America Deserves Better Than Donald Trump – Kamala Harris

US Vice President, Kamala Harris has come out to respond directly to Donald Trump after he mocked her heritage. Recall that Trump had claimed the vice-president had only emphasized her Asian-American heritage until recently when she became a black person.

He said, “I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black.

So I don’t know – Is she Indian? Or is she black?”

Reacting, Harris said, “It was the same old show. The divisiveness and the disrespect.

And let me just say, the American people deserve better. The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth, a leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the facts. We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us; they are an essential source of our strength.”

WOW.
