How excited are ordinary Americans for the potential of a Kamala Harris presidency? Well, while some are surely excited to have her as Cackler in Chief, many are decidedly on the other side. Such was quite evident in an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360” with a CNN correspondent and an auto-worker in Michigan.
CNN National Correspondent Gary Tuchman was the correspondent involved. He was interviewing a voter from Michigan who works at the Stellantis assembly plant, a classic blue-collar job in the Rust Belt to which Trump has directed his campaign message. The man described himself as a “fervent” supporter of the 2024 Republican presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump.
During the interview, the Stellantis factory worker commented on the entry of 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris entering the race. He said that her entry into the race as a candidate “ruins” the election equation for America, because if she wins, “America’s done for.”
Introducing the clip and describing the plant at which the man works, Tuchman said, “At the Sterling Heights Stellantis assembly plant in Macomb County, where they assemble the Ram 1500, it’s shift change time for the union workers. While many are enthused about Kamala Harris, we did run into plenty of fervent Trump supporters who say the new challenger has only made them more enthused about the former President.”
In the clip itself, which played after Tuchman introduced it, Tuchman asked the man about Kamala and how her entry into the presidential race changes the equation for America in this election, if at all. He asked the man, “Does Kamala Harris getting in the race change the equation at all for…you?”
Responding to the question, the man told Tuchman, “Change it? It ruins it. She gets in, we’re done. So –.” Tuchman immediately asked the man to clarify what he meant by “we’re done,” asking, “Done with what?” Responding again, the man made it crystal-clear that he thinks she’ll be the end of America, saying, “America’s done for.”
Watch the interview here:
Former President Trump, commenting on what he will do, by contrast to Kamala, if elected, said, in a post on Truth Social, “By this time next year, America’s borders will be STRONG, SEALED, and SECURE. Inflation will be in FULL RETREAT. Our economy will be roaring back. Optimism will be surging. The American Dream will be thriving again for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed. Law and Justice will reign all throughout our land. Freedom will be restored. The flame of liberty will be burning bright. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the worst administration in the history of our Country, will be a fading memory of the past—And our Great Silent Majority, including the once forgotten men and women of our Country, will be the ones shaping America’s magnificent future when I am the 47th President of the United States”
He also said, trashing Kamala, “Kamala Harris was the ORIGINAL Marxist District Attorney—she destroyed San Francisco, and she will destroy our Country. Harris supports ending cash bail nationwide, which means releasing violent criminals immediately after arrest. She wants to abolish jail sentences for parole violators, she endorsed DE-FUNDING THE POLICE, and she sponsored a bill to strip police officers of legal protection, leaving our communities at the mercy of deranged criminals and violent mobs!”
