Kamala Harris drops F-bomb at leadership summit, sparking audience reaction. Watch the video here | World News

US Vice President Kamala Harris made headlines on Monday after using the F-word during a speech at the annual Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies Legislative Leadership Summit. The event, moderated by Jimmy O. Yang, was live-streamed on the White House website.

Harris’s statement, “Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that f****** door down,” was met with laughter and applause from the audience. She quickly followed up with “Excuse my language,” as the crowd continued to laugh.

Moderator Jimmy O. Yang jokingly suggested making T-shirts with the saying, “Kick the f****** door down,” which further entertained the audience.

During her speech, Harris also reflected on the sacrifices and resolve of her mother, who immigrated from India to the United States in the 1950s. She shared her mother’s advice to ensure that she is not the last to achieve milestones.

While some may find Harris’s language surprising for a public figure, similar instances of explicit language have been used in US politics, including by past presidents. Social media reactions to the video clip of Harris’s statement varied, with some praising her boldness and others expressing support for her.

Overall, Harris’s candid use of language added a touch of humor and authenticity to the event, showcasing her determination and willingness to break barriers.
