Stephen A Smith Calls Out Kamala Harris

August 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Stephen A Smith is someone who has been very clear about his political views. Overall, he has some liberal takes, and some conservative ones. He fancies himself as a centrist independent who has voted for Democrats and has also voted for Republicans. However, when it comes to the most recent election, it remains to be seen where he will lean. Although he hates Donald Trump, he does have some criticisms of Kamala Harris.

On his show, Stephen A spoke about how Harris is only doing rallies and has yet to do an interview. He believes she is hiding and that she needs to tell the American People what her platform is. “We’ve had one week, two weeks, three weeks and one day since Joe Biden stepped aside,” Smith began. “The only damn place we’ve seen Kamala Harris is at pep rallies. What’s up? Somebody gotta say something and it can’t just be the conservatives. Right is right.”

“I’m talking to my sister here. Come on now. You’re running for the presidency of The United States of America. You got my vote. You’re running for the presidency of the United States of America. What you hiding for? And I mean hiding in plain sight. Somebody gotta say it. Somebody gotta say it,” he continued. “Now, you can’t be running for the presidency of the United States. Not one single press conference. Not one single one-on-one sit-down interview where somebody gets to question you about the questions that we ask. That’s not fair. That’s not fair.”

Let us know what you think of these comments from Stephen A Smith, down below. Do you agree that Kamala Harris needs to start doing more interviews?

Donald Trump Slammed Online For “Racist” Kamala Harris Nickname

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump is running for President again, and there is no telling how this is going to go. Overall, Trump was leading in the polls against Joe Biden. However, with Kamala Harris taking over as the nominee, Trump has been slipping into dangerous territory. It would appear as though Harris is now winning in key battleground states. Moreover, she just announced Tim Walz as her VP which is a progressive pick that will appeal to the youth vote.

However, Trump has been looking to attack Kamala as much as possible. One of his points of attack has been her racial identity. While speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists, Trump made the claim that Harris has only recently started identifying as black and that he’s always known her to be Indian. On Truth Social, Trump has been calling her names like “Kambala” and “Kamabla,” which some have taken as a bit of a racist dog whistle.

Donald Trump Continues To Call Out VP Harris

Below, you can see numerous reactions to the name-calling. Detractors of Trump are not amused by it, and they believe that this is going to be offputting to the average voter. Sure, his base is going to love it, but the median voter might find this all to be a bit “weird.” After all, Kamala has never shied away from her background. Only time will tell whether or not this strategy works for Trump.

Twitter Reacts

Do you believe that this will end up working against Donald Trump come election day? Let us know in the comments section down below. Also, how do you feel about Kamala’s choice for Vice President, Tim Walz? Do you think he will help her win in battleground states? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the world. We will continue to keep you informed on current events.

“Kamabla”

What a sad, pathetic excuse for a human being. pic.twitter.com/dsmFl3AFC1

— Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) August 6, 2024

Republicans have been begging the GOP nominee to get serious and start focusing since the Dems switched nominees.

But they get “Kambala” instead, because their candidate has the temperament and style of a crude second grader.

Good luck. pic.twitter.com/FIABKwb4R2

Kamala Harris Swiftly Responds To Donald Trump Questioning Her Race

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kamala Harris is now the Democratic nominee for President. Overall, it is going to be an interesting race as she is taking on former President Donald Trump. When Biden was the presumptive nominee, the polls were not looking good for Democrats. Biden was losing in almost every swing state, while Trump continued to increase his lead nationally. However, with Harris taking over, the polls have flipped. Harris is showing lots of strength and if the election were held today, it’s looking more and more likely that she would win.

Of course, Trump is doing everything he can to put his opponent’s credibility into question. For instance, while speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists, Trump made some bizarre comments about Harris’ race. He said that Kamala can’t possibly be black as she has always identified as Indian. Perhaps Trump is confused, as Harris has always been open about being of Jamaican and Indian descent.

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, has officially secured the nomination for President. Overall, President Joe Biden has dropped out of the race, making way for Kamala to get the nom. However, it is not going to be an easy road to victory.

Regardless, there is newfound energy around Harris and it has led to a bit of a polling surge that is going to be key for Democrats moving forward.

Last night, Harris was finally able to secure the endorsement of Barack Obama. Previously, there were rumors that Obama thought Kamala was a weak candidate compared to some of the other choices. However, he ultimately called her along with his wife Michelle. “Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” Obama said on the phone call.

“Oh my goodness. Michelle, Barack, this means so much to me. I’m looking forward to doing this with the two of you, Doug and I both. And getting out there, being on the road,” Harris told Barack Obama. “But most of all, I just want to tell you the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than I can express, so thank you both. It means so much. And we’re gonna have some fun with this too, aren’t we?”

Let us know what you think of the Barack Obama endorsement, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is going to change the outcome of the election at all?

Plies Demands That White Men Vote For Kamala Harris During Election

July 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Plies is voting for Kamala Harris. Not only that, but the rapper is demanding that anybody who is hesitant to back the Democratic nominee set their issues aside. Especially, it seems, if one is an older white man. Plies got on Instagram Live on July 24, and he claimed Black voters, especially women, have supported white men at the polls for long enough. He doesn’t have time for anybody who is hesitant to return the favor come election day.

Plies started out by shooting down the debate as to whether America is ready for Black female President. “America there yet?,” he mockingly asked. “It ain’t about if muthaf*ckin America there yet. It’s about if we muthaf*ckin there yet.” The rapper proceeded to cite the decades of support that male candidates have gotten, and claimed it was time that women get their turn. “All these muthaf*ckin years a woman was able to vote for a muthaf*ckin man,” he noted. “Especially a woman of color was able to vote for a white man.”

Plies Previously Voiced Support For President Obama

As far as Plies is concerned, those who take issue with Kamala Harris are the problem. “Now all of a sudden it’s a muthaf*ckin problem for a white man to vote for a sista,” he asserted. “What kind of sh*t is that? If that’s the case, the sista ain’t the muthaf*ckin problem. It’s muthaf*ckin him.” Plies actually kept his political rant going on Twitter after posting his video. He took President Donald Trump to task for his track record of criminal activities. “U shouldn’t be questioning nobody about nothing,” he claimed.

Plies’ music may not suggest political activity, but he’s been very clear about his stances over the years. He voiced support for Barack Obama back in the 00s, and even released a song titled “Obama Forward” in 2012. “You said it’s gone take time we gone believe. Whatever you say we gone ride for you,” he raps. “Just ride for us and you just make sure we straight.” Something tells us we haven’t heard the last of the rapper when it comes to Harris’ campaign. Who knows, maybe we’ll get another song.

“It’s just like, damn, y’all not caring about nobody. Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any f*cking thing,” she said. “[America] don’t pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through sh*t for a very long time. There’s countries [where] kids are getting killed every single day, but because the [US] won’t benefit from that country, they won’t help. I don’t like that America has this superhero cape on. We never did things to be superheroes. We did things for our own convenience.” Check out her latest comments on politics below.

Amber Rose Defends Her Pro-Trump Stance After Fans Attack Her

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Amber Rose is no stranger to controversy. She’s been criticized for being outspoken on sensitive issues, or for airing out the dirty laundry of her polarizing ex, Kanye West, on social media. Her latest controversy may be her biggest yet, however. The model recently posed for a photo with Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, and was immediately criticized by fans online. Many were taken aback to learn Rose was an avid Trump supporter, given the various causes she’s lobbied for over the years.

Amber Rose posted the pic of her and the Trumps on her Instagram with the caption “Trump 2024.” This made it very clear that she was in support of the President’s current campaign, and not merely grabbing a photo with another celebrity. Fans took Rose to task for siding with someone who’s politics have stood in direct opposition to her own. “Imagine being an advocate for women’s rights and endorsing Trump and his party who reversed Roe V Wade,” one user wrote. “Wild.”

Another, actor Amber Whittington, doubled down on Rose’s seemingly contradictory stance. “Damn Amber, You’re a Bisexual woman of color that runs a movement that stands up for Women’s rights and their power against anyone that abuses it,” she wrote. “That’s literally OPPOSITE of what he supports…smdh.” Rose must have read some of these comments, because she to them on IG. She labeled those who dismissed Trump as “brainwashed.” The model also had some harsh words for President Joe Biden.

“Lmaooo y’all think Biden cares about black ppl??? Sad. Do your research,” Rose wrote. “I did. I’ll always put women first.” She then went on to mention trans rights and abortion as topics on which she agrees with the ex-President. “Y’all want biological men in women’s sports,” she added. “Trump supports the most reasonable compromise on abortion. Stop being brainwashed, cuz WE’RE ppl of color. Make your own decisions.”

Amber Rose is one of the most notable Trump supporters in the hip-hop world since her aforementioned ex, Kanye West, met with the President in 2018. The rapper also ran against Trump in the 2020 election.

Donald Trump Blasts Howard Stern During Overnight Rant On Social Media

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump slammed his former friend, Howard Stern, in a lengthy rant on his media platform, Truth Social, in the middle of the night. At approximately 2:00 AM, EST on Saturday, the former president labeled Stern “disloyal” and accused him of going “woke.”

“The real Howard Stern is a weak, pathetic, and disloyal guy, who lost his friends and MUCH of his audience,” Trump posted. “Until just recently, I haven’t heard his name mentioned in years. I did his show many times in the good old days, and then he went Woke, and nobody cares about him any longer. I don’t know what they (really!) pay him, but it shouldn’t be much. His influence is gone, and without that, he’s got NOTHING – Just a broken weirdo, unattractive both inside and out, trying like hell to be relevant!”

The comments come after Stern criticized Trump during a recent episode of his radio show. He had described “woke” as a “compliment.” “To me the opposite of woke, is being asleep,” he said. “And if woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I’m for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you f*cking want.” He went on to reflect on his appreciation for the COVID-19 vaccine. “Fucking science. This fucking country is so great,” he added.

Attacking Stern wasn’t the only topic of Trump’s late-night rant. He also went after Joe Biden, his handling of the United Auto Workers strike, electric cars, and China. “This wasn’t Biden’s idea, he can’t put two sentences together. It was the idea of the Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, & Communists who control him and who, in so doing, are DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY!” Trump wrote.

Afroman Launches His Presidential Campaign

April 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Afroman might be known for his classic stoner anthems. However, dope raps aren’t the only thing on his resume. Now he’s added politics, as he sets to blaze a new trail, the campaign trail. While it might seem farfetched, Afroman has set his plan in motion. According to documents obtained by TMZ, he officially turned in the necessary documents to run for our nation’s highest elected position. Afroman didn’t get high and forget to turn in his documents.

Reportedly, he turned in all the necessary documents on April 18, just in time for 4/20. Since filing the paperwork, Afroman’s presidential committee is named, “Joseph Afroman Foreman for President.” Although we all thought he would be running for the green party, Afroman is running as an Independent. The “Because I Got High” rapper announced his presidential run back in December 2022 during a concert in Missouri. While we’re already thinking about the 2024 election, Afroman has dubbed it the “20-20-FRO” election.

Afroman’s Blazin’ Up The Polls

A post shared by O.G. Afroman (@ogafroman)

While it may be no secret, Afroman’s campaign platform will focus (unsurprisingly) on the national legalization of marijuana. However, it’s still unclear where he stands on international and domestic issues. Since filing the official presidential candidacy paperwork two days shy of 4/20, it’s clear Afroman is more than serious about his election run. The “Colt .45” rapper has his priorities straight and is making an honest attempt to run for president by officially throwing his name in the hat. While some might see him as a one-hit wonder looking to get a few clicks, he’s clearly put the work in.

Although it remains a mystery as to what his overall campaign strategy is. It’s nice to see someone running with a few new ideas on how they can help better the country. Afroman isn’t the first celebrity to take a swing at politics, especially running for the nation’s highest office. However, he is the first to make his bid official for the 2024 election. It remains to be seen if any other celebs will throw their name in the running. Though Ye did mention running again in 2024, it’s safe to say we probably won’t see his name on the ballot. Does Afroman have your vote? How was your 4/20? Let HNHH know in the comments below!
