Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to get sidetracked during an interview with journalist Roland S. Martin, delivering a brief if confusing astronomy lesson during a conversation about her plan to implement policies that will disproportionately benefit black voters.
Martin set her up with a question about her political opponent, former President Donald Trump, claiming that he was specifically targeting cities that had high minority populations and attacking them as failing. Martin made no mention of the fact that Detroit — one of the cities in question — has had only Democrat mayors since 1962, but focused solely on racial demographics. The other two cities mentioned, Chicago and Washington, D.C., have been under Democrat control since 1931 and 1967, respectively.
Harris nodded in agreement before quickly veering off course.
