The senator from California has been faulted for imprecision as she seeks the Democratic nomination.

By Chelsea Janes Chelsea Janes Reporter covering the Washington Nationals Email Bio Follow March 16 at 6:39 PM ST. GEORGE, S.C. — Before Sen. Kamala D. Harris stepped out of her white minivan, no presidential candidate had ever visited St. George, at least as far as any local officials could remember.

“It’s all about trust,” she said. “I’d rather she be honest with me [like that] and tell me she hasn’t looked into it.” “I think that’s ridiculous,” Harris said. “The idea that you would deny a professional woman the opportunity to have a meeting with the vice president of the United States is outrageous.”

An earlier example came in an on-camera interview with CNN’s John King in late February, when the anchor asked Harris: Why did voters who twice chose Barack Obama flip to President Trump?“If I’m a Democratic voter and I want Trump gone,” King said, “I want a better answer than that.” Her answer forced other Democratic candidates to clarify their positions on private insurance as they advocate for a stronger public insurance option. None had previously gone quite so far in their endorsement of the plan.

Voters consistently show more concern about the policies Harris promoted in her earlier roles as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general. A Las Vegas voter asked her about the policy she instituted in San Francisco that threatened parents of habitually truant students with incarceration — the result of a study Harris conducted that showed the harm missing school at the elementary level can have on a student’s ability to complete high school.

Cameltoe Harris..

Because at this point it’s still meaningless... nobody cares.

Because she really doesn't matter just another mouth piece

Not making daddy happy. 🇯🇲

Because we're all embarrassed for her.. It seems some disgusting old sexual predator promised her a high flying political career if she gave in to his wishes..

Harris isn't drawing a lot of attention, either!

YNB She’s not my favorite but this is ridiculous. Verbal miscues?😒

Who gives a damn?! Let’s talk about Bernie2020 or are you being paid to ignore him?

The best of the worst doesn’t really bode confidence.

Because noone cares

Despite having no accomplishments and sleeping her way to the top......

Kamala2020 genX2020 kamalaBeto2020

Frankly, I hope everyone is paying attention to all the candidates and no knee jerk support.

how is the Jussie Smollet hoax 'hate crime' trial going? Will Harris be implicated ?

FakeNews ! Remember the Kavanaugh hearings! KamalaHarris is disgraceful and despicable!

That’s called hypocrisy.

Personally, I don’t pay attention to her at all

Depends on the voter - you didn’t ask...

Give her time you will change your mind real quick

Lol “verbal miscues”. Wait until the writer of this article finds out who sits in the Oval Office.

Cuz she’s awesome!

My view: Senator Harris not qualified to be POTUS. She Admits being Pothead; she had Affair w/Willie Brown then threatened him with Indictment; she OverExtended Inmates to Use them as Cheap FireFighters. NoOnHarris

Another zero

No one is perfect. Are you kidding me?

That’s another fake report no one likes her but you communist

Not voting for this Neoliberal.

Hey nobody isperfect ( you see)

BernieTulsi

Next: who has best hair, Harris or Trump? Inquiringpost?

NUPEsupreme In glad someone said something. I thought I missed something. I hadnt seen any verbal miscues. This is going to be a long campaign season...smh

Thats because she is being ignored.

Harris thundering along with her Unicorns Rainbows and FREE candy for all policies..She is one smart lady ...CERTAINLY non-judgmental..she knows right from wrong..she is never one to jump to conclusions..😂

The world right now needs another woman leader!!!

She is not electable!

OMG. WP has chosen their candidate and Harris is off and running.

Maybe it’s because no-one is paying attention to her

You have already selected her as the Candidate.

In 5 years Senator Harris will look exactly like Queen latifia

Probably because no one is paying attention to her. Except for the reporter/fashion consultant/bff.

She sure did a good job using words when she drilled Brett Kavanaugh:

... can’t dare criticize out loud ...! You would be branded a racist...

This is the worst sentence I’ve ever read.

Dumb is in. Heck the post is hiring

MISOGYNY. Google it.

WTAF Verbal miscues?!! Just stop!

How about her relationship with Willie Brown? When will the Washington Post and mainstream media start reporting on that little factoid?

BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHahahaha! Seriously?! What’s wRoNg with you foolish Liberals?!? Harris is lost in Left field suffering from Liberalism Disorder & Trump Derangement Syndrome - NWO Media WP is a joke & so are Liberals. Democrats are Evil. DumpTheDemocratParty PresidentTrump2020

Not sure who you're asking, but I along with most have PLENTY of criticism.

Little attention, too.

If a tree falls in a forest...

Media repeating 2016, attack Dem candidates and lift up, normalize & elect a Nazi.

typeWaste story

“Despite verbal miscues...”. Please stop this cr*p.

Sen. Harris is a remarkably accomplished professional, tested judiciary record, and true advocate for the people. Would ❤️ to see her as our next President of the United States! KamalaHarris2020 ✨

Wake me when the dems find a halfway decent candidate.

Oh really? Have they looked at any of the Berner Twitter accounts?

What’s the problem WaPo? Hope such intrusive journalism is done on the make candidates

How about this: After strong roll out, Harris enthusiasm continues to grow. Or: After flawless roll out, voters continue strong interest in Harris.

Cause corrupt media 🙊🙊🙊

What verbal miscue? trump has been tweeting toxic sewage all day! RacistInChief

I mean not everybody can compare to the volcabulistic adroitness of Dan Quayle, Joe Biden, or Donald Trump... /eyeroll

What kind of bullshit story is this.

Except for all the voters who are criticizing her.... What an absurd headline.

Most of us pretend she isn't even there.

The voters are concentrating on old white guys. Maybe they are hoping for less change with Uncle Joe.

p.s.: please list all the “verbal miscues” by Biden, Bernie, Beto and the true champ...Trump....before you start this drumbeat

Despite media hacks

What verbal miscues? Are you serious with this stuff?

Because we all know she doesn't have a chance and the DNC is going to rig it for Biden anyway just like 2016 for Hillary

Good for her... no one is perfect.

How quickly you forget the treatment of Kavanaugh by HeelsUpHarris

😂😂😂 Nobody wants this hypocrite in the White House. Nobody! Vote Republican and keep America great 🇺🇸

Or the phony, fawning liberal progressive press like

Nobody cares.

Another misogynistic But Her Emails headline, brought to you by MSM. Issues and stances need not apply. Not all propaganda comes from its beneficiaries. See Kremlin for details.

She'll never win. Trump's our man

Jesus. Do you guys nitpick the male candidates like this? I'm about to cancel my subscription

I just don’t like her

Clickbait but okay.

Another negative headline about a strong female candidate.

Not worth the breath

What about Trumps enunciation? His vernacular consists of 12 adjectives... 9 adverbs.... 6 verbs and 4 nouns! I don't hear any complaints about his miscues or misuse of the English language. He's made up several words... COM'on!

What are you saying 😅😅😊🙈

Yawn yawn 👎🏽

I hope they all show respect as they articulate their positions. I want to hear her policies on renewable energy/climate change, foreign policy, global trade, immigration reform, diplomacy and economic policies. As an Independent, I vote on the person's policies & expertise.

WP posting false propaganda. This woman has plenty of criticism. You just ain't looking in the right places. 😂😂😂

Despite pretty lackluster media coverage..we still listen to what she has to say.

Read: press is skeptical but voters like her. All your examples are of the press wanting to pin her down on an answer. That’s not a miscue. Why are you covering the press’ opinion at all if this isn’t an Op Ed?

What a non-story. I think that pales in comparison to Trump's blatant lies, and I haven't really heard anyone criticize her for that. People who don't like her criticize other things, not verbal miscues.

Pete

I hope we’re not going to tear our candidates apart over miscues this time.

the current president IS a verbal miscue but please go on

Bezos trying to hang onto his privileged life with the help of establishment dems. Ain’t happening Bozos.

She'll never win simply based on her perpetually condescending facial expressions during the Kavanaugh Hearings....and pretty much every day since.

Our president is a walking verbal miscue. This article is stupid.

Is this for real?

There are two obvious reasons for this immunity, but mentioning these objectively would cause teeth-gnashing and civil unrest.

Little attention too.

I will never be the favorite or sell my soul to be famous that not my personality I’m straight low key and build a better life with no competition .

She is a ditz. Let her track record speak for itself. She is a political reed and do-nothing.

If one ranks high enough on the Left's ridiculously phony intersectionality heirarchy, then nearly all can be forgiven or ignored.

Not true...

Have you covered the current president?

Oh Mnuchin’s ROI for his donor-investor campaign contribution was so high- stopped the prosecution into alleged fraud & looky now he is the secretary of treasury.

The DNC offering up another shitshow.

She's a disaster. Another Hillary clone and an easy win for Trump if she gets the nomination.

Anything she does wrong will be infinitely more admirable than the best thing sad little traitor Donald Trump does on his be best day.

'verbal miscues.' Meanwhile, the current fake president is a narcissistic, corrupt criminal who can't keep his mouth shut.

WTF are you even talking about? You must be stumped trying to find ways to talk negative about this candidate.

Oh come on! Trump is nuts and says hateful crazy shit every day and the WP is worried about verbal miscues?Really? Why do you put women candidates under such a microscope.

Fake News and Democrat Party never gets it. SenWarren Indian claim SenSchumer ignores Israel heritage KamalaHarris different race portrayed BetoORourke Irish heritage uses Beto for Hispanic voters SpeakerPelosi proud grandson ashamed own race

Wouldn't even be talking about this if it was trump. I'll take double standards for women for 200, Alex.

Come on.

KamalaHarris why am I upset of course I'm team Sanders but I think Kamala is more fit to represent the democratic establishment than beto

She's going to win, that's why.

Golly, how can she recover, he said in a gormless manner, forgetting that the President is about to hit the 10,000 mark in lies in just over 2 years in office.

Because she doesn't do this

Willie Brown, former mayor San Francisco, extramarital relationship with Sen. Kamala Harris. He used his political clout to boost her career while dating.

She’s great.

*sighs*

KamalaHarris for Prez after that horrible crrap show at the Kavanaugh hearings? Ha! Ha! Ha! Hey Demorats, you Bozos bumfuzzled the Kavanaugh Hearings and lost Senate seats. More JUSTICE confirm, including ninth circus corrected to Constitutional Judges.

Because she won’t make it out the primaries, why waste time on her

Seriously?

What verbal miscues? She would make an excellent president!!

that certain, je ne sais quoi?!

Verbal miscues no longer matter....see 2016

oh please

*little criticism from voters you're willing to talk to
