How Authentic Is Kamala Harris’ Online Support? Influencers Have Doubts<\/span><\/p>\n

Via American Greatness<\/a>,<\/em><\/p>\n

The overnight transformation of Vice President Kamala Harri<\/strong>s from an abrasive, word salad dispensing political opportunist into a hip, approachable political savior has been extraordinary, to put it mildly.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But a number of Gen-Z online content creators are calling into question whether any of it is authentic<\/strong> and some are saying it\u2019s part of an astroturfed effort to make Harris more appealing to younger voters.<\/p>\n

Comedian Steve McGrew shared an email that appears to offer him money, in exchange for posting positive videos about Harris.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to post a video of Kamala Harris and her moronic takes every day until the election.<\/p>\n

This is her famous \u201ccoconut tree\u201d speech from 2023. pic.twitter.com\/Ur32WLtB64<\/a><\/p>\n

A recent Harris campaign rally in Atlanta drew large numbers of enthusiastic participants but the purported groundswell of support for the presumptive Democratic nominee didn\u2019t necessarily reflect reality.<\/p>\n

Many of the attendees were paid to attend or came to hear Megan Thee Stallion perform<\/strong> and began streaming out of the venue halfway through Harris\u2019 speech.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s event was not a \u201crally\u201d for Kamala. This was a trashy vile concert for a twerking Meghan Thee Stallion that Kamala was invited to speak at. Most of the attendees received a $150 incentive bonus and left halfway into her speech. She is WEIRD\ud83d\ude08 pic.twitter.com\/IJ1L7Ac1zw<\/a><\/p>\n

Other content creators told the Daily Caller<\/a> that recent lighthearted Harris videos poking fun at coconut tree anecdote are simply another way for Democrats to create the appearance of support for their candidate through manipulation of social media.<\/p>\n

The videos are intended to convey an attitude of organic support for Harris having made a transition, As Van Jones put it, \u201cShe\u2019s gone from cringe to cool.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

They trying to get ME to be a paid shill for Kamala. GFYS! But let this be a lesson\u2026 they are PAYING people to pretend to support KumSwalla pic.twitter.com\/kokPoAHvyK<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Steve Mudflap McGrew\u2019s REMASCULATE podcast (@REMASCULATE) July 28, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n

Chrissy Clark is a Gen-Z conservative commentator who says the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is using an \u201cinfluencer dark network\u201d to push online trends that are intended to build up Harris\u2019 image and make her seem cool and approachable.<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Caller<\/a>, the DNC has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a media company representing young TikTok influencers and it\u2019s expected that Harris will capitalize on those relationships as her campaign swings into gear.<\/p>\n

But getting these younger voters to share memes and laugh at Harris won\u2019t necessarily translate into getting them to vote for her.<\/p>\n

Gen-Z has likely noticed that the same people telling them that Kamala is a great candidate this month, are the same ones who were telling them Biden was fit for the job last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
