U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) on Friday sounded off on the Kamala Harris campaign’s closing message, which has largely focused on denigrating Americans who don’t support the Vice President’s candidacy.
In recent days, Harris herself has called President Donald Trump a “fascist” while her running mate Tim Walz compared Trump supporters to Nazis. President Joe Biden called Americans voting for Trump “garbage,” while top Harris surrogate Mark Cuban claimed you won’t see “strong and intelligent women” around Trump.
Calling into Montgomery-area Newstalk 93.1’s “News and Views” with host Joey Clark, Britt outlined that the latest incident with Cuban is merely the latest example of Democrat elites being honest about how they view most Americans.
“This is what Democrats do. If you do not agree with them, then they find a way to demean the position that you hold,” Alabama’s Senator said. “And it goes back to Hillary Clinton calling us deplorables. You look at what happened in the last week with Joe Biden calling us garbage and now you see Mark Cuban…”
“This is what the elites think about the American people. And, you know, from time to time they say the quiet part out loud.”
Britt continued to tee off on Cuban as “wildly out of touch.”
“First off, Mark Cuban is the definition of the 1% of the 1%, right? He is wildly out of touch and openly disdains hardworking, everyday American families with rhetoric like that. I mean, this is a guy who likely has full time security. You know he doesn’t do his own grocery shopping or pump his own gas. He doesn’t understand what real people are going through.”
“[H]e can’t understand why women want stable prices, secure borders, safe streets, strong communities,” Britt added.
Despite the personal attacks on Americans who don’t support Harris, Britt expressed optimism that Democrats’ tactics wouldn’t succeed on Election Day.
“I think it’s just a desperate attempt to try to convince women not to vote for President Trump. But, look, we know what President Trump stands for. We know what life was like under him. We are strong and patriotic Americans who want to preserve the American Dream for our children and our children’s children. And I think this just exposes that it’s Democrats who are actually weak and insecure on their own policy positions.”
Democrats have recently used coastal celebrities like former P. Diddy girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Cardi B, and Samuel L. Jackson on the campaign trail.
Britt commented, “[T]hey use the 1% of the 1%. And it’s not just Mark Cuban. They’ve been strolling stars out all week, people who don’t understand what it’s like to make ends meet, that don’t understand what it’s like to want your child to have the opportunity to go to a better school … because they have it all at their fingertips.”
“And ultimately, I think it backfires on them,” she concluded. “Because Americans are sick of being looked down on by the elites, people looking down their nose and thinking less of us because we deal with a different set of problems than they do.”
Britt also addressed Cuban’s comments on Fox News’ “America Reports” and the nationally syndicated Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
