Vice President Kamala Harris this week threatened to shoot and kill a marginalized individual—potentially a victim of systemic racism and police violence—who broke into her home in order to feed their family. "If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot," she told Oprah Winfrey, the Democratic billionaire media tycoon, during a livestream event in Detroit. Harris followed up the shockingly violent remark with her signature cackle.
Harris continues to showcase her inspiring rhetoric on the campaign trail. During the event with Oprah, for example, the vice president spoke about the importance of American voters "rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams." In response to a local reporter's question about her economic policies, Harris talked about her experience growing up in a "neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn." She discussed reparations for slavery and the need to examine the issue "in a way that elevates knowledge about history and the reference points," whatever that means.
With less than six weeks to go before the election, Harris seems fairly confident about her chances of winning. As she famously told a group of voters in Pennsylvania: "I am feeling very good about Pennsylvania because there are a lot of people in Pennsylvania." She really is a once-in-a-generation talent.
Have a great weekend!
