Vice President Harris said clearly that the U.S. has racism in its history, bucking remarks to the contrary from GOP presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“There is no denying that we have, in our history as a nation, racism,” she said in an ABC News interview Wednesday. “I think we all would agree that while it is part of our past, and that we see vestiges of it today, we should also be committed collectively to not letting it define the future of our country.”
“It’s unfortunate that there are some who would deny fact, or overlook it, when in fact, moving toward progress requires that we speak truth,” she added, referencing Haley’s remarks earlier this week.
Haley denied the country’s history of racism in a Fox News interview Tuesday.
She talks about it like it’s a thing of the past. Her current boss upholds systemic racism like a badge of honor. Red is blatant, blue is systemic.
So systemic she’s allowed to say these kinds of things, right?
She put plenty of people in jail for weed when she was a prosecutor. Should we ignore her now when she says it should be legal?
Say what you want about Bidens history with race relations, he’s since changed his tune. I’d prefer to vote for politicians who can actually change their thinking on an issue when they are presented with compelling evidence.
Saying is different than doing, this is noting more than election year pandering.
Yes. She has no intention of working towards legalization, she just wants your vote
I was about to say, it’s not really history if it’s still happening. As a person of Palestinian origins, I deny the fact that it should be called history at all. It’s still happening.
