KAMALA HARRIS: "We must always defend peaceful protest & peaceful protesters. We should not confuse them w/those looting & committing acts of violence, including the shooter who was arrested for murder... We will not let these vigilantes and extremists derail the path to justice"

Harris: "The reality is that the life of a black person in America has never been treated as fully human. And we have yet to fulfill that promise of equal justice under law."

Harris: "The Republican convention is designed for one purpose -- to soothe Donald Trump's ego. To make him feel good."

Harris: "Here's what you have to understand about the nature of a pandemic. It's relentless. You can't stop it with a tweet. You can't create a distraction and hope it will go away."

Harris: "Instead of rising to meet the most difficult moment of his presidency, Donald Trump froze... the tragedy in all of this is it didn't have to be this bad. Look around. It's not like this and the rest of the world... all we needed was a competent president."
