Senator Kamala Harris of California officially kicked off her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination on Sunday before a crowd of more than 20,000 people, Ms. Harris, 54, became the second black woman to serve in the US Senate in 2017.
The New York Times reported that; “In her remarks, she stressed, when we have leaders who bully and attack a free press and undermine our democratic institutions, that’s not our America,” she said;
“When white supremacists march and murder in Charlottesville or massacre innocent worshipers in a Pittsburgh synagogue, that’s not our America. And when we have children in cages crying for their mothers and fathers, don’t you dare call that border security, that’s human rights abuse!”
Ms. Harris spoke of an America where “we welcome refugees” and denounced President Trump’s border wall plan as a “medieval vanity project.”
“We are here today…
because the American dream and our American democracy are under attack and on the line like never before. And we are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question:
Who are we? Who are we as Americans?”
