Kamala Harris Pushes Back on ‘Is Trump a White Supremacist’ Question: ‘You Should Ask Him That’

‘I think you should ask him that question’

EXCERPT:

REPORTER: "Some candidates believe, as Elizabeth Warren and Beto O'Rourke have said, that he is a white supremacist."
HARRIS: "I think you should ask him that question."
REPORTER: "Are you willing to say that?"
HARRIS: "I think you should ask him that question. I'd be interested to see what his answer is."
REPORTER: "Joe Biden has said today that the president, what he has done, quote, encourages white supremacy, that he doesn't feel that there's much of a distinction and what he is doing  may be even worse. Do you concur?"
HARRIS: "Yeah. I think that's absolutely right. I think that's absolutely right. This is a president — we don't even need to — the sad thing about this is it's no longer really a debatable point. There is just a long list of statements and tweets and behaviors from this president that make it very clear that he he possesses hate and — and that he is — he is divisive and that he is a racist."
REPORTER: "Is it important call him a white supremacist, though, as some of your competitors have said?"
HARRIS: "I think it's important to call it what it is, which is that we have a president of the United States who does not reflect the values of who we are as a people. He is someone who gives, who empowers white supremacists, and — and who condones their behavior. And that is not the kind of president that I think most Americans can be proud of, much less support."
