TX-SEN: Kamala Harris makes last-minute pitch for Jasmine Crockett with robocall

[RandySF]

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has recorded a robocall for U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett to turn out voters for the Dallas congresswoman in Tuesday’s hard-fought Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

“Texas has the chance to send a fighter like Jasmine Crockett to the United States Senate,” Harris says in the call, which was first shared with The Texas Tribune. “Jasmine has the experience and record to hold Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies accountable.”

The call gives Crockett a boost from one of her party’s biggest stars in the homestretch of her primary against state Rep. James Talarico, D-Austin. They are vying to win the Democratic nomination for the seat currently held by Republican Sen. John Cornyn, who is in his own hotly contested primary.

“It’s time to turn Texas blue,” Harris says at the end of the call.

2. I thought this was still a free country.

I support Talarico but nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head to vote for Crockett.

3. Then if it is okay to manipulate

and have big democratic names try to influence the outcome this way, I'm sure we can all agree it's okay if all the Talarico supporters just don't vote for Crockett if she's the one on the ticket in November, if they feel this was a bad thing to do? No one's holding a gun to their head either.

This just reeks of what happened with Bernie in 2016. Big names in the democratic party need to stay out of it until there is a nominee, not try to put their finger on the scales.

4. Nobody has to do what Kamala urged.

If you want to go down this path we can, starting with Bernie's endorsement of Fetterman.

Politicians sometimes endorse people who turn out to be bad or showed their true selves after the fact. We shouldn't blame them or be too hard on them for not knowing all the facts.

8. So let's not crap all over Kamala.

9. Bob Menendez and Rob Menendez are two different people

Bob was a Senator. Rob is in the House.

11. Fetterman, Gabbard, Turner, Platner -- it's a feature, not a bug.

[SunImp]

12. Are they as bad as a Sexual predator Coumo, indicted Bob Menendez or briber Henry Cuellar

or Tricia Cotham who switched parties & gave the GOP a Trifecta? Gabbarf is up there followed by planter, but the rest are just shitbags

15. Out of those 4 Nina Turner isn't bad

Yes she said some critical things about Biden but I favored her in the primary because I feel she would have been better opposition in the scenario which played out where Republicans control the House or Trump is back as President.

13. They keyword is alleged

He was never convicted of anything.

14. The release of the epstein files shows that you can commit sex crimes and rarely face accountability

Washington Post reported when Blasey Ford testified that less than 1% of rapes result in felony convictions.

10. Fuck that, endorsements have always been a thing.

Speaking of Bernie Sanders, he himself is not shy of endorsing candidates in the primaries, it's just that we DEMOCRATIC voters often don't listen to him.

5. Crockett was a huge early supporter of Harris. This is politics. She is not a current office holder.

She can advocate and support whomever she wishes. She is a private citizen.

6. Her endorsement may have an opposite effect in Texas
