Shaheem Reid Quavo was joined by Vice President Kamala Harris and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens at an event Tuesday declaring “Takeoff Day” in the city, in honor of the rapper’s nephew and bandmate in Migos, who was shot to death in 2022 during an altercation in which police said he was an “innocent bystander.” The event, which featured panel discussions about gun-violence prevention and a talk between Harris and Quavo, was held on what would have been Takeoff’s 30 th birthday. It was the inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit, named after Quavo’s foundation and held at the Carter Center in Atlanta. In the months after Takeoff’s death, Quavo began discussions about gun violence, particularly among the Black population, with community leaders, activists and Mayor Dickens as well as White House officials and the vice president.
Kamala Harris Tells Jimmy Kimmel That Donald Trump’s Conviction Was About Accountability: “The Reality Is Cheaters Just Don’t Like Getting Caught”
05.06.2024 - 05:19 / deadline.com
Vice President Kamala Harris had some biting words about Donald Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, making it a point to comment on his recent New York felony conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Like President Joe Biden, Harris has started to chime in on the state court case, after the administration and the campaign had said little as the six-week trial played out.
In studio in Hollywood, Harris told Kimmel, “A jury of 12 people, peers, over the course of six weeks, deliberated on the evidence and facts and unanimously determined guilt on 34 felony counts. There was a defense attorney who actively participated in selecting that jury, who actively made decisions about witnesses to call, witnesses to cross examine. And the jury made their decision and you know, I think that the reality is, cheaters don’t like getting caught and being held accountable.”
“The reality is, let’s just fast forward again to November. I think the American people want to know that there is a president who is accountable to the people.”
Since his conviction last week, Trump has railed against the justice system as “rigged,” with he and some allies on Capitol Hill blaming Joe Biden for the former president’s prosecution. In fact, Trump was convicted in New York state court, and not prosecuted by the federal Justice Department.
The sit down gave Harris a friendly venue to talk about signature issues of the reelection campaign, particularly issues like abortion and healthcare. Kimmel keyed her up on some key issues, while interspersing the interview with occasional humor. As they were talking about the move toward cannabis legalization, he asked is she was aware of a strain named after her, Kamala Kush.
