Kamala Harris: I’m Not A Democratic Socialist [VIDEO]

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy cornered Kamala Harris in Vermont this afternoon for a typically Fox News-y question.

Mediaite reports:

“Senator Harris, one of the most popular Democrats in America right now is the guy who won here in 2016, Bernie Sanders, describes himself as a Democratic socialist,” Doocy said, and asked, “To compete in New Hampshire, do you have to––in the Democratic primary––do you have to move more toward the Democratic socialist part of the party?”

“The people of New Hampshire will tell me what’s required to compete in New Hampshire, but I will tell you I am not a Democratic socialist,” Harris replied. “I believe that what voters do want is, they want to know that whoever is going to lead understands that in America today, not everyone has equal opportunity to, and access to, a path to success.”

Bernie Sanders, of course, is not a Democrat and is therefore not “one of the most popular Democrats in America.” He is the longest-serving independent in congressional history.
