Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris appeared to be caught off guard Monday when she was asked about the latest developments in the alleged attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett.
During an appearance at a bookstore in Concord, N.H., a female reporter asked the senator from California if she wanted to amend a tweet from Jan. 29, in which she said Smollett was the victim of "an attempted modern day lynching" and called the actor "one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know."
"Which tweet? What tweet?" Harris asked. As the reporter specified the tweet in question, Harris appeared to look around for a campaign staffer before responding.
"OK, so, I will say this about that case," she said. "I think that the facts are still unfolding, and, um, I’m very, um, concerned about obviously, the initial, um, allegation that he made about what might have happened.
"And it’s something we should all take seriously whenever anyone, um, alleges that kind of behavior, but there should be an investigation," Harris added. "And I think that once the investigation has concluded then we can all comment, but I’m not going to comment until I know the outcome of the investigation."

Chicken shit bitch.
You’re not supposed to ask Democrat presidential candidates questions before they’ve been told how to answer them.
“I’m not going to comment until I know the outcome of the investigation.”
LOL. Too late!
Was Kamala Harris with the little liar?
Sounds about like my kid when questioned on something he’s done.. “What? Which one? I don’t know?”
She didn't have any trouble 'commenting' BEFORE the investigation about white people................
Many times..................
She CHOKED.
“... I’m not going to comment until I know the outcome of the investigation.”
The problem is, she already commented as soon as the allegation was made. What she should have done is made the above statement at that time, not now.
She was IN on it..!
She and Corey Booker had new hate crime legislation already written and ready to go when —OH WOW— this taylor-made HHHHHHHHhate crime so luckily occured.
Amazing timing, don’t you think?
And the two already KNEW each other.
And his sis worked directly for Obama.
[ but I’m not going to comment until I know the outcome of the investigation ]
Too late you race-baiting Democrat opportunistic whore who slept her way to the top.
You already did. And it’s documented.
. With Kamala Harris, this is worse than just the false accusation. This incident was used to slip language that gives federal protected status to LGBT claimants into a supposedly “Anti-lynching” bill at the last minute. It has passed the Senate. Probably no Senators ever read it, much less knew about the last minute additions. Our Congress is derelict in their duties,if not downright evil.
Well, that gratuitous smear of Trump supporters is already on record, so I'd say that ship has already sailed. Someone who refuses to comment on a comment she just made wants it left in place without being called to justify it, nothing more.
So what did Harris know and when did she know it? That's the sort of question that's about to come up, and she'd better have a pretty good cover story ready.
Where is the push by the squish Republicans to Oust her from the Senate for Conduct Unbecoming?? If she can not wait for FACTS before passing Judgement, should she EVER be in the US Congress??
NO
“Well, here is what I’m going to say about that..”
That is a CLASSIC “time-buyer” made famous by JFK.
It’s what you say to buy a little time to scare up an answer in your mind when you have NO IDEA WHAT TO SAY.
And then even after that she still had no idea what to say.
This smells like a whoooole lotta smoke, there’s fire in there, somewhere.
