We are now quite deep into the propaganda portion of the transition from Biden to Harris. How deep? NBC News is basically running youth commercials as “reports”.
Watch, as we wonder whether Antonia Hylton’s report qualifies as an in-kind donation to the Harris campaign:
ANTONIA HYLTON: In battleground Michigan, young voters are processing President Joe Biden's historic decision to exit the race. Already, momentum is shifting to his Vice President, Kamala Harris.
AUDREY CLAYTON: I think she really has an opportunity now to rebrand herself and introduce herself to the country in a new way.
HYLTON: These Gen Zers are all Democrats and have never had the opportunity to vote for a president who wasn't in their 70s or 80s.
What do you think it is about her?
NABILA CHOWDHURY: We know that she’s a powerhouse speaker.
DIVA PATEL: She has a level of authenticity that, you know- you don't always see from politicians.
HYLTON: For weeks, young people have been sharing memes across social media, highlighting Harris' speeches and affectations. One Gen Z favorite --
VOICE_ALTERED TIK TOK VIDEO: You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
HYLTON: A may 2023 speech in which Harris shared something her mother used to say.
HARRIS: You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
Endless airing of Kamala-themed Tik Tok memes are the 2024 equivalent of Bill Clinton playing the saxophone on Arsenio Hall. A contrived event made to look spontaneous and intended to convey some connection to “the youths”. This is CCP-level propaganda from a Regime Media that were despondent until, literally, a couple of days ago.
Again, the whole thing played like a campaign commercial. Even the part of the story dealing with protests over the war in Gaza were met with hope that Harris would deliver a cease-fire.
As is often the case with propaganda, it does not square up with real life. 10-second Google searches of the four panelists determined that only the young man, Chandler Ramsey, did not have any readily apparent affiliations to partisan organizations. And perhaps this may be why he drew the least amount of time on camera. Among the young women, a different story:
- Audrey Clayton is the co-president of the University of Michigan chapter of “Students for Biden”.
- Diva Patel was a staffer for Governor Gretchen Whitmer until December of 2023.
- Nabila Chowdhury is an intern for U.S. Senator Ed Markey (D-MA).
In simple terms, 75% of the youth panel assembled by Antonia Hylton were current or aspiring Democrat operatives. Something to consider in the midst of this onslaught of pro-Harris propaganda put forth by the Regime Media.

LESTER HOLT: And more now on our top story, the seismic shakeup in the 2024 race. Before withdrawing, President Biden was losing ground with younger voters. Antonia Hylton went to a key battleground to find out if Kamala Harris can win them back.
ANTONIA HYLTON: In battleground Michigan, young voters are processing President Joe Biden's historic decision to exit the race. Already, momentum is shifting to his Vice President, Kamala Harris.
AUDREY CLAYTON: I think she really has an opportunity now to rebrand herself and introduce herself to the country in a new way.
HYLTON: These Gen Zers are all Democrats and have never had the opportunity to vote for a president who wasn't in their 70s or 80s.
What do you think it is about her?
NABILA CHOWDHURY: We know that she’s a powerhouse speaker.
DIVA PATEL: She has a level of authenticity that, you know- you don't always see from politicians.
HYLTON: For weeks, young people have been sharing memes across social media, highlighting Harris' speeches and affectations. One Gen Z favorite --
VOICE_ALTERED TIK TOK VIDEO: You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
HYLTON: A may 2023 speech in which Harris shared something her mother used to say.
HARRIS: You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
PATEL: Growing up, I didn't think that an Indian woman like me could even be involved in politics.
HYLTON: They're worried about reproductive rights, gun control and climate change.
CLAYTON: She has been the Biden campaign's most effective messenger on the issue of abortion access and reproductive freedom.
HYLTON: But young people have been unsure about Biden. In Michigan, a state with a large Muslim population, many communities are outraged by the Israel-Hamas war and grateful to Harris, who has long pushed for a ceasefire.
CHOWDHURY: That's the bare minimum that we've been asking for. And I think the main issue is that we're not seeing any change. I think we will stay uncommitted until we can build trust.
HYLTON: A Tufts University study found Michigan had the highest youth turnout in the nation in 2022.
CHANDLER RAMSEY: I feel like this country has a long history of not really listening to the younger population. And I think Gen Z is at a point where we're just tired of feeling unheard.
HYLTON: Do you think she is still going to have to fight to earn the youth vote?
CLAYTON: Oh, yeah.
HYLTON: But for now, they say she’s been able to breathe new life into an election they thought had gone stale. Antonia Hylton, NBC News, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
