worked for one client the people meanwhile he's a 78-year-old lifelong predator fraudster and cheat known for inciting violent mobs listen y'all he's only looked out for one person himself as women

needs you she needs your one vote this November can we count on you some of you know a little bit of my history some of you don't so let me tell you I was a public defender I did criminal defense as well as practice civil rights law for almost two decades I know a good prosecutor when I see one KLA Harris is the kind of prosecutor we long for in the cases like those of Briana Taylor 5:03 yeah she was the first attorney general in the nation to order that her officers wear body cams and she started the back on track program to reduce recidivism listen y'all she did all these things because she genuinely cares about people she sees each person as just that a person not a statistic she's proven that since the first day she stepped into a courtroom and said would y'all already heard Hillary say I did not copy off of her speech I just want y'all to know she walked into that courtroom and said KLA Harris for the people and she meant that many of you know her credentials but what I love about kamla 6:00 Harris goes beyond her resume is that she sees the humanity in everyone she's the only candidate in this race who is capable of empathy when I first got to Congress I wasn't sure I made the right decision the chaos caucus couldn't elect the speaker and the oversight committee was unhinged I was going through all of this when I visited the vice president's residence for the first time as I approached vice president Harris for our official photo she turned to me and asked what's wrong mind you we'd never met but she saw right through me she saw the distress I immediately began crying 7:08 and the most powerful woman in the world wipe my tears and listen it's so hard for me to tell this story she then said among other things you are exactly where God wants you your District chose you because they believe in you and so do I I'm I'm stop okay the next month I went viral for the first of many times to come 8:01 for hitting Republicans with a dose of their own medicine that brief but impactful interaction gave me my legislative legs and I've been running ever since the question before us is will a vindictive vile villain violate voters vision for a better America or not I hear alliterations are back in style we deserve better we deserve a president who can be a bright light in a sea of Darkness one who will put us who will pull us forward because we won't go 9:05 back Amanda Gordon said it best there's always light if only we are brave enough to see it if only we are brave enough to be it KLA Harris showed me that light and America when she is our president together we will shine as that Beacon of Hope and freedom around the world once more God bless y'all
