On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered remarks in Highland Park, IL, just one day after the horrific mass shooting that killed 7 people during an Independence Day parade. Unfortunately, the Veep’s appearance didn’t provide much comfort to the community —in fact, she was roasted on Twitter shortly after.
“We got to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are because you have been forced to have take this seriously,” Harris told a crowd.
“The whole nation should understand and have a level of empathy to understand that this could happen anywhere [to] any people in any community,” she continued. “And we should stand together and speak out about why it’s got to stop.”
