Harris wishes "attacks from within" were handled as Americans and not through "partisan lens"

Vice President Kamala Harris made an appearance on "Meet the Press" Sunday morning and was asked by host Chuck Todd to compare the attacks of 9/11 to the "attacks from within" that threaten Democracy today.

"We're at the 21st marking, if you will, of the September 11th attacks," says Todd at the opening of the segment. "This was a foreign terrorist attacking our Democracy. We're now, as a nation, battling a threat from within. Is the threat equal or greater than what we faced after 9/11?"

"That's an interesting question," Harris says. "I have held many elected offices as district attorney, attorney general, senator and now vice president, and there's an oath that we always take which is to defend and uphold our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We don't compare the two in the oath, but we know they both can exist and we must defend against it."

Going on to compare her experience with the different dangers found in the two threats — meaning both domestic and foreign — Harris recalls times when republicans, democrats and independents entered a secure facility known as the SCIF, rolled up their sleeves, and addressed matters at hand not through a partisan lens, but as Americans fighting for a unified good "on common ground, with a common purpose, which is to defend our Nation against attacks."

They hate democracy, they hate opposition, and they hate the will of the people.

If you spend a few minutes listening to fox news or right wing radio it won't be long before you hear the word "democrats" and how they are ruining the country. People are being indoctrinated to hate their fellow citizens.
