reprehensible

[subterfuge]

She is admitting to using lawfare against Americans where it suits her. She’s a tyrant just like shit-for-brains Biden.

I found the original speech in the C-Span archives.

This was a campaign speech at the Portsmouth, New Hampshire Democratic annual banquet dinner on September 6, 2019.

The comments are taken a bit out of context, but no more so than President Trump's "very fine people" comment, "bloodbath" comment, or "peacefully and patriotically protest" comment.

It's really a case of what's good for the gander, too, here.

Here is the link (the relevant part starts at the 18:49 mark): https://www.c-span.org/video/?464034-1/senator-kamala-harris-portsmouth-hampshire-democratic-dinner

Partial transcript:

Let's talk about it for a moment, this election, what is before us in 2020. Joe [unknown] talked about it. You were incredibly eloquent in the way you contextualized it. We have a guy in the White House who has debased the office of the president of the United States.

I started my career as a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney's office that Earl Warren once ran. The symmetry in terms of my life is I actually started my career in the office of a great American who, when he was the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, he decided the desegregation of America's schools was such a fundamental principle about who we are as a nation, if we are going to be true to the values of the Constitution of the United States, that he said it is imperative that this not be 5-5… 5-4, 6-3. It is imperative that the unanimous United States Supreme Court decide this case.

The commitment he put into it, to ensure the United States Supreme Court unanimously would decide to desegregate classrooms and United States… the symmetry of that I have always loved. He did that, which allowed me to stand in front of you as a serious candidate for President of the United States.

I was 22 when I started that work. I learned that with the swipe of my pen I could charge someone with the lowest level offense, and because of the swipe of my pen, that person could be arrested, they could sit in jail for at least 48 hours, they could lose time from work and their family might lose their job. They would have to come out of their own pocket to hire a lawyer, they would lose standing in their community, all because of the swipe of my pen. Weeks later, I could dismiss the charges but their life would forever be changed.

I learned at a very young age the power, the power to impact real human beings that we have when we hold these offices. I was just a lowly deputy DA. We have a person in the White House who holds the office of President of the United States, who does not fully, or even partially, understand what it means to have power. Let's be clear about that. He goes around swinging what he thinks is his power, but he does not understand what it means to be powerful.

When you truly understand what it means to be powerful, you understand that the greatest measure of your strength is not who you beat down, it is who you lift up. It is who you lift up. This is the nature and the character of the guy we have in the White House. And then, of course, he came into office on a campaign that was about make America great again.

For some of us, that required a question, for whom? For all of us, it may clear, he was talking about going back to something. Of course, we all asked, back to what? Back before the voting acts right? Back before the civil rights act? Back before Roe v. Wade? Back before Title IX? Back before federal minimum wage? We are not going back. We are not going back. [applause] We are not going back.

The point that we all know, which is why we are organized here tonight, renewing our commitment to what we are prepared to do over the course of the next many months. We all know, not only are we not going back, but it is time to turn the page on this guy. It is time to turn the page. Yes, Joe, in order to do that, he must be able to successfully prosecute the case against four more years of Donald Trump and it will take a prosecutor to do it. [applause]
