Kamala Harris Condemns 'Perversion' of Bullying, 'Coward' Leaders



Kamala Harris Condemns ‘Perversion’ of Bullying, ‘Coward’ Leaders
TRUE STRENGTH
“We know our country is going to be as strong as our willingness to fight for it, and to fight for what we stand for,” Harris said on a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, Sunday.

Kamala Harris condemned Donald Trump without using his name Sunday in a forceful stump speech in Rochester, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, as she and running mate Tim Walz barnstormed the state on a bus tour accompanied by their spouses.

“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,” Harris said, flanked by her husband Doug Emhoff, Walz and his wife Gwen Walz. “What we know is the real and true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up.”

“That's what strength looks like. Anybody who's about beating down other people is a coward,” she added.
