Kamala Pushes Back On Question About Need To Sell COVID Relief If It’s So Popular

Reporter: “Madam Vice President, the White House said said — the White House has said repeatedly that this is a very popular law. If that’s the case, why is it important to get out and sell it?”

Kamala Harris: “It’s not selling it. It’s literally letting people know their rights. Right? It’s kind of like you — you buy a product, you’ve already been sold a product, but you need some directions on the box usually. Right? And so this is about, Hey, know that you’re entitled to this. File your taxes so that you can speed up the benefits that you’re going to receive. Talk to your friends and neighbors about getting vaccinations because we are speeding up the delivery and the supply of vaccinations in sites like UNLV. These are the things we’re doing to let people know what they’re entitled to and spread the word. Think of it more as a public education campaign. This is what’s happening, this is what you’re entitled to receive, and so go out there and get it."
