Kamala Harris Would Not Answer if Americans Should Stand for the National Anthem

When asked, Kamala Harris could not bring herself to advocate for Americans to stand in honor of the national anthem.

Harris was asked the question in 2016 when she was running for U.S. Senator from California — a seat she eventually won. Naturally, like she always does when she doesn’t really want to answer a question, when asked she delivered a rambling word salad.

“We are all, and should be, treated as equals. We articulated those principles in our Constitution. And part of what we decided is what makes a fair and just and noble society in a democracy, a true democracy, is freedom of religion, freedom, right of association, freedom to organize, First Amendment,” she said in response.

“So, that is part of who we are as a country, and I will defend it to the core, which is that we give people certain choices in this country.”

That is not an answer.

GOP Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana blasted Harris for this, writing, “When a reporter asked VP Kamala Harris if people should stand for our national anthem, she dodged the question. I’ll answer it for her. The Arlington National Cemetery contains more than 400,000 reasons you should ALWAYS stand up for the Star-Spangled Banner.”
