During the annual Congressional Leadership Summit held annually in Washington, DC, the vice president dropped an f-bomb while offering guidance at the annual Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies ( APAICS) Legislative Leadership Summit.
Harris addressed the audience’s concerns about overcoming obstacles, handling chances, and situations where one is the “only one that looks” like themselves.
Harris added that, in certain situations, they may “need to blow that f**king door over”.
” But, here’s the issue about breaking restrictions. Beginning with Harris,” Breaking restrictions does not mean you begin on one side of the barrier and ending up on the other side.” ” There’s breaking involved. And, when you break stuff, you get cut, and you may burn. And it is worthwhile it every moment, every day”.

Whether the room is” a conference room, a table space, a courtroom,” or even a reading room, young individuals should enter with their chins raised and shoulders raised.
” We have to realize that, oftentimes, people will open the door for you and keep it open”, Harris added. ” Sometimes, they wo n’t, and then you need to kick that f**king door down”.
After Harris’s opinions, she began laughing and responded by saying,” Pardon my speech” as the market cheered.
Jimmy O. Yang, known for his role as Bernard Tai in Crazy Rich Asians,  , asked Harris to discuss her experience as the first dark American and South Asian American to serve as vice president, according to the Hill.
Additionally, Harris was asked to discuss how her identity and background played a role in shaping her opinions as vice president.
” We gotta create t- tops with that saying,’ Kick the f**king doorway along,'” Yang said.
