Harris: Trump Doesn't 'Have the Ability to Really Have a Sense of Empathy'

While speaking to reporters on Monday, 2020 presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) criticized President Trump for golfing in the wake of the shooting in Texas, the boat fire in California, and with Hurricane Dorian bearing down on the U.S. and stated that Trump “just does not have the ability to really have a sense of empathy for people who are enduring hardship and enduring pain.”

Harris said, “I think he just does not have the ability to really have a sense of empathy for people who are enduring hardship and enduring pain. And the fact that, he’s, as you said, playing golf while all this is happening is not surprising. It’s not surprising, but it certainly is not reflective of the leadership that a president should provide in moments like — these moments of great tragedy.”
