Active Military Members Hit Kamala With The Ultimate Fact Check

Active U.S. Military members responded to Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris‘ false claim during last week’s debate about the Biden-Harris administration supposedly removing all military personnel from combat zones.

“As of today, there is not one member of the United States Military who is in active duty in a combat zone, in any war zone around the world, for the first time this century,” Harris falsely boasted during the debate.

During the debate, Harris was not fact-checked by ABC moderators, who have been widely ridiculed for their anti-Trump bias. Active military members, however, did chime in.

Video shows military members watching Harris during the debate, with the caption, “full of lies.”

After Harris makes her false claim, one of the military members turns the camera around on himself and other members and says, “So where the f*** are we, right now?”

As highlighted by those in active duty, tens of thousands of U.S. Military members are indeed serving in hostile areas and recognized combat zones.

For example, there are about 2,500 military personnel in Iraq, and around 900 in Syria, fighting Islamic State militants, according to the Department of Defense.

Moreover, a Reuters report from February points out that there are roughly 30,000 U.S. troops scattered in the Middle East, with thousands of additional troops sent to the region since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, which was sparked during Harris and President Joe Biden’s tenure.

Harris’ response also seems to dismiss the sacrifices of military members who have been killed or injured on her watch, following the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In January, for example, three Army Reserve soldiers were killed at a U.S. base in Jordan, during a drone attack from an Iran-backed militia, The New York Times reported. More than 30 other service members were injured.

Since then, eight service members were injured in a drone attack in Syria, and two U.S. Navy SEALS drowned during a mission tied to Iran.

Moreover, families of U.S. troops who have been injured following the withdrawal are harshly criticizing Harris for her lie.

Brad Illerbrunner, whose son was seriously injured in Iraq in December, said Harris’ remarks at the debate “really [hit] below the belt,” the New York Post reported. “She doesn’t even recognize that our own troops are getting hurt.”

“We’re still in war zones,” he said, adding that the VP is “trying to snow the public.”

‘Am I Racist?’ Opens As Third-Highest Grossing Film In The Country

The Daily Wire’s “Am I Racist?” starring Matt Walsh was the third-highest-grossing film on Friday, out-earning a major studio release showing in more than 2,500 theaters.

“Am I Racist?” which premiered Friday, outgrossed Lionsgate’s “The Killer’s Game,” and was the second-biggest new release of the day. “Am I Racist?,” one of only 15 documentaries ever to open in over 1,500 theaters, also had the third-highest opening day gross for a documentary in the last decade.

Audiences are raving about the film, in which Walsh goes deep undercover to expose the inner workings of the diversity, equity, and inclusion industry. The film has a 99% Rotten Tomatoes audience score, and earned an “A” rating from CinemaScore, which grades movies based on audience response. No other new release received an A.

By the end of its second day in theaters, “Am I Racist?” will already be the biggest documentary of the year.

Off to a very strong start. Top three in the box office on opening day, coming in third and easily beating “The Killer’s Game.” That’s a mainstream Hollywood film that opened in a thousand more theaters. Thank you to everyone who supported the film. Let’s keep the momentum going.

Ninety-five percent of audience members said “Am I Racist?” met or exceeded their expectations, according to PostTrak exit polling. Nearly 70% of viewers said the film was “excellent,” and 57% said they would tell their friends to see it in a theater.

Just over 40% of opening day viewers were under 35. And nearly 40% of the opening day audience was non-white, a fact that may come as a shock to anti-racist activist Saira Rao, who has privately slammed “Am I Racist?” as a “Nazi White Supremacy Film.”

Rao is one of several anti-racist activists featured in the film. Another, “White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo, told followers that she got played by the “Borat-style mockumentary.” In the film, Walsh convinces DiAngelo to pay his black producer $30 out of her purse as reparations for slavery.

DiAngelo says that “Am I Racist?” is “designed to humiliate and discredit anti-racist educators and activists.” Walsh responded to her critique on X, saying, “She couldn’t be more correct in that assessment.”

Robin DiAngelo has issued a statement denouncing our film. She claims that the movie is “designed to humiliate and discredit anti-racist educators and activists.” She couldn’t be more correct in that assessment. Thank you, Robin!https://t.co/xOvMUFnuTk
