Iowa not crazy about Ms. Harris.
According to a report from The New York Post, Vice President Kamal Harris was booed inside Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa while watching her alma mater, Howard University, get blown out in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.
The cringe carried over into the locker room, as well.
“You guys are so good, you guys are so good,” Harris said as she met the team and gave them a round of applause. “You played hard, you played to the very last second, you made all us Bisons so, so proud.”
“You are smart. You are disciplined. You put everything you had into the game,” Harris said. “And you know that’s what it’s about, right. Until the last minute, you guys did that, you didn’t stop until the last second, you did not stop, and that is so inspiring. So you keep playing with chin up and shoulders back because you showed the world who Bison are.”
“You make us so proud, so I know you might not be feeling great right now, OK, but know who you are: You are excellence, you are hard work, you are powerful and you are winners,” she said before offering a tour of the White House to the group of young men.
