Vice President Kamala Harris responded on Wednesday to former President Donald Trump’s accusation that she “became a black person” for political purposes, telling members of a historically black sorority that it was the “same old show.”
Addressing Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc.’s 60th International Biennial Boulé in Houston, Harris said Trump’s remarks earlier that day served as a reminder of “what those four years [of Trump’s presidency] were like.”
“Donald Trump spoke at the annual meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists – and it was the same old show. The divisiveness and the disrespect,” she said. “And let me just say, the American people deserve better.”
“The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth. A leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the facts. We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us. They are an essential source of our strength,” the 59-year-old veep added.
