What did Terrell say about Kamala Harris?

Terrell criticized Joe Biden‘s choice of Kamala Harris as vice president, calling the pick “affirmative action” and claiming she’s “not qualified.”

Terrell told Sean Hannity before the 2020 presidential election that he vowed to vote for Donald Trump if Harris became the VP choice.

“Listen, for the next 84 days, I’m not sleeping. Before I endorsed President Trump, I said if Kamala Harris is selected, I’m voting Republican. And she got selected,” Terrell told Fox News.

“I want to be very clear to the American public. Kamala Harris was selected for two reason. Because she’s a woman and because of her race.

“That’s called affirmative action. She’s not qualified to be a vice president. She’s not qualified to be one heartbeat away from the highest office in the land.”

Terrell added: “This woman has gone so far left. If you like your health care, she wants to take it away. She believes in socialized medicine.

“She has no principals or no scruples. And also – what is important – the only thing she’s truthful about is one thing, she called Joe Biden a racist. That is what she’s correct about.”

Harris said during one of the Democratic presidential debates that she did “not believe” that Biden was “a racist.”


Terrell’s comments came soon after Biden announced Harris as his VP pick.

Biden and Harris would defeat Donald Trump and his running mate Mike Pence in November’s election. 

Terrell has previously slammed Joe Biden for thinking like “a plantation owner.”
