Former Vice President Kamala Harris made waves during a campaign appearance at a New Hampshire brewery over the weekend, delivering an unusually candid speech about Democratic frustration and even joking about hurling objects at her television.
Harris was in Concord stumping for Democratic Senate candidate Chris Pappas when she took the stage at Feathered Friend Brewing. What followed was a remarkably unfiltered assessment of how Democrats have processed the political landscape over the past year and a half.
Harris Unleashes on Political Frustrations
During her remarks, Harris didn’t hold back in describing the emotional state of the Democratic base. She catalogued a litany of feelings that she said have gripped her party.
“So, for the last year and a half, we have been pissed. We’ve been depressed. We’ve been angry! We’ve been frustrated! We’ve been feeling alone, hopeless, powerless,” Harris told the crowd, according to The Gateway Pundit.
The former Vice President then turned to a more personal confession, suggesting that many Democrats have been expressing themselves in colorful language while watching the news.
“We’ve gone through the last year and a half, where many of us, whether we admit it or not, have been saying things to the television that we would not say where we pray,” she said.
Then came the admission that raised eyebrows: “Some of us have been throwing things.”
Message of Moving Forward
Despite the acknowledgment of such intense frustration, Harris pivoted to tell her audience that it was time to move past those feelings.
“Hey guys, that phase is over. That phase is over,” she declared. “That phase where we felt hopeless and powerless is over.”
Harris then attempted to frame the current political moment in historical terms, invoking the nation’s founders and the constitutional system of checks and balances.
Constitutional Framework Invoked
The former Vice President argued that the founders had anticipated moments of political crisis exactly like the present one.
“Let’s keep in mind something New Hampshire knows quite well: the founders, the founders imagined a moment like this. They imagined a moment where there would be a tyrant in office. They imagined a moment where there would be feckless people who are supposed leaders who bend a knee at the foot of the tyrant,” Harris said.
She continued by explaining that this foresight led to the creation of three co-equal branches of government designed to provide checks and balances against any single branch gaining too much power.
Harris went on to discuss what she characterized as “tyranny” and “brutality,” while also taking aim at the Supreme Court, though specific details of those criticisms were not elaborated in the available reporting.
Behind the Bar After the Speech
Following her remarks, Harris was reportedly seen behind the brewery’s bar, where she served drinks to attendees. The outlet described the scene as including “cackles and screams,” though it provided no additional context about what prompted those reactions.
The appearance was part of Harris’s efforts to support Pappas in his Senate campaign, bringing a high-profile Democratic figure to the early primary state of New Hampshire.
Political Context
The event highlights the continued engagement of national Democratic figures in down-ballot races as the party works to maintain and expand its Senate presence. New Hampshire has long been a competitive battleground state, and Senate races there tend to draw significant national attention and resources.
Harris’s unusually frank discussion of Democratic emotional responses to recent political developments also underscores the intense feelings that continue to animate the party’s base. Her acknowledgment of anger, depression, and even physical reactions like throwing objects at televisions represents a candid admission that political leaders don’t always make in public settings.
The former Vice President’s attempt to channel those emotions into action through constitutional channels reflects a broader Democratic strategy of emphasizing institutional norms and democratic processes in their political messaging.
Whether Harris’s raw acknowledgment of Democratic frustration will resonate with New Hampshire voters or prove persuasive in Pappas’s Senate race remains to be seen. The brewery appearance certainly generated attention, though reactions to the event are likely to vary depending on one’s political perspective.
