00:00Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for a wide-ranging interview Tuesday in Detroit
00:04with radio host Charlamagne Tha God.
00:07The presidential candidate brushed off criticism that she comes across as, quote, very scripted,
00:12wearing her cautious style as a badge of honor.
00:15You know, folks say you come off as very scripted.
00:17They say you like to stick to your talking points.
00:19And some media says you have—
00:20That would be called discipline.
00:21Ooh.
00:22Uh-huh.
00:23Okay.
00:24Asked about how she would engage with the Black community and the Black church specifically,
00:27Harris said that she had, quote, grown up in the church and that any suggestion otherwise
00:32was slander by the, quote, Trump team.
00:35At one point, Charlamagne pointed out that Harris is facing the issue of misinformation
00:39in this year's election, particularly on her history as a prosecutor.
00:43Harris explained that allegations of her jailing thousands of Black men in San Francisco for
00:48weed are untrue.
00:50And my pledge is as president, I will work on decriminalizing it because I know exactly
00:56how those laws have been used to disproportionately impact certain populations and specifically
01:02Black men.
