During a summit for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander groups, Vice President Kamala Harris had some eyebrow raising advice for young activists.

Speaking during a summit for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander groups, Vice President Kamala Harris issued a passionate plea to young voters—even dropping the "f-bomb" in the process.

Harris, taking the lead in the Biden-Harris re-election campaign's advocacy for women's and reproductive rights, delivered these comments at a leadership summit. During the event, she also shared the story of her parents meeting at a civil rights march.


Harris made the following remarks while emphasizing the significance of breaking barriers and being a trailblazer:

“We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that fucking door down.”
“Here’s the thing about breaking down barriers. It does not mean that you start on one side of the barrier and end up on another. There’s breaking involved."
"And when you break things you get cut and you may bleed. And it is worth it every time.”

Cheers erupted, to which Harris responded:

"Excuse my language."

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Many appreciated her strong response.



Although it is not customary for presidents and vice presidents to use profanity, it is increasingly common, albeit usually in private or leaked conversations.

In 2022, President Joe Biden was caught swearing on a hot mic while speaking with the mayor of Fort Myers, Florida. Biden was meeting with Mayor Ray Murphy during a trip to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ian which resulted in more than $50 billion in damages and at least 130 deaths between Cuba, Florida, and North Carolina.

Biden apparently jived with Murphy so much that he joked, "No one f**ks with a Biden," to the delight of social media users.

Biden also once described his rival, former President Donald Trump, as a "sick fuck," according to sources who spoke to Politico.

People Describe The Most Insane Event They've Ever Witnessed

Chaos is, according to the lexicographers at Oxford, a "state of complete disorder and confusion."

Humans find chaos entertaining to watch—hence the popularity of so-called reality TV—but not as much fun to be in the thick of. People may love the moment a "Real Housewife" flips a table, but would be less thrilled if a family member did it during dinner.

Kim Kardashian Mocked For Beige 'Ozempic Santa' In NYC Skims Store—And This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

Santa Claus has survived centuries of tradition, but he was no match for beige, shapewear, or Kim Kardashian. A holiday TikTok posted last Monday to the SKIMS account sparked widespread mockery after showing Santa Claus visiting the brand’s New York City flagship store in a look that was unmistakably on-brand.

Gone was the iconic red velvet suit. In its place was a muted beige ensemble that looked less North Pole and more minimalist showroom chic.

Guy Calls Out Bugles For 'Ruining' His Childhood After They Changed Their Iconic Shape

Possibly more than any other generation, Millennials were raised with interactive snacks and candies. From dippable cookies and candies to chips perfectly shaped for scooping and build-your-own pizzas, consumers found the interactive experience to be more important than the food itself.

Bugles are a fan favorite example, because while the chips were tasty and crispy, with a solid variety of flavors to choose from, the real point of them was their iconic shape, like the mouth of a bugle horn. Though we didn't openly talk about it at the time, it was a Millennial pastime to put the Bugles on our fingers like long nails, pretending we were fashionistas and gremlins and vampires.
