In reply to the discussion: Kamala Harris drops an f-bomb [View all]

(6,670 posts)74. Yes, these words are not unknown to them. But it makes the job of responsible parents *
* more challenging when kids justify it with "... but Vice President Harris uses the F-word!" (Or "... but Senator Fetterman has a potty mouth!'') And in the end, it just lowers the bar and does nothing to promote a respectful conversation among our representatives. I believe that we should hold our elected representatives to a higher standard, especially the President and Vice President.
The headline is that VP Harris "dropped the f-bomb" and that's what most people will remember, rather than whatever the message was she was trying to convey.

Yes, it is. I am disappointed. Are you trying to speak for me? Or am I being accused of being dishonest?

Okay. It saddens me that all the little girls who see her as a role model will hear this vulgar language.

Okay. It fortifies me that all the little girls who see her as a role model will see this fortitude and strength.

So more accurately, your standards are actually not higher, merely your opinions of your own standard are higher.

The "lily livered" crowd of religious fundamentalists that abhor foul language as from the Devil are a dying breed

I applaud this. She's speaking hard truths and sometimes that means using what some view as unpleasant language

Apparently the only way media will report on anything Kamala "The Invisible Woman" Harris does.

We'll all be dropping f-bombs if #DementiaDonnie gets back into the White House.

This wasn't a "formal speech", the event was dubbed a "conversation" where she answered questions and gave remarks

You're welcome. I usually try to add videos of her since she is reported on so rarely
