Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized on social media after claiming most Americans would go “bankrupt” from an unexpected expense in this economy.
“If she is a single parent, she’s going to have to be able to pay for that childcare,” Harris said. “She’s going to lose time for work. Maybe she has paid family leave. Maybe she doesn’t. Maybe she has paid sick leave. Maybe she doesn’t. She will have to be able to pay for a plane, train, bus, gas. Most Americans are a $400 unexpected expense away from bankruptcy.“
Harris said the quote while speaking at a moderated discussion on “reproductive rights” in Iowa on Friday.
From Fox News:
The quote was immediately criticized by conservatives on social media who suggested that any economic hardship for the average American is a result of President Biden’s policies after more than two years in office. "Yeah, that’s called Bidenomics and it’s a problem," GOP presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott responded. "Americans have lost $10,000 in spending power because of the Biden-Harris agenda."
