Michelle Obama Gives Remarks During Harris Rally
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on stage with former First Lady Michelle Obama over the weekend, marking a moment that has stirred waves online.
What was meant to be a power appearance for the Democratic ticket took on a life of its own, as both Harris and Obama presented fiery speeches that left many questioning the appeal of the messaging in the final days before the election.
Pretty deranged that you think the most powerful message to young men is they should avoid being fathers by having their babies killed so they can “go to college.”
Psychotic even. https://t.co/YLZPcx7zgM

Michelle Obama’s remarks, especially, centered on abortion rights and seemed to convey frustration at men who, in her view, weren’t fully backing Harris as a candidate. Her tone, pointed and even scolding at times, drew a wide range of reactions.
Critics described the delivery as intense to the point of being counterproductive, arguing that her blunt words may have missed the mark with undecided voters, who may feel alienated by the stark language used.
Yes, acting like an unhinged angry menopausal crazy woman will totally inspire people to vote for you.

While Michelle Obama made headlines, Kamala Harris caught viewers' attention for a different reason altogether. In a forceful moment, she delivered a now-repeated line: “Never again (yelling) stand behind the seal of the United States! Never again! Never again! Never again!”
The line itself is impactful, but it’s the delivery—accompanied by forceful gestures, escalating volume, and intense expressions—that has captured attention, sparking online debate about Harris’s approach and tone. Many have questioned whether this approach resonates with voters looking for level-headed leadership.
Every single thing she does is scripted.
She simply cannot function without one. pic.twitter.com/JpZ4IDRpRD

Interestingly, this “Never again” moment was not improvised. The Trump campaign compiled clips of Harris delivering the same line at previous events, showing not only the repetition but also the rehearsed gestures and expressions.
The effect is almost theatrical, with each performance bearing striking resemblance to the last. While consistency can be a good strategy, this repetition raised eyebrows, with some likening it to a scripted performance from an actor, rather than an impassioned plea from a leader.
The rehearsed hand gestures and voice inflections. There is no actual candidate. There's just a performance by an actress and she knows she can't break it even now. https://t.co/a1zcAOVPma
