Kamala Harris Taunts Trump Over Sore Spots In New Interview: ‘Handed $400M On Silver Platter’ And ‘Filed Bankruptcy 6 Times’

Vice President Kamala Harris tried to strike a nerve when she told Roland Martin that former President Donald Trump was handed wealth “on a silver platter” and had to “file for bankruptcy six times!”

As polls tighten and concern mounts about the level of support from young Black men, the vice president is taking her message to several platforms that are influential with that group. In addition to Roland Martin Unfiltered , Harris is doing interviews with The Shade Room and Charlamagne Tha God this week.

But Harris has also been messaging to a demographic of one, taunting Trump at every opportunity.

During her interview on Monday’s edition of Black Star Network’s Roland Martin Unfiltered , the VP took aim at what leading Trumpologist Maggie Haberman has identified as one of Trump’s most sensitive areas — his image as a financial success:

ROLAND MARTIN: Even we look at historically Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, it actually did just impact African-Americans, impact on everyone else. But let’s talk about that, because so many people have only clipped that one part without understanding the public policy implications.

VP KAMALA HARRIS: That’s too bad. That’s too bad. I’m sorry to hear that. You’re right. So you know, that that I mean, going back even before. But Dr. King was very clear. Right?

If you have certain policies that recognize, one, that not everybody starts out on the same base. If you have public policy, and I’m talking about economic policy specifically at this point. But if you have public policy that recognizes historical barriers and what we need to do then to overcome — first speak truth about them and then overcome them, that in the process of doing that, not only are you directly dealing with the injustices and the the legal and procedural barriers that have been focused on Black folks, but by eliminating those barriers, everyone actually benefits. Right?

And I know that to be true. So my policies include what I know is going to have a profound impact on Black folks around economic policy, but everyone will benefit from them. I intend to create as president what I have named an opportunity economy that taps into the ambitions and the aspirations and the dreams of the American people.

And then addresses those in a way that recognizes, unlike my opponent, who was handed $400 million on a silver platter and then filed bankruptcy six times.

Not everyone has access to those kinds of resources. But when you give people access to those resources, they thrive and we all benefit. Opportunity economy.

That’s why I say I’m going to make sure that we give first time homebuyers a $25,000 down payment assistance. Because again, we know that when you look at the history of how Black folks have been denied the opportunity for homeownership, be it redlining or what we know has still been happening around a bias in home appraisals, that it is a barrier to achieving intergenerational success.

But when we address it by doing things like helping folks get their foot in the door with a down payment assistance, they will have the ability to be on that track of intergenerational wealth building.
