Harris ‘stay woke’ video is all over social media
A 2017 video of Vice President Kamala Harris urging “everybody” to “stay woke” has made a comeback on social media and it’s sparking reactions.
“We have to stay woke. Like everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you’re the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke,” Harris said.
This occurred during Recode’s annual Code Conference, where philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, was also present.
At the conference, discussions centered on key issues like immigration and the environment. Vice President Kamala Harris voiced strong opposition to the Trump administration’s drug and immigration policies just before urging Americans to stay vigilant and “woke.”
Expressing her frustration, Harris stated, “I get upset when we say we’re going to shut our door to refugees who are fleeing such atrocities and have been standing in line for two years to qualify for refugee status, and they arrive here, and we turn them away. Yes, I’m gonna get mad about that. I’m gonna get mad when we have an attorney general who’s trying to resuscitate the war on drugs. And he thinks the greatest evil that mankind has ever seen is marijuana. … Leave grandma’s medical marijuana alone.”
