People cheered as the vice president offered her very candid take on how to break barriers.
Vice President Kamala Harris got a bit blunt while giving advice to young people of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander heritage in Washington, D.C., on Monday.
While discussing how to break down barriers, she told attendees at the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies’ Legislative Leadership Summit, “We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that fucking door down.”
As cheers erupted from the audience, she added, “Excuse my language.”
To the crowd’s delight, actor and comic Jimmy O. Yang, who was moderating, told everyone, “We gotta make T-shirts with that saying!”
Harris’ comments came while celebrating May’s Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, giving her an opportunity to speak about becoming a first in several areas.
