Lizzo: If Harris Becomes President the Country Will be Like Detroit
VP Kamala Harris has Lizzo campaigning for her in Detroit, MI.
Lizzo gave a passionate speech about Detroit, a city she lived in until she was ten. Her family then relocated to Houston, TX, so yeah. I guess she knows a lot about Detroit.
Lizzo claimed if Harris wins next month the country will look like Detroit, which is honestly not a good thing.
The singer brought up supposed voter suppression, too. She claimed people discourage youngsters from voting.
Ugh, Lizzo also reminded us that Harris has spent her entire career in the public sector. Yeah, another career politician.
How can Harris possibly understand the economy when she has no experience in the private sector?
Here’s the whole speech (emphasis mine):
So happy to be back in Detroit. You know, all the best things were made in Detroit: coney dogs, Faygo, and Lizzo. I’m so proud to be from this city. They say if Kamala wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit. Okay. Proud like Detroit. Resilient like Detroit. We’re talking about the same Detroit that innovated the auto industry and the music industry. So put some respect on Detroit’s name, okay? I’m proud to say that I voted. I voted early and I voted for Kamala Harris. They say voting is not a love letter. It’s a chess move. Oh, you can’t. Hear me? Oh, then we got to run this back. Hello? Hello? Turn me up. Turn up the music. Turn down the light. I got a feeling. Can you all hear me all right? Thank you so much. All right, I’m running it back from the top because you all need to hear this. What up, dog? They say if Kamala wins in this whole country will be like Detroit. Well, I say proud like Detroit. I say resilient like Detroit. This is the same Detroit that innovated the auto industry and the music industry. So put some respect on Detroit’s name. I’m proud to say that I voted. I voted early and I voted for Kamala Harris. They say voting is not a love letter, it’s a chess move. Well, I feel like voting early is not just a chess move, it’s a power move. There’s a lot of people who feel okay. There’s a lot of people who feel like their vote doesn’t matter, but I say to that if your vote didn’t matter, then voter suppression would not exist. If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t discourage young people from going to the polls. If your vote didn’t matter, our parents and our grandparents would not have marched and fought for our right to vote. And also, you live in the great state of Michigan. This is the swing state of all swing states, so every single last vote here counts. I love this country, and I love you whether you’re..I love you! Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican or neither, you deserve a president who listens when you speak.You deserve a president who respects when you protest. You deserve a president who understands that their job is to be a public service. And Kamala Harris has dedicated her entire career to public service. From DA to VP. And I think Mrs. Commander-in-Chief has a nice ring to it. There are some who say that America is not ready for a woman president. Well, to that, I say look to Detroit. The CEO of GM, Mary Barra, that’s a woman. The CEO of Avalon Village, Mama Shu, in Highland Park, building communities for the future. That’s a woman. So if you ask me if America is ready for his first woman president, I only got one thing to say: It’s about damn time. It’s about damn time. I love you all. God bless you. God bless America, and I will see you at the polls. Baby, let’s go.
