Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has taken a simple approach to its attacks on Donald Trump and his allies–and it’s working. That’s according to The New Abnormal co-hosts Danielle Moodie and Andy Levy, who praise Harris and her surrogates for the “official push” to “point out over and over again that a lot of these positions are bad policy. A lot of them are downright evil, but a lot of them are just straight up weird,” says Levy.
According to Moodie, the word “weird” is registering because “it’s easy and everybody kind of knows what it means.” Moodie adds when words like “dictator” or “authoritarian” are used, “I don’t think that most Americans really understand what that means.”
