CNN Mocked For Touting ‘White Dudes For Harris’ Zoom Call Featuring Pete Buttigieg, David Hogg

July 30, 2024

A segment on CNN touting a Zoom call called ‘White Dudes For Harris’ was ridiculed when the host actually named off some of the ‘dudes.’

CNN host Pamela Brown introduced the racially defined group formed to raise money and support for Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris replaced a white dude as the presumptive Democrat nominee for president once the party realized he was destined to lose the election.

While most dudes abide, this group should hide. Brown set up the segment as the left-wing group being “some big Democratic names” representing dudes on the left.

And here they are. Brace yourself for this ragtag group of uber-cool bros.

“You’ve got some big Democratic names who are set to be on the Zoom call. You have David Hogg was – is with us right now.” Brown added, “You have Roy Cooper, the former governor of North Carolina.”

“You have Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Congressman Adam Schiff, lots of big names.”

CNN says there will be "big names" on the 'White Dudes For Harris' Zoom call tonight

The big names: David Hogg, Pete Buttigieg and Adam Schiff

White Dudes For Harris Lacking In The Dude Department

I know what you’re thinking. The party that can’t even tell you what a woman is is out here touting their dudes in support of who they hope will end up being Madam President.

But still – This is the best they had to offer to represent the male side of the Democratic Party?

Was Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger not available? What about that dude who kept stealing everybody’s luggage?

All of this aside, most critics on social media pointed out the obvious racism that, had the other candidate for President engaged in such ridiculousness, would have been slammed as a Klan member.

“Imagine if Trump had a ‘White Dudes for Trump’ Zoom call,” one person wrote.

Another joked, “If those are ‘big names’, I’d hate to see the small ones.”

“This is cringe on a whole new level,” one X user fired back. “Like really creepy cringe level.”

Trump Had Hulk Hogan, Kamala Has Paternity Pete

It’s quite the contrast having those gentlemen mentioned just two weeks after Trump and the RNC watched WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan tear down the house.

Hogan v. Hogg, Schiff, and Buttigieg in a handicap match would be ratings gold, by the way.

Schiff is consistently mocked by Trump as being a ‘pencil neck’.

And then there’s Buttigieg. When he isn’t taking two months off for paternity leave, dude is investing in female crash dummies to fight gender inequality.

The ‘white dudes’ group was founded by Ross Morales Rocketto.

“We are organizing ourselves this time because we aren’t going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology,” Rocketto said in a statement to the Associated Press.
