The 16 Most Extreme and Exotic Moments of the 2024 Democratic National Convention

The 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) has closed but, like its candidate’s views on the issues, much has not been reported. Here are 16 of the most significant events not covered by the legacy media.

1. Planned Parenthood Carried Out Eight Abortions and Nine Vasectomies at the 2024 DNC

Like official statistics about the jobs created by the Biden-Harris administration, the number of abortions and vasectomies carried out during the 2024 Democratic National Convention has been revised downward.

Pro-life sources on the ground reported that Planned Parenthood carried out 25 abortions in a mobile unit near Chicago’s United Center during the first two days of the DNC, which nominated Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president. Thankfully, abortion officials have subsequently clarified that they dispensed the abortion pill mifepristone to fewer than half that many mothers.

“The 25 you refer to was the approximate number of available patient slots,” the Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, based in St. Louis, told The Washington Times via email Wednesday. “We served [sic] 9 vasectomy and 8 medication [chemical] abortion patients between the two days.” The organization claims it did not commit any surgical abortions on site.

Of course, that’s nine more abortions than took place in conjunction with the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, the Constitution Party convention in Salt Lake City, and the Libertarian Party convention in Washington, D.C., combined. 

The 2024 DNC became so abortion-focused that Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) wondered at one point, “Will any abortions be performed on stage?”

2. A U.S. Senator Praised a Riot that Tried to Burn Policemen Alive

Vice President Kamala Harris has attempted to distance herself from her administration’s record by ignoring the last three years (except scattered discussion of her appointees’ sex or ethnicity) and focusing her campaign almost exclusively on her time as California Attorney General — a position she left nearly eight years ago. In her acceptance speech, she asserted (inaccurately) that voters should reject Donald Trump, because he “sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol, where they assaulted law enforcement officers.”

Yet speakers at her own convention praised a crowd that assaulted police and attempted to burn them alive.

“I believe in America, because our fighters fought at Stonewall,” said Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Wednesday night. He was referring to the Stonewall riots, often considered the birthplace of the so-called Gay Liberation movement. On June 29, 1969, the Stonewall Inn became the site of anti-police violence as thousands of LGBT rioters attempted to burn the seedy, Mafia-run bar to the ground … with six New York City police officers inside. “I wanted to kill those cops,” said rioter John O’Brien.” Then-President Barack Obama, who spoke at the DNC Tuesday night, named the Stonewall Inn a national monument in 2016.

It seems only fitting the party of the 2020 BLM/Antifa riots salutes the Woke anti-police rioters of old, as well.

Speaking of incitement …

3. Al Sharpton Accused Former President Donald Trump of Racial Incitement

Few people embody racial incitement as fully as Al Sharpton, the founder of the National Action Network (NAN). His accusation that President Donald Trump fans “racial flames” must qualify as one of the greatest acts of projection in modern American political history.

Sharpton described Trump as “a fellow New Yorker I’ve known for more than 40 years.” He claimed when Trump took out a full-page ad calling for the execution of whomever brutally raped Central Park jogger Trisha Meili in 1989 that “it was then that I saw Trump love to fan racial flames.”

If Al Sharpton considered Donald Trump a racial arsonist in 1989, he should have told Al Sharpton. Before the last presidential election, Sharpton tweeted a photo of himself and Trump at the 2006 NAN convention holding a pleasant conversation with soul singer James Brown and Jesse Jackson. Trump described Sharpton as “[j]ust a conman at work!”

But it takes more than a con’s shamelessness to accuse others of your sins; as Bill Clinton said at a previous Democratic convention, that “takes a lot of brass.” As this reporter has noted:

“Al Sharpton founded the National Action Network shortly before the racially charged August 1991 Crown Heights riots. Sharpton led crowds in chanting, ‘No justice, no peace’ before rioters claimed the life of rabbinical student Yankel Rosenbaum. Sharpton’s ‘vile rhetoric incited the rioting,’ said Rosenbaum’s brother, Norman. A month earlier, Sharpton challenged New York’s Jewish community, ‘If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.’ In 1995, Sharpton would lead months-long demonstrations against Jewish ‘white interlopers’ at Freddy’s Fashion Mart, who raised the rent of a black business owner; ultimately, a protester burned the store and killed eight people, including himself.”

This record has earned Sharpton the revulsion of most decent society, as well as appointments to the Biden-Harris administration’s National Parents and Families Engagement Council and a council allegedly dedicated to keeping churches safe.

Sharpton, who was ordained a minister at age nine before becoming a protégé of James Brown, engaged in aggressive rhetoric later in his 2024 DNC speech, promising, “We are going to join with whites and browns and Asians, and we going [sic] to do a job on those that have done a job on us.”

4. Kamala Harris Is ‘Tough as Nails’ on Border Security

As part of the Projection Party’s extreme makeover, Kamala Harris now presents herself not only as a prosecutor but a border hawk. “For 20 years, Kamala Harris has been tough as nails when it comes to securing our border,” stated Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) without proof. “Kamala on the other hand has been fighting border crime for years,” alleged Sheriff Javier Salazar of Bexar County, Texas (D). “She’s taken on gangs trafficking across the border,” insisted former President Bill Clinton.

In hailing Harris, Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) praised the Biden-Harris administration’s latest quasi-amnesty, as the president in June promised to allow half a million illegal immigrants married to legal residents to Parole in Place (PIP). “We don’t have to choose between a secure border and building an America for all,” he said. “As president, she will fight for pathways to citizenship.”

In reality, “Biden-Harris-Mayorkas open border policies have facilitated the escalation of human trafficking for both sex and labor in the United States. Modern-day slavery and ultra-violent gangs,” noted Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies. The Office of Inspector General reported that, as of May, ICE had lost track of “more than 291,000” minors who crossed the border during the Biden-Harris administration. Just as the DNC kicked off, officials uncovered a new sex trafficking program of Venezuelans in the United States.

Yet the worst years for illegal immigration before the current administration transpired during years when a president or presidential candidate promised amnesty to illegal immigrants, in 1986 (1,692,544) and its close second in 2001 (1,676,438). The Biden-Harris administration has presided over three record-breaking years of illegal entries at the U.S. southern border: 

• Fiscal Year 2021 saw a historic 1,734,686 illegal entries at the southern border (not including other means of entry).
• FY 2022 (2,378,944)
• FY 2023 (2,475,669)

Border Czar Kamala Harris will go down as “one of the most catastrophic failures in American history,” said Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.).

Even some of Harris’s fellow Democrats felt the party had ignored the border. “Clearly, the Democratic Party, my party, is not interested in talking about what matters,” Chicago City Council member Alderman Raymond Lopez (D) told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “How are you going to keep people safe? How are you going to secure the border? And how are you going to deal with the eight million undocumented individuals that they let in on Kamala Harris’s lead?”

5. Planned Parenthood CEO Tells Democrats, ‘We Will Decide This Election’

As part of the Democratic Party’s most abortion-centric election to date, the leaders of the abortion industry addressed the DNC on Wednesday; one of them declared bluntly, “We will decide this election.”

“We trust Kamala Harris!” exclaimed Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson during her address at the DNC on Wednesday. Planned Parenthood believes this is a pivotal election for its survival. “Our future is on the ballot,” she declared. “And come November 5, we will decide this election.”

Planned Parenthood Action enthused at her participation, posting on X, “That’s our President and CEO! ?'? #WeDecide.”

PPAct need not have exulted; the DNC indulged the entire abortion apparatus. Earlier in the day, former Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards said abortion makes American women “unstoppable.” EMILY’s List President Jessica Mackler insisted, “In 2022, Democrats didn’t just run on reproductive freedom; we won on reproductive freedom. And in 2024, we are coming back to the polls to finish the job.”

All the abortion leaders agreed Harris was sycophantic on maintaining their murderous source of income. Johnson vouched that Harris “has always and will always” hew to the abortion industry’s party line. “Her record shows it.” EMILY’s List posted on social media. “She’s with us, always.” Reproductive Freedom for All (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America) — whose CEO, Mini Tammaraju, spoke at the DNC, as well — stated, “We can’t wait to vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_walz in November.”

Being in favor of a candidate is not enough: Alexis McGill Johnson bashed the 45th president, falsely stating that “Donald Trump wants women to be less free and pregnancy to be more dangerous.”

She seemed concerned about the industry’s survival. “Our future is on the ballot,” said the Planned Parenthood CEO.

6. School Lockdown Advocates Endorse Kamala Harris

Aside from the abortion industry, the Harris-Walz ticket has the full-throated support of the organization responsible for ruining the lives of the second-largest number of children: those responsible for prolonging school lockdowns, the teachers unions. The leaders of the largest two teachers unions, Becky Pringle of the National Education Association (NEA) and Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), addressed the DNC on Thursday.

“Donald Trump and J.D. Vance can’t claim they’re pro-child while gutting funding for public schools. That means that being pro-family means we support access to good union jobs, affordable housing, health care, and higher education,” said Weingarten. Gutting funding for public schools seems less hostile to children than dismemberment abortion, which the Biden-Harris administration has pledged to legalize in all 50 states.

“We are all in” for Harris, declared Weingarten.

7. Dem Rep: We Must March for Abortion for Our Daughters and Granddaughters

Rep. Grace Meng (D-N.Y.) told the convention they must preserve abortion for their children. When it comes to “our reproductive freedom,” Meng told the DNC, “our mothers and grandmothers marched for us. Because of them, my husband and I were able to choose if and when to start a family. ... Now, it is our turn to take up the torch for our children and grandchildren.” President Donald Trump, she implied, would be bad for the abortion plans they have for their children and grandchildren. “He will not stop at banning abortion. He will let states track pregnancies. He’ll put birth control and fertility treatment at risk,” she said without proof. “Trump’s plan is cruel. It’s dangerous,” she said, giving a limp thumbs-down sign. “But it is not inevitable.”

In fact, it’s not even his plan.

8. Openly Gay Governor Tore a Book Defining Marriage as the Union of One Man and One Woman

The Democratic National Convention repeatedly turned the nation’s focus to Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation document produced for more than four decades, as though it represents the Republican Party’s platform. While no president has ever implemented the policy-dense guidelines, Donald Trump has actively disparaged it.

Not only did one governor discuss the project, but he tore out a page that defines a family as the union of one man and one woman.

“Tonight, let’s talk about freedom, including our most intimate freedom,” which is “choosing if and when to have children,” said Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D), who is openly gay. He held up an oversized prop book of Project 2025. “Page 451 says the only ‘legitimate’ family is a married mother and father where only the father works. You know what, I’m going to take that one out; I’m going to put it in my pocket so I can share it with undecided voters, so they can better understand what’s at stake this election. Project 2025 would turn the entire federal government and bureaucracy into a giant machine. It would weaponize it to control our reproductive and personal choices.”

The actual page from Project 2025 says nothing about “legitimate” families, stating:

Goal #3: Promoting Stable and Flourishing Married Families.

Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families.

Working fathers are essential to the well-being and development of their children, but the United States is experiencing a crisis of fatherlessness that is ruining our children’s futures. In the overwhelming number of cases, fathers insulate children from physical and sexual abuse, financial difficulty or poverty, incarceration, teen pregnancy, poor educational outcomes, high school failure, and a host of behavioral and psychological problems. By contrast, homes with non-related “boyfriends” present are among the most dangerous place for a child to be. HHS should prioritize married father engagement in its messaging, health, and welfare policies.

In the context of current and emerging reproductive technologies, HHS policies should never place the desires of adults over the right of children to be raised by the biological fathers and mothers who conceive them. In cases involving biological parents who are found by a court to be unfit because of abuse or neglect, the process of adoption should be speedy, certain, and supported generously by HHS.

Another book also defines marriage exclusively as the union of a man and a woman. Jesus said, “a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh. … What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” (Matthew 19:1-6).

9. Dem Governor: ‘Democrats Welcome Weird’

The same governor, Jared Polis of Colorado, stated forthrightly, “Democrats welcome weird.” He went on to contrast the Democratic Party’s form of “weird” — which featured transgender delegates and an abortion unit — with “these Project 2025 people like Trump and Vance” who allegedly “aren’t just weird; they’re dangerous.” He referred to Taylor Swift song: “We’re not going back, like ever-ever-ever.”

10. Oprah Calls Kamala’s Marxist Dad ‘Idealistic’

Oprah Winfrey called Harris’s parents “idealistic.” The New Yorker described Harris’s father, Donald J. Harris, as “a renowned Marxist economist” and professor at the University of California at Berkeley. Marxist “idealism” claimed the lives of 100 million people in 100 years — and counting. Americans have gratefully been spared their murderous rampage in this country.

11. Former Republican: Vote for Kamala, because the GOP ‘Is No Longer Conservative’

Despite such a radical convention, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) made a pitch for Republicans to support the Harris-Walz ticket, because “The Republican Party is no longer conservative.” Apparently, he believes conservatives should instead vote for the candidate promising price controls, open borders, abortion until birth, pornographic books in school libraries, and transgender surgeries for children.

Kinzinger’s former colleagues expressed disappointment with his about-face. “I served with Adam Kinzinger in Congress when we voted for the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act requiring medical care for babies surviving abortions,” replied former Congressman Mark Walker, who served as a Republican from North Carolina. “How sad to now see Adam speaking at the DNC where abortions are available on the street in the back of a truck.”

12. Dem Raised Possibility of Invalidating Donald Trump’s Election?

Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) of th Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) touted the benefits of giving Democrats control of the House of Representatives. Americans “don’t want tax cuts for the wealthy, not a national abortion ban,” DelBene said. “And yes, a Democratic House means a Speaker Jeffries will certify the 2024 election.”

That dogwhistle hinted Democrats may not certify a Trump victory. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said in an online clip that the Supreme Court seemed poised to fail its “very clear duty to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot, under Section three of the 14th Amendment.”

“And what that might mean, if their decision says that it’s really up to Congress, on January 5th – or January 6th, 2025, to disqualify him at the counting of the Electoral College votes,” he said.

13. Democrats Mispronounce ‘Kamala’

Kamala Harris’s grand-nieces taught the crowd how to pronounce the name properly. They could have instructed Al Sharpton, who mispronounced the nominee’s name earlier in the evening. So did President Bill Clinton on Wednesday, as he dubbed her the “president of joy.”

14. The Democratic National Convention Featured the National Anthem as a Performance Piece?

The band formerly known as the Dixie Chicks (now “The Chicks”) sang the national anthem — a few hours into the proceedings. Typically, the national anthem opens any public meeting. Former President Barack Obama regularly treated the United States like just another nation. Apparently, the Democratic Party treats the national anthem like just another tune. 

15. A Country Singer Crooned a Trump-like Anthem

The DNC featured a performance by country singer Mickey Guyton singing, “All American.” Yet the lyrics seem to fit the Trump campaign better than that of Harris. The lyrics state:

“We’re the stars in the Texas sky
And the jukebox vinyl
We’r? the New York City lights
And a hotel Bibl? …

millionaires, spare some change
And everything in between

“We got the same stars, the same stripes
Just wanna live that good life
Ain’t we all?
Ain’t we all all-American?

“We’re different in a million ways
But at the end of the day
Ain’t we all? 

Ain't we all all-American?”

The message seems an inexact fit for the DNC, which began its morning sessions by holding meetings that segregated delegates by race and ethnicity. The lyrics read more like a refrain from one of Donald Trump’s stump speeches:

“There’s one allegiance that unites us all, and that is to America — America; it’s the allegiance to America. No matter our background, or income, or geography, we’re all citizens of this blessed land. And no matter our color or the blood, color of the blood we bleed, it’s the same red blood of great, great patriots — remember great patriots. We all salute with pride the same American flag, and we all are equal, totally equal in the eyes of Almighty God.”

Ultimately, our true unity comes from being children of God.

16. As Democrats Sounded Patriotic Themes, Protesters Burned the American Flag

As Democratic strategists told friendly media outlets the 2024 Democratic National Convention intended to “reclaim” patriotism, protesters representing the Democratic Party’s base burned the American flag and assaulted a man who tried to stop them. Reporter Ben Bergquam attempted to intervene as demonstrators set Old Glory ablaze while chanting, “Free, free Palestine!” only for a masked man wearing a keffiyeh to shove him. He attempted to reason with the mob, saying the flag represents America herself.

“It’s our country!” said Bergquam.

“F*** this country! Burn it down! Burn it down!” shouted a masked protester. As he threw the stars and stripes on the fire, he yelled, “This is what we think of your rag.”

Perhaps it’s not surprising that his assault, on America and the patriotic citizens who tried to defend her, received no coverage from the legacy media, which refused to cover the proceedings taking place inside the convention hall — many of which you likely learned about for the first time in this article.
