“It’s time we had a president who’s not scared to call neo-Nazi violence what it is: domestic terrorism,” Harris said during the dinner, posting a short clip of her speech on Twitter.

“It’s time we had a leader who speaks out against hate in all its forms,” she wrote in her Twitter post.

“Let’s speak truth here today,” Harris continued. “This president isn’t trying to make America great; he’s trying to make America hate. So it is critical to our security, our dignity and our unity as a nation when I say: We need a new president.”
