A prankster infiltrated the Democratic National Convention and got some shocking responses from attendees, including some elected officials.
Lionel McGloin, who runs the YouTube page ‘No Cap on God,’ spent the week in Chicago and spoke to some of the DNC’s biggest stars and poked fun at the ‘brat’ theme of many Kamala Harris supporters.
Her best responses came from some of the average attendees, including one who said “yes, queen” to such outlandish ideas as free abortions, gender-affirming health care for immigrants and higher tax brackets for wealthy white men.
However, to show the collective thinking 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 the issue of higher tax brackets for “rich white men.”
A prankster infiltrated the Democratic National Convention and elicited some shocking responses from attendees, including one who said “yes, queen” to such outlandish ideas as free abortions, gender-affirming care for minors and higher tax brackets for wealthy white men.
A male aide explained to McGloin why Harris appeals to liberals.
“She’s a spoiled 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 the funniest responses undoubtedly came from some of the progressive attendees, including one who couldn’t decide between living in a democracy or legalizing abortion.
“I feel like it’s almost impossible to answer that, I couldn’t choose one or the other,” she said, before leaning toward abortion access over democracy.
Later, he asks a woman a series of “yes queen” or “no queen” questions about whether she would want free abortions, gender-affirming care for immigrants, banned standardized testing, and higher taxes on wealthy white men.
Another young woman shared the secret of working in Democratic politics in Washington: Republican men are more attractive than left-leaning men, but GOP men “are evil.”

At one point, the host got Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey to consider legalizing cocaine.
Progressives, by and large, appear to have followed the lead of what California Gov. Gavin Newsom joked was a “30-minute primary” in backing Harris wholeheartedly.
They have also joined the “brat” meme in support of Harris, a key organ in the fight against Donald Trump among Generation Z.
More than 41 million Gen Z voters will be eligible to cast ballots in the 2024 election nationwide, including more than eight million young voters who are newly eligible to vote since the 2022 midterm elections.
It’s the first presidential election to take place on TikTok and with more online influencers and streaming options than ever before, campaigns are using many avenues to reach the next generation where they are.
It’s an extremely diverse generation. Nearly half of Gen Zers are people of color. One in five identifies as LGBTQ+. Not only are they more diverse, they’re also more engaged.
As Democrats and Republicans work to engage young people, a new poll exclusive to DailyMail.com shows Harris is seeing a surge in support when it comes to voters aged 18 to 29 compared to when President Biden led the Democratic ticket.
It found that 48 percent of young voters now support Harris, while only 32 percent support Trump. Nine percent support independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.
But undoubtedly the funniest responses came from some of the progressive attendees, including one (pictured left) who couldn’t decide between living in a democracy or legalizing abortion.
According to CIRCLE, 41 million Gen Z voters are eligible to vote in the 2024 election. Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are trying to appeal to young voters, who have been more engaged than previous generations at their age.
When the same poll was conducted in July, Harris had 37 percent support and Trump had 26 percent support, according to the survey conducted by JL Partners.
Campaigns are therefore taking multiple approaches to reach key voter groups.
With President Biden dropping out of the presidential race and Harris taking over as head of the Democratic ticket, TikTok and other social media platforms have been a huge asset in the early weeks of her campaign.
Supporters of Kamala Harris online and her campaign have embraced the term ‘brat’ after pop star Charlie XCX wrote ‘Kamala IS a brat’ on X while the clip of her speech with the line ‘Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’ went viral
It was as if the internet had been taken over by supporters using coconut and palm tree emojis while older voters had to ask their children and younger colleagues what it means to be a “brat” following pop star Charlie XCX’s endorsement of X “Kamala IS a brat.”
The @KamalaHQ account now has more than 3.4 million followers, and its number doubled overnight from Sunday, July 21, to Monday, July 22, after Biden’s departure, according to the campaign.
Her follower count has grown to more than eight times what it was when she was @BidenHQ, making @KamalaHQ’s TikTok the most followed social media account for Harris throughout her campaign.
With its rebrand, @KamalaHQ has garnered more total views on TikTok than Donald Trump’s account, with over 462 million video views and 66 million likes.
The campaign uses a combination of viral moments and trends in an effort to reach voters across all 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.
