The most important moment in Vice President Kamala Harris’ career came when she spoke out against racial segregation. In a 2020 presidential primary debate, Harris attacked President Joe Biden for opposing court-ordered busing to racially integrate schools.
“I'm going to now direct this at Vice President Biden,” Harris said. “To hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and careers on the segregation of race in this country. You also worked with them to oppose busing. You know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools.”
But it turned out that Harris had the exact same position as Biden on busing. A few days later, she admitted at an event in Iowa that she was opposed to mandating it. Harris called busing “one tool among many” to desegregate schools. In other words, Harris’ whole attack on Biden was based on a lie.
