| Kamala Harris Unable to Name a Legislative Accomplishment When Asked |
| 2018-08-11 |
| [Breitbart] Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) told the Call Your Girlfriend podcast in an interview released Friday that serving on various congressional committees is her biggest "win." Awkwardly, Harris struggled to name a specific legislative accomplishment the 2020 hopeful was a part of.Transcript is as follows: AMINATOU SOW: In the grand scheme of the Senate, you are relatively new to the job. KAMALA HARRIS: Yeah, I am‐ SOW: And‐ HARRIS: 18 months. SOW: Yeah, and we’re wondering, maybe, if you could talk about what at this point you could consider your biggest win or the thing that you’re like "Woah, when I look back at those 18 months this is the thing I want at the top of the resume." HARRIS: I’ll tell you. Umm. One of the things that I think, for me, is most important is the role that I serve on that various committees that I’m on ‐ umm ‐ which are oversight committees. Let’s be clear. Those committees exist to watch and question what is going on with our government, the United States government. So, I’m on Senate Intelligence, I’m on Homeland Security, I’m on Judiciary and the accomplishment then is for me is a function of what I think my role should be. Often, especially in the last 18 months, has been to try and get at the truth. And so, the accomplishment is, and the goal is to always make sure that we are being, and the system is being, as transparent as possible and that, frankly, the American public has the answers and that we’re being told the truth. When that happens, I feel a sense of accomplishment and when it doesn’t I feel a sense of frustration. |

| #10 HARRIS: I’ll tell you. .... a sense of frustration. Eight sentences, 164 words and I still have no idea what she does. Someone once said that if you can't describe what you do in a single, short declarative sentence, you don't have a real job. Here's a fine example. |

| #9 Pathetic. Another nothing. A creature of the same Great Society legislation that made the prior occupant of the White House electable. |

| #4 Well, Hillary served in the Senate for several years and never had any legislative accomplishments, yet she was super qualified to run for president. In fact she LIVED for many years and never had any accomplishments, other than she was one of the only women Bill Clinton public admitted having sex with. |

| #3 Akin to the guy that stole the plane at Sea-Tac, sometimes not crashing and burning has to be counted as an accomplishment. |
