Young, intelligent, and possesses a good moral compass from a humble background.
Not to mention the great voice! He’s got a lot going for him.
Best of luck!
@Dinah Williams Great representation for all of America! We need folks like this in Congress from every state. I know we have good people out there, we just need to get them to run.
🇺🇸✊🏻👍🏿💪🏾
@Open borders Dementia Joe Children call each other names, adults make valid points of opposition.
@Open borders Dementia Joe nice name calling, how old are you? 10 or 11?
@Leila e you know what I mean? C’mon man! CIRCLE back!!
@Leila e I asked questions! Guess you are not smart enough to debate me BOY!!
Real future is State Reps: Kenyatta, AOC/Squad, Katie Porter & other’s 4 the people. Oh if only we weren’t locked into a 2 party system Corrupt GOP/Corrupt Corp Dems, if only those who legislated decades ago would get out of the way for new blood!
You’re thinking of the now defunct DLC, which no longer has power. The Dems are now Joe Biden/Bernie Sanders party. Its either the corporate white nationalist republicans or the New Democratic workers party? Which side are you on?
@AJ Rimmer 😆 take care
My husband started singing with him! Keep up the great work State Rep. Kenyatta.
I like this guy’s energy .
My town needs a new bridge.
What a beautiful voice
Bottoms up. How appropriate
That’s the question: Which Side Are You On? Biden’s a Labor Union Guy who cares about workers, and so am I. Will you join us to fight for Midde-Class workers?
Middle class and lower class working together to make the upper class realize they can’t rule our country anymore.
👍🏽💪🏾✊🏻🇺🇸
5:00 Right on. Years and years of active undermining of good programs, by people who don’t want them to work and then insist that “all government doesn’t work”. Yet they’re still taking salaries and pensions paid by Americans.
Yes, this is exactly it
which side are u on? let’s fight? is that what you want?
We need your youth & spirit . Admire how you speak truth respectfully .
“Which side are you on? Which side are you on?” We’re on the side of the LORD! 🤲🏾 Uplifting of the downtrodden. Amen.
Hey, not all rural Pennsylvanias are buying the big lie! ..
..just most
yea most rural everywhere does.
I love listening to Rep Kenyatta. He’s young , intelligent and honest. He’s going places!!!
I’ll root for Kenyatta if he runs for the senate in 2024 but I can’t root for him next year because we’ve got John Fetterman to elect.
He can still stay in the race, but once we come to the primary next year, Malcolm needs to drop out right away before or a few days after the Pennsylvania primary gets underway and endorse Fetterman so we can succeed on getting more progressives elected into the US Senate and we’ll need to make sure the DNC chairman doesn’t make the state’s establishment use any digital voting apps because we don’t want them screwing up elections like Buttigeig did in Iowa.
How could you not applaude giving children more food….
“…big corporations who’ve been able to write the rules to their benefit time and time and time again.” Exactly. And then, worst of all, convince tens of millions of Americans that those rules are the best among all the sets of rules we could be operating under, without proving it, but just by repeating the assertion again, and again, and again,and scaring them out of trying anything different. It’s like someone hosting a Monopoly game, changing the “house rules” time and time again to benefit themselves and trying to get the other players to cheer them on for doing it. And that’s precisely what tens of millions of Trump supporters do: they admire Trump for bending the rules and getting away with it or McConnell for coming up with new rules out of the blue whenever it benefits him and his party. That so many people accept this unethical behavior is what finds us in the mess we are trying to dig out of now.
Wow love him. Got misty hearing him sing
Go Malcolm!
The PA Senate race next year will be really competive for the first time in years because of this guy.
His voice moved me to tears in 2 notes. You can hear the honesty and kindness.
WAIT!!!! were you still living at home with your parents at the tender age of 27? lol
