In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Wednesday, Democrat VP pick Kamala Harris urged the left to keep up the political activism, from violent protests to “shouting when necessary.”
“Civil rights are on the line,”Harris said. “Workers’ rights are on the line. Consumer rights are on the line. Health care is on the line. These — all of these things are at stake. You are absolutely right. And the only point that I can make to hopefully relieve some of that righteous fear is, we have an election coming up…” She went on to discuss the importance of Senate elections.
“With Donald Trump and this Senate, we have seen nominations — because I’ve been there. I’ve witnessed it on the Judiciary Committee. I mentioned this in the debate — Rachel, 50 nominations and confirmations to the United States Court of Appeals for lifetime — lifetime appointments. Do you know of the 50, not one person is black? I’ve been watching where they bring in these nominees who are unwilling to agree that Brown v. Board of Education is precedent. It’s crazy… So there is one thing we can do among the many things,” Harris added. “Well, let’s not stop protesting. Let’s not stop being active. Let’s not stop speaking up and shouting when necessary. And let’s vote. And let’s vote, guys.”
Harris has yet to denounce her party’s deadly “protesting” that has wreaked havoc across the country.
