White House defends VP Harris’s use of profanity
The White House is defending Vice President Harris’s use of profane language. During a public appearance this week, the vice president used profanity while offering advice to young Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders about how to break through barriers. Asked about the appropriateness of the language, White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre described the vice president as “passionate.” Profanity in politics is nothing new, though.
