Fat Joe and Too Short sat down with Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night (October 15) to discuss a range of pressing issues ahead of this year’s upcoming election .
“There’s a lot of misinformation out there suggesting to people that their vote doesn’t matter,” Harris said when asked why voting is more important than ever. “As far as I’m concerned, you should never let anyone make you Stay silent because when you vote, you actually have the power to decide the future of our country.”
Harris also expressed her concerns about the spread of misinformation and its detrimental impact on this year’s election. “When you tell people they can’t trust the system, what are they likely to do? Not participate,” she said. “That’s why I always say never let anyone take you out of the game. That’s the first step to never being able to make a difference.
She spoke without mincing words about the possible consequences of a potential Trump victory and how Project 2025 would wipe out middle-class citizens.
“If Donald Trump wins again, they have a plan for him,” she said. “So, I encourage everyone to Google it. It’s an 800, 900 page document. They published it [and] gave it. It would do things like eliminate overtime pay. It would eliminate the Department of Education, including the Department of Enlightenment. It would try to destroy our democracy and really target the middle class. So this guy will pose like, ‘Hey, support me because I’m strong,’ but he’s weak.
