Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), a presidential candidate, said in an interview broadcast Sunday that Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election made clear that race is the “Achilles heel” of the U.S.
“[T]hey decide to attack what is the strongest pillar of a democracy, which is free and open elections … And they tried out a bunch of different things. And you know what caught heat? The issue of race. So Russia exposed America's Achilles heel,” Harris said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“And all of a sudden then, guess what? For those who want to marginalize the conversation about race and racial inequities and say, ‘Oh, well, that's identity politics or that's this or that's that.’ Guess what? Now it is also a national security issue. And we need to deal with it. And we need to deal with it,” she added.
Harris added that “racism is real in this country” and that it predated the Trump presidency.
“The reality is that these are forms of hate that are not new to our country, which have, in the history of our country, taken lethal proportion. And still today take on lethal proportion. And so I believe that the conversation has to be about how we are going to speak truth about the history, and then address it,” she told NBC’s Chuck Todd.
Harris tied these issues to both to the massacre of 22 people in El Paso, Texas, last weekend, in which the suspect has told police he targeted “Mexicans,” and a series of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across Mississippi last Wednesday in which nearly 700 people were detained.
“When I look at what's happening now, Chuck, just most recently, with the announcement of the raids from months ago, much less what happened in El Paso, to the most recent raids, where hundreds of people were picked up,” she said.
“Many were released because they probably shouldn't have been picked up in the first place. People are afraid in our country,” she added.
Russia used social media to plant and spread rumors Russia was working with Trump to win the election.
Why would they do this? Because they wanted Trump to appear compromised so he would lose, not win.
They planted names of alleged Russian 'oligarchs' and their alleged linked to Trump. They used social media to drop names and are likely the infamous 'anonymous sources' mainstream media have come to trust (who may very well be agents of foreign governments).
Democrats and the Democratic media complex took the bait and pounced on every name and every rumor.
Russia manufactured the lie. Gullible Democrats and their Democrat mainstream media machine did the rest to manufacture the Russian Hoax out of unconfirmed, unreliable, and likely enemy sources.
“Now it is also a national security issue. And we need to deal with it. “
If you say so Socrates.
Governments have interfered in each others elections since there have been elections to interfere with!
What’s new is a national campaign by the media (and its all the media!) “panties-in-a-wad” about it.
And its all due to particularly set of “panties-in-a-wad” about losing - Hellary’s panties !
I have a question for Wille Brown. Does Heels Up Harris have “I’m stupid” tattooed on the bottoms of her feet or the top of her head? Oh, or both?
This mediocrity couldn’t run the front end of a grocery store. The national disgrace is that any attention at all is paid to such non-entities.
I think what she’s really saying is that the dims have no real hope of defeating President Trump and that they’re pinning their hopes on convincing voters that Trump is racist.
Dear Kamala Harris:
Bitch, please!

“Harris added that “racism is real in this country” and that it predated the Trump presidency.”
Race would not be a problem of any consequence in this country if the Democrats not only weren’t racist, but would shut up about it.
She’s no one to be talking about heels.
SPOT ON and Obama made it far worse than it had been, since the end of the Civil War!
Race race race. When all you have is a hammer everything looks like nails.
Projecting the decade's old DemonRat strategy on Russia.
That is lame and transparent you nasty old hag.
It seems to me that over 99.99% of the Russian interference was accusations of it after the fact to cover for the Democrats losing and the abuse of the FISA courts to get Hillary elected, which was far worse than the 1/100 of 1% of interference the Russians may have done.
Is it possible a little subconscious desire is behind all this anger?
Hmmmm?
I've had considerable training in this discipline, you know.

I call BS on all of that. Show me one scintilla of proof that they did any of that, yesthatjallen!
Only the desire to lock you and Kamalalalalala in a shipping container and leave it out in the desert sun. :)
How would you even notice the Russians are doing that when the MSM and libTards already do that not stop?
Willie would only notice if it was tatooed on the back of her head..
Racists are people who are obsessed with race and make everything about race.
Sound like anyone you know, Kameltoe?
