The Media Condemns Kamala Harris For Refusing To Ever Answer Questions

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris has a habit of avoiding the press. Recently she faced renewed scrutiny when she quickly left the stage without taking questions after a speech in which she criticized President Trump for his efforts to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat before the election.

Besides her role as Joe Biden’s running mate, Harris is also a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and will have an opportunity to directly question Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett in any confirmation hearing that would take place prior to November 3rd.

The event, which took place in North Carolina’s Shaw University, a historically black college, was closed to the general public and attended only by news reporters.

Harris’s speech was heavily criticized by the research wing of the Republican National Committee for ripping the GOP’s plan to move forward with the nomination so close to an election.

“We will not give up, and we will not give in,” Harris said in her speech. “We will not let the infection that President Trump has injected into the presidency and into Congress, that has paralyzed our politics and pitted Americans against each other, spread to the United States.”

President Trump nominated Barrett Saturday for the Supreme Court seat and in her speech, Harris warned that Barrett’s presents to the Supreme Court would endanger former President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. 

Reporters from several different outlets question why Harris refuses to address the media and  Trump and members of his campaign are complaining that the press has given both Biden and Harris a free pass from answering questions. 

Last week Fox News pointed out that Harris hasn’t participated in a single formal press conference since being confirmed as Biden’s running mate in AugustAnd has only spoken to friendly outlets such as BET, MSNBC, and CNN.
