“And is that a socialist or progressive perspective?” O’Donnell asked.
“No, no,” Harris replied, immediately laughing again.
“It is the perspective of — of a woman who grew up — a black child in America, who was also a prosecutor, who also has a mother who arrived here at the age of 19 from India. Who also, you know, l — likes hip-hop. Like, what do you wanna know?” she continued, repeatedly laughing.
The CBS News anchor then asked Harris to address President Trump’s comments about her at the Republican National Convention in August, specifically when he said that the former vice president would be “nothing more than a Trojan horse for socialist policies.”
“I am not gonna be confined to Donald Trump’s definition of who I or anybody else is. And I think America has learned that that would be a mistake,” she told O’Donnell.
Pressed further on the matter, Harris told the Sunday news program, “I would not have joined the ticket if I didn’t support what Joe was proposing.”
