From Fox News: Vice President Kamala Harris sidestepped answering directly whether she believes athletes should stand for the national anthem during an unearthed 2016 interview, instead delivering a rambling response that is currently receiving backlash on social media ahead of the general election.
While serving as attorney general of California, Harris joined PBS reporter David Nazar to discuss her Senate run and campaign platforms on issues such as criminal justice reform, the Black Lives Matter movement and the economy in California. During the discussion, Nazar pressed Harris if she believes athletes should stand for the national anthem.
“Should folks stand for the national anthem?” Nazar asked in the interview, which was published in October 2016.
Harris refused to say specifically whether athletes should stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner,” but instead launched into a tirade about protecting everyone’s rights to do whatever they want.
“We are all, and should be, treated as equals. We articulated those principles in our Constitution. And part of what we decided is what makes a fair and just and noble society in a democracy, a true democracy, is freedom of religion, freedom, right, of association, freedom to organize, First Amendment,” Harris claimed.
“So, that is part of who we are as a country, and I will defend it to the core, which is that we give people, certain choices in this country,” she declared.
“Remember: her “values have not changed,”” quipped the Trump War Room, sharing a video of the incredulous remarks.
