CN Live! will discuss the four-day Democratic National Convention just ended with guests Margaret Kimberley and Niko House at 10 am EDT today.
Over the last four days of the Democratic Party convention, the party and those attending continued to ignore Palestinian Americans and their protests. Inside the convention hall, Palestinian Americans were not allowed to give a speech while the family of an Israeli hostage did.
Outside the arena, attendees were seen physically covering their ears and mocking protesters who were broadcasting the names of Palestinian children killed in Gaza.
The moment embodied Orwell in his novel 1984:“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
On Gaza, Joe Biden argued in his speech that his administration is working for a ceasefire to end the war, ignoring the $20 billion and $3.5 billion dollar arms deals for Israel just approved by his administration.
It also ignored the fact that the party has essentially declared itself beholden to Israel in its 2024 platform, which states that “the Administration opposes any effort to unfairly single out and delegitimize Israel including at the United Nations or through the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.”
Rep. Alexandria Occasio Cortez and other speakers echoed similar nonsense about Biden-Harris working towards a ceasefire.
She also used reproductive health care as a major talking point while ignoring the many decades in which Democrats failed to codify Roe V Wade which would have protected abortion rights for good.
Biden made angry pronouncements like “UKRAINE IS STILL FREE” – never mind the hundreds of thousands of men thrown into the meat grinder of war.
Michelle Obama argued that Democrats ‘don’t have to cheat’ their way into winning, despite the fact that Kamala Harris has been selected as nominee without winning a single vote to get there.
We also still don’t have policy from Harris’ campaign, with less than three months until Election Day. Michelle Obama left out the 2016 Party rigging against Bernie Sanders that left the party open to defeat against Trump by unfairly nominating Hillary Clinton: events which triggered the DNC Fraud Lawsuit.
Reports from the convention described heavy security defending against pro-Palestinian protests.
Our guest to speak about the convention and Kamala Harris’s candidacy are Niko House, independent journalist and initiator of the 2016 DNC Fraud Lawsuit; and Margaret Kimberley, editor & senior columnist at the Black Agenda Report and author of the book Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents.
Hosts: Elizabeth Vos and Joe Lauria. Producer: Cathy Vogan.
