This is ripping at a whole new level by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.)

1. I knew Kamala Harris would be a powerful voice in the Senate.

[WinkyDink]

2. Democratic.

[IronLionZion]

3. "Harris urged liberals to support those red-state Democrats"

No Democrat is expected to vote for the repeal bill, though Republicans will likely target 10 Senate Democrats up for reelection in states carried by Trump.

Harris urged liberals to support those red-state Democrats — particularly a handful in states where Trump won by double digits — even if they don't always agree.

"There are many of us who will not agree with as much of 20 percent of what those five say and stand for, but I promise you, you will disagree with 100 percent of what their replacements stand for," she said. "We cannot afford to be purists and we've got to take care of them."

DUers will attack and punish these Dems until they lose to Republicans.

7. Thanks for posting the content. She is so right.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. Kamala Harris hits the nail on the head.......

With her statement.

If people are paying attention, and I trust they are by the way they are showing up at Town Halls, protesting all across the country, that the so-called AHCA is nothing kore than an $800 BILLION Tax Cut for the wealthy.

On the Tom Hartman show yesterday, the first 2 hours was on the GOP tax cut. Wendell Potter went on to say that "pre-existing conditions is a con job designed by the health insurance companies to make money off of. " When you look at it, just being alive is a pre-existing condition.

What the GOP is selling, the American people will not buy. Any Republican running for re-election or against a Democrat, will be tied to this awful piece of legislation be they running for the House or Senate. What this country needs is to eliminate the middle man, the health insurance companies, and deal directly to the people. A Universal Heealth Care plan as with most of the industrialized world is the answer. No American should have to suffer and die due to the lack of health care in this country.

Kamala Harris is right.

[Wounded Bear]

6. Agreed...

purity tests will not work in the Democratic Party. Trying to mirror what the Repubs have done will do nothing but turn the Dem party into a rump party.

[renate]

11. welcome to DU!

[Aristus]

5. I'm seconding WinkyDink. Edit your header.

She's a Democratic Senator.

[NastyRiffraff]

8. Wow! Good for her

Now wait for Dump and Republican Congressmonsters to whine about cursing.

[iluvtennis]

18. Grab 'em by the p*ssy is much more vulgar than WTF to me. GOP cheaters only know how to whine

[NastyRiffraff]

20. True but, IOKIYAR

Personally, I've never cussed so much in my life as I have since the Orange Snake slithered his way into the White House.

Fuck.

[iluvtennis]

25. LOL...I right there with you on the cursing front

[Honeycombe8]

9. Good for her. But I would prefer less vulgar language from our federal reps.

It's bad enough that Trump does it. I don't want to see it spread.

There needs to be some sort of standard of decorum among our representatives. They are role models.

Note: I'm no prude, and I talk like a sailor sometimes. But not publicly and not as a representative of the government.

[WoonTars]

10. "Role models"? Since when?

Unless you mean that they're are examples of how NOT to behave....

[Honeycombe8]

14. I'm just sayin'....if we complain about how Trump speaks & acts,

we have no credibility if we think it's okay for others because we agree with the substance of what they're saying.

That blurs the clear difference between the two sides.

[WoonTars]

24. Fair point...

I just think that there are bigger fish to fry and that a good number of the folks in Congress are hardly role models unless you were an up and coming mobster looking for pointers...

[sarge43]

12. In most instants you're right; however,

when a cruel creep says that no one dies from lack of health care, it's time to go to DefCon 1 and drop the F bomb.

[iluvtennis]

27. +++ agree

[Honeycombe8]

30. Fine for you and me. Not fine for a federal public official. I expect more than...

something that I'd say in anger.

[sarge43]

33. Well, I'm happy and somewhat amazed that there are still federals

that don't check public opinion first before calling out this offense against common decency and humanity.

[Honeycombe8]

34. Trump doesn't check public opinion before speaking. The "good side" is better than Trump.

Children should be able to hear and read anything they say.

[pangaia]

15. With all due respect to your opinions.. :))) I disagree....,.

I would say to republicans,
FUCK THAT SHIT YOU FUCKING LYING ASSHOLES!'



Somebody needs to do it. There ain't much left.

[Honeycombe8]

16. All those are in the same bucket as those who are crass and undeserving of public office,

and those who serve as role models, and behave as though they have respect for their office.

I view it the same way, no matter who says it.

Trump: F__k that!

Person B (anyone): F__k that!

It's the same thing. It makes no difference what I think of what they're referring to. It's either appropriate for a public office or it's not.

I will never vote for anyone who speaks that way. You wouldn't catch Obama speaking that way. If you have a good grasp of the English language, and are good at articulating points, you don't need to have a trash mouth to make a good point. In fact, the less trashy, the more the impact. This has been true throughout history.

"Give me liberty, or give me death" instead of "F__ 'em!"

"Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." instead of "We're gonna lose our f__king liberty!"

"A penny saved is a penny earned" instead of "F__k spending!"

One form is speech and debate. The other is a temper tantrum.

[pangaia]

22. Well, i can not argue with that.

We could appear together as good cop/bad cop.

[Honeycombe8]

29. Dibs on good cop! nt

[pangaia]

32. You got it...

[treestar]

19. Never heard Donald of Orange use a curse word

It's the content that is vulgar.

I don't mind it that it made her angry enough to curse.

[Honeycombe8]

21. Yes. He used the F word a number of times on the campaign trail.

There's a story out there, even, where Trump is being holier than thou and criticizing the Mexican President for using the F word, "something that I'd never do." The video then shows a bunch of instances of Trump using the F word on the campaign trail.

Yes, Trump was angry (or pretending to be), when he used the F word.

[Hekate]

13. Another strong California woman! Go get 'em Kamala!

[BigmanPigman]

17. As soon as I read this I called and thanked her offices (local and DC). Two thumbs up!

[Tikki]

23. Better get used to it. She may not always use the f word but she puts verbal force behind her...

actions against evil doers.

A bank did my husband and me wrong, she went after the bank and got money back
for us and she didn't get it back by saying, "Have a pleasant day, we would like the money you misused back."

I ALWAYS WANT KAMALA ON MY SIDE.
Tikki

[iluvtennis]

28. Love the real life story.

[Tikki]

31. A repug politician would have said something like.."Tough Ti**y, you signed a paper" Not KAMALA...

She went after the law breakers, made them pay up and the way it was handled...like we had been abused, not like we were gaming the system, somehow.

I want her on California's side and there for the American people.

Tikki

26. That's my Senator!!!!!!!! Bravo Senator Harris
