Kamala Harris, who was chosen as the new candidate without getting any votes for president, is set to accept her party’s nomination on Thursday night. Her speech will end a highly unusual and successful effort to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, taking the spot from him and denying many voters their preferred choice.
According to Special Counsel Jack Smith, it wasn’t just unexpected. It was an illegal, unconstitutional maneuver.
For years, Democrats have said that Trump’s alleged conspiracy charge was about his “efforts to prevent voters from having their voices heard.”
One of the charges in Smith’s indictment related to January 6 against the former president is conspiracy against rights, according to 18 U.S. Code § 241. This law says that if two or more people work together to harm, oppress, threaten, or intimidate someone in any part of the U.S. while exercising their constitutional rights, they can face fines or up to ten years in prison.
Smith used this law to argue that Trump’s actions and claims about voting fraud in the 2020 election, as well as his attempts to delay the certification process on January 6, infringed on the rights of the 81 million Americans who voted for Biden. The indictment accuses Trump of conspiring to harm and intimidate people in their right to vote and have their votes counted.
Biden didn’t quit because of health issues or unexpected problems. He dropped out because he would lose and could hurt other Democratic candidates in November.
At the time, his spokesperson made it sound like Biden was brave and putting the country first. They said he was trying to unite his party and handle a critical moment.
But Biden confessed that he stepped down because his Democratic colleagues were worried he would hurt their chances in the elections. He was worried he would be a distraction. His exit was party politics at their finest. It wasn’t brave, and it wasn’t about “protecting democracy.”
It was the single most undemocratic stunt ever pulled in American history.
One woman, Nancy Pelosi, created a series of unprecedented events that will forever change the landscape of elections. Why? She wanted to ensure that “Donald Trump would never set foot in the White House again.” She revealed her feelings about Biden voluntarily stepping aside, saying in an interview, “My concern was: this ain’t happening, and we have to make a decision for this to happen.”
The situation began to unravel after Biden’s poor debate performance on June 27. For three weeks, Biden strongly resisted calls to drop out, even from his supporters. Biden and his team spent those weeks insisting he would keep running for a second term. They continued to take donations and said they planned to return to campaigning after the President recovered from COVID.
On July 21, just over a hundred days before the election, Biden dropped out.
Now, the evidence is clear. According to Jack Smith, Democrats have violated 18 U.S. Code § 241. The law should now apply to Congressional Democrats, the news media, and White House officials, including Biden, for taking away the rights of the 14 million voters who chose Biden in the Democratic primary. They did this by blocking other Democratic candidates last spring and locking in the nomination in March, only to later push Biden out of the race when it was undeniable that he couldn’t win.
In Pelosi’s own words, she and a handful of Democrats decided to remove Biden without the knowledge or support of voters. It was a planned coup designed to keep Trump at bay, once again ignoring the voter voices. They are determined to drive Trump out of the race, regardless of voters’ thoughts.
This is the same woman who claimed a four-hour protest on January 6 was a scheme by Trump to “overturn the election results.” Pelosi is doing far worse…ensuring the election never reaches a point where Trump could legitimately win. And she’s doing it by squashing the will of millions of Democrat voters.
Kamala Harris, who was chosen as the new candidate without getting any votes for president, is set to accept her party’s nomination on Thursday night officially. It’s an official coronation that voters never asked for.
The U.S. fought a war to ensure such tyranny never reached its shores. Yet it’s just a taste of what Democrats have in store for 2024.
