Former Vice President Kamala Harris torched members of her own party on Sunday and said she was "exhausted" by those only concerned with their titles.
The former vice president was asked about how the Democratic Party could earn back the trust of Black women.
"First of all, the party has got to understand that the voices of true leaders in the community must be the priority and not those people who've been holding on to these titles and are full-time invested in preserving their title at the expense of actually getting anything done,"Harris said at The Root's Power Rising event.
"I am exhausted by these people," she continued, noting that she was the second Black woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. "AOC can tell you about the number of people, including Democrats, who will walk around the Capitol with their flag pin and all their interns running behind them, and they will just think they are so important."
She argued that accountability needed to be part of the work.
"It's been a bit controversial, but one of the things I've been saying is this. As I have reflected on what has been going on, I've come to the realization that part of the issue is part of the frailty, I think, of human nature for some is they are purely transactional people," Harris said.
The former vice president said it was okay for Black women to be "transactional" too.
"They're not pretending to be grounded in morals or values or principles," Harris said. "They're not pretending. They're literally not pretending. They're in it for what they can get out of it. Their mantra is, 'I'm going to get mine.' I think it's okay for us to be a bit transactional, too, and to say,'I'm going to get mine also.'"

More gibberish from Kamala.
SHE CAN ONLY LEAD TO THE BAR....
I’d rather hear from my local Walmart greater. Honestly.
Go away already.
how is she not "one of these people"? She converted a dating relationship with Wille Brown into, eventually, a US Senate seat.
At first, she almost made sense, but then the Kamala salad gene took over.
“She converted a dating relationship with Wille Brown into, eventually, a US Senate seat.”
And now she’s calling out the “transactional” folks. Lol!
“..they will walk around the Capitol with their flag pin, and all their interns running behind them, and they will think they are so important!”
**That is exactly how I’ve heard Kamala herself described by many who worked or tried to work with her. She also jumps all over her assistants when she says something the media later criticizes. Meanwhile, 88% of what she just said is either a repetition, changing the order of the words, or something that doesn’t make any logical sense.
Go away, Please. You just make yourself look dumber, every time you open your mouth.
The legal exam is the only bar she’s never passed.
I’m getting tired of having to read every statement she says three times to understand it.
They're not pretending to be grounded in morals or values or principles, like I am" Harris said.
There. Fixed it. <>
“gibberish” — no kidding. Not a cogent or coherent thought in that jumble of words. She is such a freaking idiot.
Who?
Where is my Star Trek Tricorder? It can translate 10,000 universal languages.
Followed by: I need a drink. 🍸🍸
I coulda been somebody. I coulda been a contender. Now what am I, a bum, to be honest.
Sounded better when Marlon Brando said it.
I tried to diagram this sentence. It turned into a Mobius Loop and then disappeared into a puff of pure illogic.
‘I’m going to get mine also.’”
