Kamala Harris: ‘I Don’t Think America is a Racist Country’ BUT…

Vice President Kamala Harris said “I don’t think America is a racist country,” but addressed racism in both U.S. history and today, as well as the threat of white supremacist terrorism.

On Thursday morning’s edition of Good Morning America, host George Stephanopoulos asked the VP to respond to part of Senator Tim Scott’s rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s address before Congress, during which Scott declared that “America is not a racist country.”

“Senator Tim Scott said last night that America is not a racist country,” Stephanopoulos said, and asked “Do you agree with that, and what do you make of his warning against fighting discrimination with more discrimination?”

“I believe that we need to come up, well first of all, no I don’t think America is a racist country,” Harris said. “But we also do have to speak truth about the history of racism in our country, and it’s existence today.”
