I saw this earlier and thought it was interesting. Kamala Harris' campaign is reportedly reducing its radio advertising in Milwaukee and making a significant buy in Philadelphia, which she should have sewn up.
EXCLUSIVE: Kamala Harris' campaign is drastically reducing its radio advertising in Milwaukee and making a "significant" buy on two hip hop/R&B stations in Philadelphia, signaling possible concern over black turnout in Pennsylvania.

As I reported earlier, the Harris campaign is bringing out the "big dog," Bill Clinton, to campaign in southern states. She also had Barack Obama campaigning for her in East Liberty at a "Black Men for Harris" event. Obama is deeply disappointed in black men who aren't showing more enthusiasm for Harris.
Former President Barack Obama has a “tough talk” at the Black voters for Harris event in East Liberty. He addressed that Black men have not been as enthused about Harris as during his first run, and he sought to encourage them to join Harris’ movement pic.twitter.com/gDFZhsdLxC

Part of him thinks that black men just aren't feeling a woman president.
Obama’s message to black men is to ignore their concerns and accuse them of being misogynists for opposing Harris. https://t.co/kDWyTm020m

Obama is pretty clearly implying here that he thinks black men who don’t vote Democrat in this election are secret bigots, as opposed to rational actors making a choice about which candidate’s policies they prefer https://t.co/I4BQiqfey6

Yep. For what specific reason should black men be enthusiastic about voting for Harris? They buy gas and groceries too.
Loose translation: "We're losing"

“More pronounced with the brothers…” unbelievably condescending and why would anyone listen to this?! And then continue to vote for their own demise?

African American lives were better under Trump and everyone knows it.

Obama seems to think Harris has earned their vote by having a Jamaican father.

I imagine it's difficult for them to care about being scolded by someone they know by now is completely full of shit.

Ah yes it’s our fault. He’s always disappointed in us. Smh

Not gonna lie. Used to look up to Obama.

This is shameful.#Trump2024
The data says this election is a coinflip, but this sounds like a losing campaign sort of talk.

Obama didn't think he'd have to stoop to this for the sake of the party, but Harris is a hard sell, even to black men.
