Barbra Streisand Endorses Kamala Harris-Walz Presidential Ticket
On Thursday, August 15th, the Jewish Women For Kamala online Zoom rally featured none other than legendary singer and actress Barbra Streisand as its star performer. Streisand was passionate about her support for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz presidential ticket, highlighting the duo’s commitment to fighting for the values that so many Americans hold dear.
Why Streisand is Endorsing Kamala Harris-Walz
Streisand believes that Kamala Harris, a "terrific combination of both compassion and strength, a joyful warrior who will fight for the values that so many of us hold dear," embodies the principles of unity, justice, and equality that are essential for the United States. She praised Harris’ unwavering commitment to supporting programs that benefit gender equality, social justice, and voting rights.
Criticism of Donald Trump
Streisand strongly criticized Donald Trump’s approach to leadership, calling him someone who cares only about himself and not about the country. She accused him of constantly putting down America and seeking to undermine its values. She also addressed his recent comments about Harris, stating, "I don’t think he even respects women… Clearly, in some people’s eyes, women don’t count… But we will in November when they count the votes!"
Praising Kamala Harris’s Values
Streisand highlighted Harris’ commitment to protecting women’s reproductive rights, social justice, and healthcare, stating, "Kamala Harris understands just what a privilege it is to be able to vote! And her commitment to healthcare, Social Security, education, and combatting climate change are the policies of someone who cares about the future of our country, our children, and our planet… and not just the profits from big oil."
Feminist Perspective
Streisand emphasized the importance of female leadership, saying, "Women are nurturers who take care of others and can think beyond themselves, while tagging Trump as someone who cares only about himself, and insults any woman who questions him by calling them ‘nasty.’"
Danger of Trump’s Leadership
Streisand warned about the potential consequences of Trump’s presidency, stating that he "wants a blueprint for a dictatorship, with conservative Christian values injected into government." She criticized Trump’s appointing conservative Supreme Court justices, who overrode half a century of precedent by overturning Roe v. Wade, saying, "Clearly in some people’s eyes, women don’t count… oh, but we will in November when they count the votes!"
Condemnation of Project 2025
Streisand vehemently condemned the Project 2025 document, which aims to replace non-partisan federal workers with political appointees loyal to Trump and inject conservative Christian values into government. She warned that this "blueprint for a dictatorship" will give Trump and his administration unfettered control, threatening the very foundations of democracy.
Conclusion
Streisand ended her endorsement speech by expressing her confidence in the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz presidential ticket, saying, "Our society will flourish with a smart, experienced woman who will defend our rights and send Trump back to where he belongs – in his golf cart, lying about his scores."
