‘So Good At Making Things Clear’: MSNBC Host, Contributor Say Harris-Walz Have ‘Reframed’ Definition Of ‘Freedom’

MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin and guest Molly Jong-Fast said Thursday that Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz have “reframed” the definition of “freedom” during their campaign.

Since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee after President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid on July 21, Harris has had a major surge in support from lawmakers, donors and other political figures. On “Deadline: White House,” Mohyeldin and Jong-Fast discussed how Harris and Walz have redefined “freedom,” which was previously “monopolistically owned by Republicans.”

“The framing of freedom had almost been monopolistically owned by Republicans, right? It was always them. But I think there’s been a remarkable shift both to the vice president’s credit and certainly to Tim Walz’s credit,” Mohyeldin said.

“Because they have reframed the word freedom in a way that they are the protectors of our freedom, protecting the government from interfering in a women’s right to choose and her body, the freedom to vote for who you want to vote for, the freedom to love who you want to love without government interference,” Mohyeldin continued. “A truly remarkable shift in the span of just a couple of weeks.”

Jong-Fast echoed Mohyeldin’s statements as she noted how Harris has done a “good at making things clear” within a short amount of time.
