Kamala Harris: Biden 'praising' and 'coddling' segregationists shows ignorance on race

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris of California continued to criticize Joe Biden’s recent comments about segregationists, in an interview that aired Sunday on “Face the Nation.”

Correcting a question about why she was critical of Biden’s past work with lawmakers that held different values, Harris said, “Praising and coddling individuals who made it their life work and built their reputation off of segregation of the racists in the United States. That’s a problem. I would not be a member of the United States Senate if those men that he praised had their way. I wouldn’t.”
