Sen. Kamala Harris (D.-Calif.) said in an interview with CNN aboard he campaign bus on Thursday that President Donald Trump “statements and tweets and behaviors” make it clear that he “is a racist.”
“The sad thing about this is it is no longer really a debatable point,” Harris said in an interview with CNN’s Kyung Lah. “There is just a long list of statements and tweets and behaviors from this president that make it very clear that he possesses hate and that he is divisive and that he is a racist.”
Lah had asked Harris: “Do you believe, as Elizabeth Warren and Beto O’Rourke have said that he is a white supremacist?”
Here is a transcript of the part of the interview where Harris says that President Trump “possesses hate” and “is a racist”:
Kyung Lah: “Do you believe as Elizabeth Warren and Beto O’Rourke have said that he is a white supremacist?”Kamala Harris: “I think you should ask him that question.”Lah: “Are you willing to say that?”Harris: “I think you should ask him that question. I would be interested to see what his answer is.”Lah: “Joe Biden has said today that the president has, what he has done, quote, "encourages white supremacy." That he doesn't feel that there's much of a distinction and that what he is doing may be worse. Do you concur with those words?”Harris: “Yeah, I think that's absolutely right. I think that’s absolutely right. This is a president who has, I mean we don't even need--the sad thing about this is it is no longer really a debatable point. There is just a long list of statements and tweets and behaviors from this president that make it very clear that he possesses hate and that he is divisive and that he is a racist.”Lah: “Is it important to call him a white supremacist, though, as some of that your competitors have said?”Harris: “I think it is important to call it what it is, which is that we have a president of the United States who does not reflect the values of who we are as a people. He is someone who gives, who empowers white supremacists and who condones their behavior and that is not the kind of president that I think most Americans can be proud of, much less support.”https://www.google.com/search?safe=strict&biw=1280&bih=686&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=AudNXZLJJIaT0wKs7YzoCg&q=liberal+and+racism&oq=liberal+and+racism&gs_l=img.3...1580.16823..18430...0.0..1.114.2533.31j2......0....1..gws-wiz-img.....0..35i39j0j0i67j0i24.MY_RbxoDb2M&ved=0ahUKEwiS0r2R3_bjAhWGyVQKHaw2A60Q4dUDCAY&uact=5#imgrc=vFRx2AaFrNBm2M:
