Kamala Harris tells LeBron James’ manager Maverick Carter how leaders should speak… despite telling young people to ‘kick down the damn door’

Vice President Kamala Harris called on public figures to elevate public debate despite her history of using profanity in public.

The vice president spoke about leadership with Maverick Carter, the CEO of SpringHill and a friend and manager of basketball star LeBron James, on his podcast released Wednesday.

“Also, as an elected leader, if you understand the power of your voice and hopefully use it responsibly, it’s about elevating public debate,” she said.

Earlier this month, Harris urged young Asian-Americans to “kick down the damn door” as they seek opportunity, in comments that seemed like a calculated move to make headlines.

The vice president has repeatedly referred to her “favorite curse word” which she says “starts with an ‘m’ and ends with ‘ah,” she said, bursting into laughter in 2020. interview with NowThisNews.

‘Not eh!’ she added with a laugh.

In 2017, Harris used her favorite curse word in full during a live podcast recording of Pod Save America in San Francisco.

“I was told you shouldn’t say motherf***ah in these types of interviews,” Harris said with a laugh, when asked to share her thoughts on working in Washington DC with then-President Donald Trump.

During her podcast interview with Carter, Harris spoke about the importance of leadership and running political campaigns.

The vice president said she believed it was better for people to respect her than to agree with her.

“I’ve learned that it’s more important for people to respect you than to agree with any decision if they believe you were sincere in the process of reaching a decision,” she said.

Harris described political campaigns as “very ugly” as she increases her activities on the campaign trail.

“Elections and campaigning, it’s very much like a fight, you know people are going to say, oh, it’s like a marathon, it’s like a marathon when people are throwing tomatoes at you every step of the way,” she said.

‘I’m telling you. Literally,” she added with a laugh. “I’m not going to use the words I used to, well, off camera.”

The vice president, in his advice to aspiring leaders, warned against the public’s “limited perspectives” on who deserved to be in power.

“I believe you shouldn’t create barriers to their success based on other people’s limited views of who can do what,” she said. ‘For example, don’t let others’ limited vision of who can do what weigh you down. That’s never bothered me.’

The Biden campaign is sending Harris to energize the Black community ahead of the 2024 election, traveling to key swing states to highlight the administration’s achievements.

Her recently titled ‘Economic Opportunity Tour’ targets Black men as she meets with key Black personalities to highlight the need for them to vote.

“I decided I wanted to get away, get out of D.C. and get out into the neighborhood, into the community,” Harris said in an interview with activist Al Sharpton to preview her efforts.

Harris held a roundtable discussion with comedian DL Hughley in Milwaukee and an event with podcasting duo Rashad Bilal and Troy Milling in Atlanta as her tour continued.

But the vice president denies that the Biden campaign has a problem with black voters.

‘I do not agree with it. And it’s not my experience,” she told CNN earlier this month. “It’s literally not my experience.”
