Washington CNN — Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday reflected on her experiences as a barrier-breaking public figure, telling a crowd in blunt terms that sometimes they need to take it upon themselves strive for their own opportunities and successes – even if others may doubt them.
“We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open,” Harris said in a moderated conversation with actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang in Washington.
“Sometimes they won’t – and then you need to kick that f***ing door down,” she added, to applause and laughter from the crowd.
She added, “Excuse my language,” as the crowd continued to laugh and applaud.
Harris’ statement came as she marked Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, reflecting on her experience as the country’s first female, first Black and first Asian American vice president.
Harris told Yang that people should never use others’ preconceptions of what they’re capable of to limit their own dreams and desires.
“Don’t ever carry, as a personal burden, your capacity to do whatever you dream and aspire to do based on other people’s limited ability to see who can do what,” Harris said.
Harris this year has become a key figure for President Joe Biden’s administration and campaign, criss-crossing the country making points that might be more difficult for the president – an older white man – to make himself.
Her efforts have included serving as the administration’s point person on abortion rights, becoming the first sitting president or vice president to visit an abortion provider and traveling to states such as Florida and Arizona, where new court rulings and laws have thrown into doubt the future of abortion access.

Sometimes ‘you need to do some f***ing to get a door open
You can take the trash out of the ghetto, but, you can’t take the ghetto out of the trash.
What an embarrassment for the United States, to have these two low-life, low-class, grifters in charge.
A pedophile Prez, and a common whore VP, just disgusting!
“We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open,”
“Sometimes they won’t – and then you need to kick that f***ing door down,”.
Kick my door down, and see what happens girly!!!

Only works if the doors are not in D.C. They will shoot you there.
All these Asian students, knowing that the jobs are going to be given to illegal immigrants and not them. Kamala “Word Salad” Harris just lied to them.
I think I have this right.
If you’re non-white and don’t get the job, kick their effing door down and burn the company to the ground.
Whose door? Willie’s door.
and “Keep on rioting” - Kamalamadingdong 2020

Democrats say: Sometimes ‘you need to kick that f***ing door down’ [and steal other people’s stuff] to accomplish your dreams.
Sometimes you have to get on your knees and s*ck a politician’s weiner to get special favors, and move ahead of others.
Did the working janitors at Columbia get to kick down the doors to escape when the mob trapped them against their will?
True, Harris may be referencing the Jefferson Airplane song from October, 1969, We Can Be Together. “Up against the wall, m#@$@%#*&.”
“KAMALA MAKES STORMY LOOK LIKE PROM QUEEN”
Great comment. Heels-up Harris worked. her way into politics by doing Willie Brown. And lying about it.
