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.

She really meant you have to “F” that dude to get thru that door.
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and Krusty the Clown are somewhere in Carmella’s family tree.
Tell Asian American and Pacific Islanders to kick the door down while at the same time slamming the door shut in their face because they score “too high” on the SATs and don’t leave room for DEI college admissions.
Very interesting her saying this to Asians...because she supported Harvard Universities’ racist discriminatory policies of limiting Asian student enrollment...BECAUSE they were Asian.
She must mean the bedroom door.
If Biden is re-elected, she will be our President in two years.
Keep talking like that Kamala. Get after it.
We have a winner.
Expect progressives to have no class and you will never be disappointed.
The left and their “strong women” hooey. What is independent and empowering about being the concubine of a crooked, married politician? Felicitating your way to standing behind a demented pervert ought to be embarrassing. It would be for a real woman.
That heavy door comes off it’s hinges pretty easy. Seems those battering rams cops use are useless.
Or suck off a powerful man.... Amiright Kamala
