Michael Moore Warns 'Move To The Center' Could Cost Harris The Presidency
HuffPost
The Oscar-winning filmmaker argued Friday that the vice president could lose the election to Donald Trump by abandoning “her more progressive positions.”
Michael Moore believes Donald Trump “is going down in flames” in this year’s presidential election, but is also warning Vice President Kamala Harris not to fumble her chances with her party’s left wing.
The progressive director was among the earliest big-name Democrats to call for President Joe Biden to drop out of the race over concerns about his cognitive decline, and continued Friday to champion Harris on his Substack as the right replacement to defeat Trump in November.
“if you know to really read the polls, or if you have access to the various private and internal polling being conducted by and shared only amongst the elites, Wall Street, and Members of Congress,” he wrote, “then you already know that this election was over weeks ago.”
Moore argued that “Trump’s momentum has come to a screeching halt” in recent months and that even Republicans have tired of his “nonstop drone of oral diarrhea” about Harris’ race, lies about Haitian migrants eating pets and rants about Hannibal Lecter.
But the filmmaker and antiwar activist has also been staunchly critical of ongoing U.S. military support for Israel amid the ongoing bombardment of Gaza. He slammed the Democratic National Convention earlier this summer for not inviting a single Palestinian speaker, said last month that Biden is being “played like a sucker” by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has in his newsletter previously decried the U.S.′ “funding and arming the slaughter of children.”
