Kamala Harris doubles down on call to censor President Trump's tweets
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris sends letter to Twitter's CEO asking for the president's account to be suspended; reaction on 'The Five.'
Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., may have had what some are calling her "please clap" moment on Thursday when she got a not so favorable response to the question if America was "ready" for her to be president.
Speaking at a town hall event in Reno, Nev., Harris told attendees she wanted to "engage in real talk" about the state of the 2020 race.
"In this election, in the last couple- I mean, maybe couple of months, certainly a few weeks, there's this whole conversation that has been coming up about electability focused on our campaign," Harris said. "Is America ready for that?"
Several audience members were then heard responding "No" throughout the room, with Harris visibly shocked by what she heard.
"Well, yes they are," Harris told the crowd, sparking some laughter.
The exchange received mockery on social media, many comparing it to the memorable moment from the 2016 election when former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., urged a crowd at a campaign stop to "please clap."
