Oprah’s Scare Tactic: If Women Don’t Vote For Harris, May Not Have Opportunity to ‘Ever Cast a Ballot Again’
It was the threat of the century when billionaire Oprah Winfrey spoke at the Kamala Harris rally the night before election day. The television mogul told women at the Philadelphia rally late Monday night that if they don’t show up and vote for Kamala Harris today, they may never ever have the chance to vote again in their lifetimes.
Winfrey told the audience a story about when she was hiking on Sunday and met a woman named Angela. Allegedly Angela told Winfrey she had decided not to vote in this election.
Oprah said she told Angela, “We don’t get to sit this one out. If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.”
Winfrey also said if women did not make sure the people in their lives could get to the polls, “that is a mistake.”
“Deciding not to decide that is most definitely a vote to let other people control your future,” she continued.
She said about Harris before introducing singer Will.I.Am, “She sees us, and she will do her mighty best to serve all of us. I believe we can do that, and I know she can do that, yes she can, yes she can, yes she can, and to say it and sing it and drive that message home.”
Singer Katy Perry also performed at the Harris rally and told the audience that she had a baby four years ago and believes Kamala Harris has her daughter’s best interests at heart and will protect her.
In November, president-elect Donald Trump announced on social media that he would impose a 25% tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico if they do not take an active role in containing illegal immigration as well as the level of illicit drugs entering into the United States.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Trump at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, after which the Canadian government vowed to secure the border. “We got, I think, a mutual understanding of what they’re concerned about in terms of border security,” Minister of Public Safety Dominic LeBlanc, who accompanied Trudeau at Mar-a-Largo, said of the meeting in an interview with Canadian media. “All of their concerns are shared by Canadians and by the government of Canada.”
“We talked about the security posture currently at the border that we believe to be effective, and we also discussed additional measures and visible measures that we’re going to put in place over the coming weeks,” LeBlanc continued. “And we also established, Rosemary, a personal series of rapport that I think will continue to allow us to make that case.”
The Daily Caller News Foundation reports the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is preparing to beef up its immigration enforcement capabilities by hiring more staff, adding more vehicles and creating more processing facilities, in the chance that there is an immigration surge sparked by Trump’s presidential election victory. The moves are a change in direction from Trudeau’s public declaration in January 2017 that Canada was a “welcoming” country and that “diversity is our strength” just days after Trump was sworn into office the first time.
The Daily Caller notes the differences in response from the Canadian government verses Mexico’s:
Trudeau’s recent overtures largely differ from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has indicated she is not willing to bend the knee to Trump’s tariff threats. The Mexican leader in November said “there will be a response in kind” to any tariff levied on Mexican goods going into the U.S., and she appeared to deny the president-elect’s claims that she agreed to do more to beef up border security in a recent phone call.
