A prankster infiltrated the Democratic National Convention and elicited some shocking responses from those in attendance, including several elected officials.
Lionel McGloin, who runs the YouTube page “no cap on god,” spent the week in Chicago, talking to some of the DNC’s biggest stars and parodying the “brat” theme of many of Kamala Harris’ supporters.
His best answers came from the average crowd, including one who said yes to wild ideas like free abortions, gender-affirming care for minors and higher tax brackets for wealthy white men.
To show the liberal groups, in the same video he managed to get New York Congressman Jerry Nadler to agree to something similar.
“If we get a Democratic Congress, we will certainly get it,” Nadler told McGloin.

A male participant explained to McGloin why Harris is so attractive to liberals.
“She’s a spoiled brat,” he said, referring to Charli XCX’s album that has become a meme among left-wingers.
“Brat, you’re a party animal, but you go out late at night and fall asleep with your makeup on,” the man said.
But the funniest answers came from the progressive attendees, including one who couldn’t choose between living in a democracy or legalizing abortion.
“I feel like it’s almost impossible to answer that question. I can’t choose,” she said, before choosing 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 “bad.”
McGloin also spoke with Kellyanne Conway and her daughter Claudia, who revealed she went against her mother, a former Trump adviser, to support Harris.

At one point, the host convinced Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey to legalize cocaine.
Overall, progressives appear to be rallying in what California Governor Gavin Newsom jokingly called a “30-minute primary” to unconditionally back Harris.
They have also joined the “brat” meme in support of Harris, a key figure 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 elections across the country. This includes more than eight million young voters who will be eligible to vote for the first time since the 2022 midterm elections.
This is the first presidential election to be held on TikTok, and with more online influencers and streaming options than ever before, the campaigns are using a variety of channels to reach the next generation wherever they are.
It’s an extremely diverse generation. Nearly half of Gen Z youth are people of color. One in five identify as LGBTQ+. They’re not just more diverse, they’re also more inclusive.
As Democrats and Republicans push to engage young people, an exclusive new poll for DailyMail.com finds Harris is seeing an increase in support among voters aged 18 to 29, compared to when President Biden topped the Democratic ticket.
It found that 48 percent of young voters now back Harris, while only 32 percent back Trump. Nine percent back independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.
But by far the funniest answers 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, at their age, are more engaged than previous generations.
When the same poll was conducted in July, Harris had 37 percent support and Trump had 26 percent, the JL Partners poll found.
The campaigns use different approaches to reach the key group of voters.
As President Biden withdrew from the presidential race and Harris took the lead on the Democratic ticket, TikTok and other social media platforms were instrumental in the early 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 a clip of her speech featuring the line ‘Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’ went viral
It seemed like the internet had been taken over by supporters using coconut emojis and palm trees, while older voters were left to ask their children and younger colleagues what it means to be a “brat” after pop star Charlie XCX recommended on X that “Kamala IS brat.”
According to the campaign, the @KamalaHQ account now has more than 3.4 million followers, doubling its follower count between Sunday, July 21, and Monday, July 22, following Biden’s departure.
The number of followers has now grown eightfold since it was @BidenHQ, making @KamalaHQ TikTok Harris’ most-followed social media channel of her entire campaign.
Thanks to its new name, @KamalaHQ has generated more views on TikTok than Donald Trump’s account: more than 462 million video views and 66 million likes.
The campaign uses a mix of viral moments and trends to reach voters across platforms in a fragmented media environment.
Behind the humor and memes, the campaign says it is focused on creating a visual contrast between Harris and Trump.
