Harris Cancels Book Tour Dates Amid Questions About Taxpayer-Funded Security

“Let me just tell ya, I predicted a lot of what’s happening right now,” Harris said at one point during her speech, a reference to the Trump administration. “I’m not into saying ‘I told ya so,’ but we did see it comin’,” she added using an accent that was heavily ethnically skewed to the mostly black audience.

Obama said similar things when it was his turn to speak, again in an accent that appeared to be playing to the crowd.

The shameful behavior caught the attention of the civil rights leader’s son, Jesse Jackson Jr., who decried the political posturing as inappropriate for the occasion.
