
According to the Daily Mail, Gillibrand was “asked specifically” how she had benefited in her career from being a white woman.
“I am certain I have been. I’m certain of it,” Gillibrand responded. “I think you know disproportionately that black and brown people have less economic opportunity. Just look at the pay gap.”
“The fact that white women earn more than black women, earn more than Latinas,” Gillibrand added. “It’s in the pay that I receive, so the truth is yes, I have benefited because of my whiteness, and that’s just a fact.”
