Harris’ disrespectful debate

Sat., July 13, 2019

The appearance of Kamala Harris at the June 27 Democratic debate certainly showed how tough she would be with President Trump! However, I think she should have directed it at Trump instead of trying to show her toughness at the expense of a highly respected former senator and vice president.

She came across as rude, immature and disrespectful. More like an undisciplined teenager than a mature person seeking the highest office in the land. Her outburst was obviously planned as an opportunity to show off her debate style, but it came across as a shouting exhibition at an undeserving third party.

Save it for Trump, Ms. Harris.
