A Night of Truth At the DNC
What a show-stopping kickoff the DNC delivered on Day 1—like fireworks lighting up a stormy sky, the speeches were powerful, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
Jasmine Crockett's wake-up call hit hard: One candidate worked at McDonald’s while she was in college at an HBCU. The other was born with a silver spoon and helped his father in the family business—housing discrimination, Crockett pointed out. She became a career prosecutor, while he became a career criminal, with 34 felonies, two impeachments, and one porn star to prove it.Crockett reminded everyone, Kamala Harris has a résumé. Donald Trump has a rap sheet.
"The question before us is, will a vindictive, vile villain violate voters’ vision for a better America or not?” She urged us to stay vigilant against those threatening our electoral process.
Come on with it—Rep. Jim Clyburn’s words were a powerful beacon, letting us know that Project 2025 ain't nothing but “Jim Crow 2.0.” He invoked a timeless biblical reference to remind us of our enduring strength: “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair (2 Corinthians 4:8).” His message was crystal clear: despite the challenges, our resolve remains unshaken.
Oh, but Sen. Raphael Warnock didn’t hold back. He did it like only a preacher can: "Kamala Harris and Tim Walz represent the way forward. We're not going back," he said. "We're not going back because we are the United States of America. We always dream about the future." And he didn’t stop there: "People who have no vision traffic in division. He does not know how to lead us, so he wants to divide us. America, make no mistake, Donald Trump is a plague on the American conscience."Now, this is what put the icing on the cake: When Warnock referenced 54 once holding the Bible in his hand… Warnock said, "He should try reading it. It says, 'Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8) Warnock said. "It says, 'Love your neighbor as yourself," (Matthew 22:39)
Together, these speeches were more than just words—they were a rallying cry, and they had us pulling out the Kleenex to wipe the tears from our eyes.
Crockett warned us about potential threats to our elections, Clyburn linked our current struggles to a long history of fighting for justice, and Warnock stressed the need to defend our values.
