I agree. If you listen to the quote in full context, Kamala Harris wasn't admitting to abusing her power as a D.A. She was saying that she knew how powerful she was and used that power to pull people up instead of beating them down, and that President Trump didn't know how to do that despite having much more power.
We all know she was lying, of course, but taking the clip out of context to make it look like a confession is still dishonest.
Thank you for posting the full speech and providing context to this post.
I must admit that i only watched the clip and not the full speech, and i agree that the full speech would provide more context for a better interpretation of this clip.
However, in this clip she literally says " i LEARNED ... that with a swipe of MY pen ... i could charge someone [etc]", which i interpreted as an admission that she actually did that at least one time.
Saying that she learned that she could isn't an admission that she actually did it.
We do know that she did abuse her power (keeping prisoners in jail longer that they should have been to use for free labor, nearly allowing an innocent prisoner to be executed, etc), but she didn't admit to that in that speech.
Didnt let her finish though...click baity....we should be better than them

I would love a body language expert on this, because while I know she wasn't admitting to abuse of power, she certainly seemed pleased with herself.
She looked like she was about to break out a dupers delight smile and cackle!
