No adult should ever say something like this in front of kids.
It’s especially true when you’re the Vice President of the United States.
But once again Kamala Harris crossed the line in a horrible way with one comment she made in front of children.
It’s clear Kamala Harris is not comfortable during public appearances.
She’ll often cackle in serious moments or when asked serious questions or will make odd statements in an awkward attempt to sound relatable.
However, Harris has never crossed the line so badly as she did in a recent appearance at an event for Asian Americans.
With young people scattered throughout the crowd, Harris tried to be so cool by dropping an f-bomb in front of everybody.
According to CBS News, “Vice President Kamala Harris let a profanity slip Monday as she emphasized the importance of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders breaking through the barriers they face.”
“Harris was participating in a conversation moderated by actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang when he asked her what it means to be the first vice president of Asian descent and how that heritage has informed her views and role as a leader. Harris’ mother was from India and her father was from Jamaica, and Harris herself has broken barriers as the first Indian-American vice president, first female vice president and first Indian-American U.S. senator.”
“Harris gave a lengthy response in which she told the young people to not let others define them and their dreams based on limited views. That’s something Harris said her own mother told her.”
“We have to know that sometimes, people will open the door for you and leave it open, sometimes they won’t. And then you need to kick that f***ing door down,” Kamala said.
She then followed it up with a half-hearted, “Excuse my language.”
But the damage was already done.
Instead of using the event as an opportunity to tell her story in a way that everyone could relate and be inspired by, she bungled the whole thing by trying to sound cool.
This was not a good look for a Vice President whose public appearances and hot-takes have already led American voters to not take her seriously.
