California Senator Kamala Harris accused Russia of deliberately using racism to disrupt the 2016 U.S. presidential elections and provoke Americans into fighting against each another.
"On this election issue, this longstanding adversary decided that they wanted to attack us where we are strong," Harris said Sunday morning."And one of the almost intangible strengths of America is we can hold ourselves out as a democracy, as flawed though we may be, it gives us the authority to walk in rooms and actually talk about human rights, talk about civil rights, talk about concepts of freedom.
Harris, who sits on Senate Homeland Security and Intelligence committees, said the U.S. is"very vulnerable to cyber threats" and that Russia's use of race as a way to dismantle American democracy proves to her that racial issues have become a national security threat. She noted that racism was a problem in the U.S. long before Trump was elected and it will be after he is out of office, but added that Americans can't condone any leader who fans the fires of racial division. She accused the president of running a"campaign of terror" that is dividing Americans and making them fear each other in a tactic very similar to that of the Russians.
California Senator Kamala Harris said Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election deliberately used racism to disrupt U.S. democracy and to provoke Americans into fighting one another."Russia interfered in the election of the president of the United States, regardless of what Donald Trump says," Harris told Todd."Listen to the intelligence community—they tell you that is true because it is true. That's a fact.
