Harris grilled for alienating 'millions' of voters by calling Trump racist in '60 Minutes' interview

Vice President Kamala Harris got grilled in a tense “60 Minutes” interview Monday night for alienating “millions and millions” of US voters by calling former President Donald Trump a “racist.”

CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker took Harris to task for portraying Trump as “racist and divisive.”

“You have accused Donald Trump of using racist tropes when it comes to Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, when it comes to birtherism, when it comes to Charlottesville. In fact, you have called him a racist and divisive,” Whitaker said.

“Yet Donald Trump has the support of millions and millions of Americans. How do you explain that?”

The truth hurts when lies rule the world!

She placed over 1, 500 black men in jail while awaiting trial for many charges but mostly marijuana possession. While only about 9 got prosecuted, the rest had to sit in jail without bail until their court date. I remember it caused a lot of civil rights advocate groups to rally against her including the police officers at the time. It was a huge mess in San Francisco at the time when i was living there

Wasn't it racist when she pretended to identify as black? Many black Americans took that as an insult.

[markmccoy]

She blamed racism and sexism when she lost the presidential primaries. That’s her own party.

[RoysMyBoy]

"Attempted to use race to divide the American people, " huh? I'd say she and joe have done an outstanding job with that along with gender equality as well.

[robertmatthews]

He wasn't questioning her racial identity. He was pointing out that she has now changed her racial identity from Indian to Black.

[josegarza]

I’m a Mexican Imigrant and I’m voting Trump. The left needs to keep racism alive for their political games.

[lalutte]

This is the woman who sent a black woman to jail because her sick, hospitalized child missed school. Behind the cackles and word salads is a tyrant waiting to be unleashed

[BassManStrikes]

She called Biden racist as well LOL...she plays that card a lot...

[hawaii]

Kamala Harris went on 60 minutes and made sense for about 0 seconds.

[RamonaPool]

Well, she really should make up her mind what she is.

[stlrecon]

VOTE THESE DEMS OUT OF OFFICE! PATHETIC!

[mikeyg]

She's not the one we need in 2025

[naomiferreira]

She called Joe Biden a racist in the presidential debate and still accepted the VP position 🤡 🤦‍♀️

[hangten]

She once called Joe Biden a racist, now you can't even tell the difference between Kamala and the racist.

Candice Owens has proved Kamala's father was of Irish descent living in Jamaica and whose family had owned slaves at one time. Her mother was from India. How does that make her black in any way shape or form?
