Report from Pennsylvania: Marc Lamont Hill on Harris's Closing Speech & Dangers of a Trump Victory

Vice President Kamala Harris made her closing argument Tuesday in a major speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., scene of the Trump rally in 2021 that led to the Capitol riot. Harris described Trump as a tyrant who would shred the rule of law if given another four years in office. The Republican campaign, meanwhile, is still dealing with fallout from Sunday's rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, where speakers made a series of racist and dehumanizing remarks about Puerto Ricans, Black people, Palestinians and more. For more on the state of the race with less than a week to go before Election Day, we speak with journalist, author and academic Marc Lamont Hill, who says despite Kamala Harris's flaws, her message to voters is clear: "Donald Trump is worse." Hill also discusses President Joe Biden's role in the Democratic campaign, the exaggerated migration of Black men to the Republican camp and the threat of violence if Trump loses again. "No one is safe in a Trump presidency. No one is safe the day after a Trump loss," says Hill.

“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

“I’ve done more for Puerto Rico than any other president, by far.”

Attempting to divide the diaspora of Puerto Ricans from their homeland or for that matter the diaspora of all Latin American immigrants from their place of birth will never happen. Our roots, whether will be from our parents, grandparents and our ancestors is well established, it runs through our veins, it is in our blood, it is part of our culture, and we are proud to be Latin American descendants. Unfortunately in this nation Latinos have been made to be second class citizens and yet we have been a cornerstone to the economic growth of this country, we have contribute through our brothers, sisters, sons and daughters to the armed forces of the United States of America of which 23% are of Latino descent, we have been model citizens throughout history, and we definitely not only deserve but demand the respect that we have earned. Shame on Trump and shame on the Democratic Party as well because they have taken us for granted.

Trump has criticized Biden for not giving Israel more weaponry to “get the job done.”

us europeans feel like using the expression "white vote", "black vote", "latino vote" is so -- but don't get me wrong we've go all kinds of weird phenomena going on as well

I like Marc Lamont Hill. He's been very vocal about the genocide. But I'm tired of voting for "lesser evils." A lot of us have been trying to "save the US" since 2008. What we need is a candidate and party that will actually listen to us and not the lobbyists. And Kamala Harris isn't that candidate.

MSG rally had nothing to do with love. Plus trump also said that January 6 was a day of love. Can you imagine what four years of that type of love would be like?

[saabkeysaabkey]

I remember when he lost his job " I told him keep your head up you are in the right position " then he got a job form Aljazira + his private teaching Y/t, congratulations to him. Thank you.
