Dana White slams Kamala Harris and alleged use of "Obama playbook strategy"
Dana White criticized Vice President Kamala Harris' proclamations for the "need for change and her hope for the future" during the recent Madison Square Garden rally for Donald Trump. White highlighted Harris' lack of originality, stating that she attempts to utilize the “Obama playbook” while failing to address pressing issues.
White emphasized the need for real change, asserting that Harris' approach to leadership mirrors that of former President Barack Obama. He expressed concern over her perceived incompetence and said:
"She [Kamala] talks a lot about the need for change and her hope for the future. Hope and change—does that sound familiar? She can use the old Obama playbook, but she's not Obama, and she is no agent of change. She is the sitting Vice President of the United States right now. What she hopes is that voters will focus on the future because she doesn't want us looking at the last four years to see what we really need to change."
