Kamala Harris gives awkward response when asked about Jussie Smollett claims
Fox News ^ | 1/18/19 - 27 minutes ago | Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News

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."

It would appear she was in on the hoax. Now she is seeing her worthless political career swirling down the toilet (even her Dad is calling her a race baiter for insinuating that all Jamaicans smoke pot) and now she’s in a panic.

What tweet?

Schadenfreude.

She knew damn well which Tweet. What an a-hole. A cowardly, brainless a-hole.

They have probably been having meetings about how to handle the stupidity on their part.

But, but, you already commented without knowing the outcome.

Harris is a bigoted anti-Catholic, e.g. Nick Sandman, Bret Kavanaugh, comments about the Knights of Columbus. Yet no one calls her on her disgraceful opinions.

She has absolutely NO CLUE about the tweet...

One of her staffers did it. ;-)

What a pig. She’s only concerned about what he claimed, not reality. This chick is a California democrat slut, she cannot survive outside of a one party state. Being a California democrat is never having to speak the truth.

When the democrat party falls in California it will fall hard.

Kamala Harris' Father Slams Her "Pursuit Of Identity Politics" After Pot-Smoking Jamaicans Joke

“My dear departed grandmothers (whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.” -Jamaica Global Online

She didn’t make the tweet, and the staffer that made the tweet didn’t tell her or its bosses that the tweet was a problem. :-)

Yeah. She didn't make the tweet, and her social media team didn't tell her that the tweet is getting absolutely HAMMERED on Twitter.

I doubt if she even knows how to turn a computer on, given her background and age.

Her type has "people" to deal with the grubby computer world. ;-)

That is assuming she does *any* of her own tweeting, or has a clue about what she is doing.

Notice she looked for help from her handlers.

She is nearly helpless outside the California protected preserve for leftist politicians, where she would never be asked such a question.
