Vice President Kamala Harris shared her disdain for the recent Supreme Court rulings by blaming “extremist so-called leaders.”
Harris attended Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.’s Rainbow Push Coalition convention Sunday to share some words with the congregation there. It was hosted at the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago, Illinois in an attempt to fulfill the coalition’s mission to “protect, defend, and gain civil rights by leveling the economic and educational playing fields, and to promote peace and justice around the world.

“Harris lamented the supposed conservative policies are doing the opposite, in her opinion.
“And let us acknowledge that the fight is more important than ever,” Harris said. “In this moment, across our country, we are witnessing hard-fought, hard-won freedoms under full-on attack by extremist so-called leaders.”
Harris would not name who she was referring to, but alluded that these “extremist leaders” have “an agenda to attack the importance of diversity, and equity, and inclusion, and the unity of the rainbow coalition” and have “laid the ground work for the Dobbs decision,” allowing the congregation to fill in the blank that she was referring to the political party that opposes hers, the Republican party. The vice president also went on to accuse opponents of attempting to disrupt “unfettered access to the ballot” and of banning books in order to “prevent the teaching of America’s full history.”
“As we know from Roman’s 5:5, hope does not disappoint us,” Harris ended her comments. “Let us march, let us vote, let us fight — knowing when we fight, we win.”
