Harris Cites “Patriots At Stonewall” In Ellipse Speech

“Our democracy doesn’t require us to agree on everything. That’s not the American way. Just the opposite. We don’t shy away from robust debate. We like a good debate. And the fact that someone disagrees with us, does not make them ‘the enemy from within.’

“Those who came before us—the patriots at Normandy and Selma. Seneca Falls and Stonewall…they did not struggle, sacrifice, and lay down their lives, only to see us cede our fundamental freedom and submit to the will of another petty tyrant.

“The United States is the greatest idea humanity ever devised. In 7 days, let us turn the page and start writing the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told” –  Kamala Harris, in last night’s speech on Washington DC’s Ellipse.
