- Tucker Carlson, Fox News Host: “Harris gave a speech that was as predictable as it was empty. Instead of offering solutions or a vision, it was just more of the same divisive rhetoric we’ve come to expect from the Biden-Harris administration.”
- Ben Shapiro, Host of “The Ben Shapiro Show” and Co-Founder of The Daily Wire: “Kamala Harris’s speech at the DNC was a disaster. It’s clear she still hasn’t found a coherent message. Instead of addressing her failures or providing a roadmap for the future, it was just a series of platitudes and empty promises.”
Kamala Harris’s speech at the Democratic National Convention drew significant attention, not just for its content but for the way she repeatedly thanked the crowd—a vocal tic that some observers found peculiar. As she prepared to deliver her speech, Harris said “Thank you” a total of 27 times, a gesture that seemed to be an attempt to acknowledge the crowd’s enthusiasm while politely encouraging them to settle down. Despite her efforts to begin her speech, the crowd’s cheers of “Ka-ma-la” and “U-S-A” continued, prompting her to say, “Let’s get down to business.” Even after starting her address, she added another four “thank yous” when acknowledging friends and family.
Donald Trump, known for his own experience with large rallies, was quick to critique Harris’s opening. He took to social media to express his bemusement, asking, “Too many ‘Thank yous,’ too rapidly said, what’s going on with her?” His comment was part of a broader criticism of Harris’s delivery and policies, as he reacted in real time to her speech.

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s sister also chimed in on the matter, questioning on social media, “How many times did Kamala just say thank you?” This added to the chorus of voices commenting on Harris’s apparent vocal habit.
During her speech, Harris didn’t hold back in her criticisms of Trump, accusing him of inciting the January 6 Capitol riot, which is a very big lie. aAlso pointing out that he had been found guilty of fraud and liable for sexual abuse in separate court cases, that we all know as witch hunts and DOJ inspired corruption. Trump responded swiftly, attempting to downplay her accusations and defend his record. He also took the opportunity to correct what he saw as inaccuracies in her speech, such as when Harris praised her running mate Tim Walz for his time as a high school football coach which is pretty ridiculous knowing hos stolen valor and lies, and support of Communist China.
Trump’s critiques weren’t limited to Harris’s speech delivery. He also took jabs at her political record, particularly her tenure as San Francisco District Attorney and California Attorney General, claiming that she had contributed to the city’s decline. Additionally, Trump voiced his disagreement with Harris’s actions and comments on his immigration policies, accusing her of allowing chaos at the border that he argued was detrimental to the lives of women and minority communities. From 100-150 thousand Americans a year are poised thanks to drugs that pass over our open border. Tens of thousands of children are sexually exploited, and untold numbers killed by deviant low lives, thanks to the open border. Need we say more? Oh yeah, rapes, murders, and the cost now estimated at 450 billion a year thanks to extensive welfare benefits to illegals that Kamala and Biden approved, in order to bankrupt the U.S. within a few years. Their goal is to bring about the Great Marxist Reset, and they look at illegals as a weapon to do so.
In a particularly pointed critique, Trump addressed Harris’s remarks on abortion rights, a topic that has been a central issue in the ongoing political debate. Harris had rallied the crowd on this issue, but Trump pushed back, calling her statements lies and insisting that he supports women’s rights while accusing her of failing to protect them due to her immigration policies. Trump believes it is up to the states, which means the people.
Throughout the evening, Trump continued to offer his commentary on Harris’s speech, covering a range of issues from her critique of the fake Project 25 agenda that the Left continues to lie is Trump’s. He has repeatedly said he has nothing to do with them. His detailed, often critical responses highlighted the ongoing tension between the two political figures as they vie for public support.

Quotes
- Candace Owens, Conservative Commentator and Author: “Kamala Harris is out of touch with the American people, and her DNC speech proved it. Instead of talking about the crises created by this administration, she chose to play identity politics and divide Americans further.”
- Laura Ingraham, Host of “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News: “Harris’s speech was more about virtue signaling than leadership. She failed to address any real issues or present a plan for how this administration will tackle the mounting problems they have created.”
- Charlie Kirk, Founder of Turning Point USA: “Kamala Harris at the DNC: more empty words from a politician who has done nothing but make things worse. Her speech was a joke, full of empty rhetoric and lacking any real solutions.”
- Mark Levin, Conservative Radio Host and Author: “Kamala Harris delivered a forgettable speech filled with the usual left-wing propaganda. There’s no plan, no vision, and no leadership coming from her. Just more of the same failures from this administration.”
- Greg Gutfeld, Co-host of “The Five” on Fox News: “Harris’s speech was supposed to inspire, but it fell flat. She talked a lot, but said very little. It’s clear she is struggling to connect with voters, even within her own party.”
