A prankster infiltrated the Democrat National Convention and coaxed some shocking answers out of attendees, including some elected officials.
Lionel McGloin, who runs the ‘No Cap on God’ YouTube page, spent the week in Chicago and talked to some of the big stars of the DNC and spoofed the ‘brat’ theme of many Kamala Harris supporters.
His best answers came from some of the average attendees, including one who said ‘yas queen’ to ideas as wild as free abortions, gender-affirming care for migrants and higher tax brackets for rich white men.
However, to show the groupthink of liberals, he got New York Congressman Jerry Nadler to agree to something similar in the same video.
‘If we have a Democratic Congress, we certainly will,’ Nadler told McGloin when asked if he would follow up on higher tax brackets for ‘rich white men’.

One male attendee explained to McGloin why Harris appeals to liberals.
‘She’s brat,’ he said, referencing the Charli XCX album that has become a meme among the left.
‘Brat is like, you’re a party girl but you go out really late at night and you fall asleep with your makeup on,’ the man said.
But by far, the funniest answers came from some of the progressive attendees, including one who couldn’t decide between living in a democracy or legalizing abortion.
‘I feel like that’s almost not possible to answer, I couldn’t pick one or the other,’ she said, before leaning toward abortion access over democracy.
He later asks one woman a series of ‘yes queen’ or no queen’ questions about whether she’d want free abortions, gender-affirming care for migrants, banned standardized testing and higher taxes for rich white men.
Another young woman dished on the secret of working in Democrat politics in Washington is that Republican men are more attractive the left-leaning ones, but the GOP men ‘are evil’.

The host at one point got Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey to consider legalizing cocaine.
Overall, the progressives seemed to have fallen in line with what California Governor Gavin Newsom joked was a ’30-minute primary’ to support Harris unconditionally.
They’ve also fallen in line on the ‘brat’ meme in support of Harris, a key organ in the fight against Donald Trump among Gen Z.
More than 41 million Gen Z voters will be eligible to cast ballots in the 2024 election across the country including more than eight million young voters who are newly eligible to vote since the 2022 midterms.
It’s the first presidential election playing out on TikTok and with more online influencers and streaming options than ever before, so the campaigns are utilizing many avenues to reach the next generation where they are.
It’s an extremely diverse generation. Nearly half of Gen Z youths are people of color. One in five identifies as LGBTQ+. Not only are they more diverse, they participate.
As Democrats and Republicans work on engaging young people, an exclusive new poll for DailyMail.com shows Harris is seeing a surge in support when it comes to voters ages 18 to 29 compared to when President Biden topped the Democratic ticket.
It found 48 percent of young voters now back Harris while just 32 percent back Trump. 9 percent support independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.

When the same polling was conducted in July, Harris had 37 percent support and Trump had 26 percent support, the poll conducted by J.L. Partners found.
With that, the campaigns are taking multiple approaches to reaching the key group of voters.
As President Biden exited the presidential race and Harris took over the top of the Democratic ticket, TikTok and other social media platforms have been a huge asset in the first few weeks of her campaign.
Kamala Harris supporters online and her campaign have embraced ‘brat’ after pop star Charlie XCX wrote ‘Kamala IS brat’ on X while the clip of her speech with the line ‘you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’ went viral
It was as if the internet was taken over by supporters using coconut emojis and palm trees as older voters had to ask their kids and younger colleagues what it means to be ‘brat’ following pop star Charlie XCX’s endorsement on X ‘Kamala IS brat.’
The @KamalaHQ account now has more than 3.4 million followers with its following doubling overnight on from Sunday, July 21 to Monday, July 22 after Biden’s exit, according to the campaign.
Its number of followers has grown to more than eight times what it was when it was @BidenHQ, making the @KamalaHQ TikTok the most followed Harris social media asset of her entire campaign.
With its rebranding, @KamalaHQ has pulled in more total views on TikTok than Donald Trump’s account with more than 462 million video views and 66 million likes.
The campaign is using a mix of viral moments and trends in an effort to break through to voters across platforms in a fragmented media environment.
Behind the humor and memes, the campaign said it is focused on forcing a visual contrast between Harris and Trump.
