Harris drops "F-bomb" while encouraging Asian Americans to break down barriers
CBSN
Vice President Kamala Harris let a profanity slip Monday as she emphasized the importance of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders breaking through the barriers they face.
Harris was participating in a conversation moderated by actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang when he asked her what it means to be the first vice president of Asian descent and how that heritage has informed her views and role as a leader. Harris' mother was from India and her father was from Jamaica, and Harris herself has broken barriers as the first Indian-American vice president, first female vice president and first Indian-American U.S. senator.
Harris gave a lengthy response in which she told the young people to not let others define them and their dreams based on limited views. That's something Harris said her own mother told her.
