Peak behind the scenes at an unannounced visit to a Harris campaign field office in Pittsburgh by Barack Obama - just hours before he appeared a campaign rally for Kamala Harris. Obama said he was there to “speak some truths” to Black men specifically in a way that struck many as disingenuous.
The techniques he uses in the interaction mirrors those used by the CIA when trying to convert assets they are looking to manipulate. In the video embedded below we see key moments in Obama's speech, alongside explanations of the techniques by an ex-CIA agent. The video of Obama is hard to watch at times and you can tell that he himself isn't comfortable with the job at-hand, as evident by shameful micro expressions (looking down quickly). He nonetheless proceeds and delivers the good for the DNC but, even though he is preaching to the converted (an office full of Kamala supporters employed by the campaign) the vibe is clearly off. Ironically, even though Obama's mission is clearly to shame black men into voting for Kamala, reservations be damned, a different kind of shame is shared by him and those caught by the camera.
“My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama then added it “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”
Kamala Harris by most polls is now behind in all swing states. This appears to be the latest in a series of last ditch efforts to restore her chances but once again it seems to have exposed the campaign, which started under questionable circumstances, to further scrutiny for its ethics.
