Former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized members of her own party during a speech at The Root's Power Rising event on Sunday. She expressed frustration with Democrats who prioritize preserving their titles over achieving meaningful results. 'I am exhausted by these people,' Harris said, emphasizing that the party must prioritize the voices of true community leaders rather than those focused on maintaining their positions. She also referenced her experience as the second Black woman to serve in the U.S. Senate, noting that many in the party are more concerned with appearances than substantive work. 'AOC can tell you about the number of people, including Democrats, who will walk around the Capitol with their flag pin and all their interns running behind them, and they will just think they are so important,' Harris added. She argued that accountability is essential and that some individuals are purely transactional, focused on personal gain rather than shared values. Harris also suggested that Black women should be equally transactional in their political engagement, stating, 'They're not pretending to be grounded in morals or values or principles. They're literally not pretending. They're in it for what they can get out of it. Their mantra is, "I'm going to get mine." I think it's okay for us to be a bit transactional, too, and to say, "I'm going to get mine also."'
