"It's a crying shame. My heart breaks for this community," Harris said during a panel interview on Tuesday with the National Association of Black Journalists. She condemned the impact of hate speech and misinformation on communities, emphasizing the necessity of responsible discourse from public figures.
"When you are bestowed with a microphone that big, there is a profound responsibility that comes with that," said Harris. Her statement underlines the immense influence that leaders wield and the ensuing duty to promote unity rather than division.
"Regardless of someone's background, their race, their gender, their geographic location, I know that people are deeply troubled by what is happening to that community in Springfield, Ohio, and it's got to stop," Harris asserted, calling for an end to hate and misinformation while reflecting on the unity of diverse communities.
"You cannot be entrusted with standing behind the seal of the President of the United States of America, engaging in that hateful rhetoric, that as usual, is designed to divide us as a country," said Harris, criticizing the divisive language used by political leaders and stressing the importance of fostering community and understanding.
