'That will satisfy the gullible': Kamala Harris was asked about hammering Biden's record on race during Dem debate, and 'what kind of answer is this?'

When Kamala Harris agreed to an interview with Stephen Colbert, it was perhaps in no small part with the knowledge that he’s a big fan:

Thank god it's Kamala! I was worried Biden was going to pick someone else who would have made me absolutely still vote for him no matter what.

However, Colbert did bring up one subject, and that was Harris hammering Biden’s record on race during the Dem debates while saying she “didn’t believe he’s a racist.” ::nudge nudge::

Colbert asked Harris about that, and Biden’s running mate had a great answer at the ready. Wait, no she didn’t — Harris instead basically said she was lying during the debates:

Kamala Harris basically accused Joe Biden of being a racist during the debates and her only defense is “it was a debate”.

So did you never think he was racist and knowingly falsely accused him of being one or are you now just ok with being on a ticket with a racist? pic.twitter.com/0axLvxtf9Z

Lucky for Harris she was being interviewed by a friendly or there might have been some follow-up questions, such as “so then you were lying during the debate?”

She knew that question was coming at some point, and *that* was the best she could come up with? https://t.co/ZVktaiFZsZ
