Kamala Harris gives awkward response when asked about Jussie Smollett claims

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."

She didn't have any trouble 'commenting' BEFORE the investigation about white people................

1.) She sure did go after the moderate milquetoast beer swilling Brett Kavanaugh

2.) Harris is whiter than most white people I know

3.) Harris is so “authentic” she married a ballless looking white dude.

You may be right . . . That foto of Jussie Fruit and Cameltoe making the rounds was taken at a rally in support of her anti-lynching legislation.

I'll bet one of the staffers told her the tweet had been 'taken care of'.

Some staffer probably tweets for her. She had no idea what was even on her own timeline. Ha ha.

Kampala is every bit as packaged as the kenyan was. I bet her flunky staffer wrote it and she had no idea what is tweeted on her behalf.

Democrats only withhold comment after the fact, when the evidence demonstrates how they wrongly rushed to judgment.

Harris sent out this tweet when VA's Ralph (blackface) Northam got elected:
" Northam's election showed that Virginia won't stand for hatred and bigotry"

====================================

Kamala Harris' actual tweet
@KamalaHarris Congratulations to @RalphNortham and his team
for showing that Virginia won’t stand for hatred and bigotry.

pre the staged event? why wasn’t Smollett dropped by Fox when he posted “45 and all his white hooded cohorts”?

TWEET: Jussie Smollett
.@AOC is only speaking facts. This is so far beyond political party affiliation. Across the world...no matter the border...from sea to shining sea...45 and all his white hooded cohorts are a national disgrace. And if you support them...so are you. Clowns.

I assume that’s her staff behind her. Notice how she turned to them and appeared to be asking “Why wasn’t I told about this?’’.

Didn't stop her when she first heard the fake news. She weighed right in.
