Your favorite Kamala Harris debate quote was about Donald Trumps threat to democracy
This week,we atLGBTQ Nationasked you, the readers, what your favorite quote was from Vice President Kamala Harris during her debate with Donald Trumps debate.The quote you picked was a response to a question about democracy, posed by co-moderator David Muir after Trump ranted about how he still believes he won in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania in 2020 despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud being found after multiple court cases.Trump said he didnt say that he lost by a whisker. So he still believes he did not lose the [2020] election, Muir said, discussing Trumps call to prosecute donors, voters, and election officials, who he claimed cheated. Muir asked Harris if she believes Trump is trying to intimidate and suppress the vote by bringing up the lie that he won the 2020 election again.Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. So, lets be clear about that. And clearly, he is having a very difficult time processing that, Harris responded before explaining how she believes this reflects on his character.

Then Harris said the quote that you all picked: World leaders are laughing at Donald Trump. I have talked with military leaders, some of whom worked with you. And they say youre a disgrace.And when you then talk in this way in a presidential debate and deny what over and over again are court cases you have lost, because you did, in fact, lose that election, it leads one to believe that perhaps we do not have in the candidate to my right the temperament or the ability to not be confused about fact, she continued. Thats deeply troubling. And the American people deserve better.
