A clear example of a candidate who will lie. During a campaign event Kamala Harris was asked by an audience member (with a microphone): “what are you going to do in the next one year to diminish the mentally retarded action of this guy”?
In response to the question a laughing Senator Harris replied: “well said, well said.”
WATCH:
.
However, today, facing backlash from the term “mentally retarded“, candidate Harris claims she did not hear the words he used in the question. You decide.
Kamala Harris✔@KamalaHarrisWhen my staff played the video from my town hall yesterday, it was upsetting. I didn’t hear the words the man used in that moment, but if I had I would’ve stopped and corrected him. I’m sorry. That word and others like it aren’t acceptable. Ever. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1170434381003001857 …CBS News✔@CBSNewsYesterday, someone at a @KamalaHarris event called Pres. Trump “mentally retarded.”
The 2020 candidate told @CHueyBurns the term is “incredibly offensive” and said in 2019 you would think “people would have a much better understanding of how hurtful a term like that can be.”
