LOS ANGELES — Vice President Kamala Harris urged a group of demonstrators gathered in downtown Los Angeles to “stand up and fight” for its ideals following recent court rulings over reproductive rights that have divided the country.
“When you attack the rights of women in America, you are attacking America,” Harris said at a rally outside City Hall.
Harris’ surprise appearance at the event was greeted with shrieks and applause from the crowd. The vice president, who was introduced by Mayor Karen Bass, talked about her recent trips overseas and warned that democracy was at stake at this “critical moment” in U.S. history.
