From the New York Post: A 90-second video of “typical” men expressing their support for Kamala Harris was widely mocked online Friday — with critics trashing the awkward spot as the “cringiest political ad ever” and an “absurd piece of rubbish.”
The clip features a slew of apparent farmers, car enthusiasts and gym junkies boasting about their masculinity as they repeatedly insist, “I’m a man” and “I’m man enough.”
The script then takes a hard feminist turn as the presumed actors — most of whom were filmed doing outdoor activities or perched on trucks — start rattling off ways they aren’t afraid to support women.
“You think I’m afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat carburetors for breakfast,” one man oddly says before another chimes in: “I’ll tell you another thing I’m sure as s–t not afraid of … women.”
The bizarre video continues, as the men say, “If they wanna control their bodies, I say go for it… If they want to start a family, I’m not afraid of families … If they want to be childless cat ladies … have all the cats you want…. If a woman wants to be president … I hope she has the guts to look me right in the eye and accept my full-throated endorsement.”
The video is being widely mocked on social media, but the jury is still out on whether it was created by Democrats as a serious promotion of Kamala Harris, or whether it was created by someone on the right and intended to be a mockery of Harris.
“I present to you the cringiest political ad ever created,” quipped X user Josh Walkos.

“Must-see Kamala ad. Not only do they have no idea how actual men speak, they couldn’t find any convincing male actors,” mocked David Reaboi of the Claremont Institute.

However, the referenced Instagram page, by Jacob Reed, has now been made private.
