Cardi B fans of course know that she’s something of a crazy person and a history buff. See also his 2023 appearance on “Hot Ones” when she abandoned science on Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the New Deal. And in her speech, she laid out Harris’ arguments with a combination of policy detail and emotional appeal.

“She’s passionate, she’s compassionate, she’s empathetic and most importantly, she’s not delusional. No, yeah, yeah. Kamala recognized that this country is in danger, that the economy needs to strengthen, that the cost of food and the cost of living are too high,” she said.

“I believe her when she sticks to her finances, and milk won’t break the bank because she’s going to pass a price gouging ban on groceries. And she told me to my face, so she better not lie to my face, right? she joked.

“I believe her when she says she will make housing more affordable by providing Americans with $25,000 in down payment assistance,” she continued as she excited the crowd. “She promises a lot, and I believe her when she says she will give a tax cut to 100 million middle-class Americans. That’s a lot of Americans, and it includes $6,000 for parents during the child’s first year of life. Remember when they did that? Do you all remember when this country did this?

Then she turned to Trump, reminding the crowd of his recent threat to “protect” women “whether they like it or not.”

“Protecting women, especially maternal and mental health care, is not about telling them what to do with their bodies, but about supporting them and providing them with the care they need for what they choose to do of their body’” says Cardi.

“People like Donald Trump don’t believe that women deserve rights, and when those rights are taken away, they are no longer available,” she continued. “When a mother is going through postpartum, he’s not there to hold her hand. When a child is in foster care or a shelter, because his mother is not mentally stable or financially stable to care for him, he is not there… These people outside of Planned Parenthood who scream in the women’s faces, they are not there. . When women go through hardships, they don’t do it.

“If his definition of ‘protection’ is not freedom of choice, if his definition of ‘protection’ is guaranteeing our daughters fewer rights than our mothers, then I don’t want it. I don’t want it,” she said, then singing, she added, “I don’t want it.” I don’t want it.

“We all knew Trump was a scammer, but pushing women away — and I’m a scammer too, yes — but pushing women out of their rights to their bodies is a dirty job,” she said. At this, Cardi came down hard on Trump’s various scams.

“Ripping Americans out of their hard earned money selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers and the Trump Bible, by the way, the watches cost $100,000 yeah, yeah, made in China, another country he has discredited, it is also mean. Let me ask you a question… Do we really trust this man with our economy? Our economy, a man who only cares about getting richer and cutting taxes for his billionaire friends,” she continued.

“Today it’s your wallet. Tomorrow he will cheat you out of your health care rights, and that is a fact. I want you to hear this again today. He shakes you up,” she added, pointing out Trump’s recent sneaker line. “Donald Trump explains that he has an idea of ​​a plan, but in America, the only idea of ​​a plan he has is a plan to shake you up. Yeah, because we know what he’s really preparing us for, what he’s preparing us for. He sends much more than watches and sneakers. He talks to us about intolerance, misogyny, division, health and confusion. He wants us to hate ourselves.

As she finished her speech, the rapper said, “I’m with Kamala. I believe in her and in America. I believe in you to show up on Tuesday, show up and show up on Tuesday, turn the page and win this thing.
