VP Harris delivers one of shortest acceptance speeches in history: Report
To wrap up the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris gave the attendees an acceptance speech they're likely to forget, if for any reason, because of its length.
According to Breitbart, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee delivered one of the shortest acceptance speeches in U.S. history.
That, combined with the fact that she's still essentially hiding from the press is yet another indication that her handlers, and presumably the White House, do not want Americans -- especially Democratic Party voters -- to realize that like Biden, she's not the best speaker around.
Her short speech contrasted greatly with former President Donald Trump's speech, which happened to be one of the longest in history and happened just days after he was nearly killed by an assassin's bullet.

Breitbart noted:
Harris spent the beginning of her speech talking about her childhood and past work, conveniently leaving out key details such as the full truth of where she grew up or her actual track record of failing to prosecute sexual abuse cases within the Catholic Church.
The speech ran a mere 38 minutes, which is extremely short in the realm of acceptance speeches at conventions.
It's officially the 12th shortest speech according to historical data.
By comparison, Trump's speech, during which he recounted the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania rally, was a whopping 92 minutes long and was well received by his supporters.
Former President Trump reacted to Harris' weak and short speech, which she spent avoiding talking policy and, instead, focused on attacking Trump.
"I personally thought it was a terrible speech, it was very non-specific. It was also very short, she just wanted to get off the stage because her ideas are bad," Trump said.
Aside from attacking Trump directly, presumably to avoid talking serious issues of which she knows little about, Harris lied about Trump's positions and his intentions.
"Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails and how he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United States, not to improve your life, not to strengthen our national security, but to serve the only client he has ever had — himself," Harris said.
Many are looking very much forward to September, when Trump and Harris will square off in their first debate. It should be a good one.
