IT'S APPROPRIATE TO WEIGH IN ON THE RACIAL IDENTITY OF YOUR OPPONENT? >> I DON'T. AND I DON'T CARE. I DON'T CARE WHAT SHE IS. I DON'T CARE. YOU MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF SOMETHING. I COULDN'T CARE LESS WHATEVER SHE WANTS TO BE OK WITH ME. BUT THOSE WERE YOUR WORDS. SO I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, ALL I CAN SAY IS I READ WHERE SHE WAS NOT BLACK. THAT SHE PUT OUT. I'LL SAY THAT AND THEN I READ THAT USE BLACK. AND THAT'S OK, EITHER ONE WAS OK WITH ME. THAT'S UP TO HER. THAT'S UP TO VICE PRESIDENT. HARRIS, YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS? >> I THINK IT'S I MEAN, HONESTLY, I THINK IS THAT IT A TRAGEDY THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT, WHO HAS CONSISTENTLY OVER THE COURSE OF HIS CAREER. ATTEMPTED TO USE RACE TO DIVIDE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE VAST MAJORITY SNOW THAT WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE IN COMMON THAN WHAT SEPARATES US AND WE DON'T WANT. THIS KIND OF APPROACH THAT IS JUST CONSTANTLY TRYING TO DIVIDE US AND ESPECIALLY BY RACE. AND LET'S REMEMBER. HOW DONALD TRUMP STARTED. HE WAS OF LAND OWNED LAND, HE OWNED BUILDINGS HE WAS INVESTIGATED BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO RENT. PROPERTY TO BLACK FAMILIES. LET'S REMEMBER, THIS IS THE SAME INDIVIDUAL. WHO TOOK OUT A FULL PAGE AD IN THE NEW YORK TIMES. CALLING FOR THE EXECUTION. OF 5 YOUNG, BLACK AND LATINO BOYS WHO WERE INNOCENT. THE CENTRAL PARK 5. TOOK OUT A FULL-PAGE AD CALLING FOR THEIR EXECUTION. THIS IS THE SAME INDIVIDUAL WHO SPREAD BIRTHS ARE LIES ABOUT THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. BETTER THAN THAT. WHAT BETTER THAN THIS? WANT SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS AS I DO, I TRAVEL OUR COUNTRY. WE SEE IN EACH OTHER A FRIEND WE SEE IN EACH OTHER AND NEIGHBOR. WE DON'T WANT A LEADER WHO WAS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO HAVE AMERICA'S POINT THEIR FINGERS AT EACH OTHER. I MEET WITH PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. WHO TELL ME? CAN WE PLEASE JUST HAVE DISCOURSE ABOUT HOW ARE GOING TO INVEST IN THE ASPIRATIONS AND AMBITIONS AND THE DREAMS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. KNOWING THAT REGARDLESS OF PEOPLE'S COLOR OR THE LANGUAGE THEIR GRANDMOTHER SPEAKS. WE ALL HAVE THE SAME DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS AND WANT A PRESIDENT WHO INVEST IN THOSE NOT IN HATE AND DIVISION. >> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS,
