Harris reflects on breaking down barriers: Sometimes ‘you need to kick that f***ing door down’ to accomplish your dreams
CNN ^ | 5/13/24 | Donald Judd, Michael Williams

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.

Not blunt terms.

Explicit obscene terms.

Outrageous talk for a VP.

Or just put your heels up in the air with the right person.

I literally just listened to a replay of this on FOX News. It was ridiculous, made worse by her cackle afterward.

All she did was sleep with an old creepy guy.

That as her route to power; a horny dude with zero taste.

It’d be a “me too” story if he wasn’t a black democrat and she very willing to whore herself.

It pains me to think of the amount of money and time wasted on trying to train her to do anything that was useful.

I'm so fed up with "dreams" and "dreamers". I really don't give a flying funk about these peoples "dreams".

Roll up your sleeves and get to work. To hell with your "dreams".

She had opposition to being promoted within the system; it was simply the system reacting normally to her ignorance and mediocrity.

People like her always see it as a fight against injustice when it is just them not being able to cut it in whichever system they are being post-tortoised or Peter-Principled upwards in. Such affirmative action people ultimately believe it is their due. Disgraceful. Didn't Earn It indeed.

Guess we shouldn’t expect anything but filth out of the mouth that was blowing Willie Brown for her first job.

What barriers? I heard our local communist NPR radio station KPFA commending Kneepads Harris as Presidential material in 1995.
