There was a moment during Kamala Harris's MSNBC town hall with Lawrence O'Donnell when it seemed like she had officially won the crowd over to her side. Luckily, it came early, which meant they were with her most of the 75 minutes of the event, which ran late into dumb Brian Williams's hour, and luckily the network execs decided it would be more interesting to let Harris stay on TV longer, instead of switching over to dumb Brian Williams.

They spent a lot of the first section talking about the draconian and insane abortion laws being passed all over the country right now, and it came up that Donald Trump, during a very similar town hall event during the 2016 campaign, had said that women who have abortions should be punished. O'Donnell pointed out, correctly, that Trump took back what he had said almost as quickly as he said it. And Harris, who was NOT HAVING IT, affixed the look you see above on her face and said, "It came out of his mouth." And we laughed really hard and paused the TV and the people in the audience laughed and cheered, and we were off to the races!

Harris was just on fire last night, and we saw the candidate we've been guessing up to now has, in a way, been biding her time, letting this very early stage of the campaign play out without worrying too much about exactly what the polls say, because she knew the time was coming when she'd get to really start introducing herself to the American people. We suspect a lot of people saw that candidate last night.

Harris brought along some really interesting policy ideas too, one specifically pertaining to the abortion issue, which she said she's kind of "done" with, and if you heard her tone of voice, you know that when she meant "done," she meant through with it. Harris has a plan for states that like to use the Supreme Court's ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey to restrict abortion out of existence, all while shouting, "Nuh uh, we are not undue-burden-ing a woman's right to choose, just because we just made up a new law that all abortion clinics must have 38-foot ceilings in all broom closets!" Specifically, she'd like to take the model of the Voting Rights Act, which had certain measures in place -- at least until the Supreme Court gutted it -- to make sure states were in compliance. With Harris's plan, if a state has a particular reputation for passing laws that fuck up women's reproductive rights and health, then any new laws they pass would have to get the go-ahead from the Justice Department.
