At NAACP dinner in Detroit, Sen. Kamala Harris says AG William Barr 'lied to Congress' and 'is clearly more interested in representing the president than the American people.'
Capping a week in which her testy exchange with Attorney General William Barr went viral, Sen. Kamala Harris on Sunday told a crowd of thousands gathered at a dinner hosted by the country's oldest NAACP chapter that Barr"lied to Congress" and"is clearly more interested in representing the president than the American people."
During her remarks, Harris also said her approach to the 2020 race is about challenging notions of electability and who can speak to Midwesterners. Michigan gave President Donald Trump his closest winning margin of any state, with the Republican finishing 10,704 votes ahead of Hillary Clinton. Much of the narrative focused on Clinton losing ground from Barack Obama's 2012 marks in many small-town and rural counties dominated by middle-class whites.
Harris told the largely African-American audience that as president, she plans to double the Justice Department's civil rights division, hold accountable social media platforms disseminating misinformation and cyberwarfare and address economic inequality for families and teachers.
