Without Using Trump's Name, Kamala Harris Calls Out 'Coward' Leaders
HuffPost
"Anybody who's about beating down other people is a coward," Harris said to a crowd in Rochester, Pennsylvania.
Vice President Kamala Harris denounced political leaders who focus on tearing people down rather than uplifting them.
“Over the last several years, there’s been this kind of perversion that has taken place, I think, which is to suggest that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down when what we know is the real and true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up,” Harris said during a campaign rally in Rochester, Pennsylvania, on Sunday.
“That’s what strength looks like. Anybody who’s about beating down other people is a coward,” Harris said to a crowd that met her remarks with applause.
Harris’ opponent, former President Donald Trump, is notorious for making sexist, racist and otherwise inflammatory remarks.
However, Harris — who was joined by her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Walz’s wife, Minnesota’s first lady Gwen Walz at the rally— did not reference Trump or any other politicians by name and instead focused on her own campaign.
