Kamala Harris, AOC, Al Sharpton praised Sean 'Diddy' Combs in 2020 town hall dedicated to COVID, honoring black Americans | 21 Sept 2024 | Kamala Harris offered effusive praise for Sean "Diddy" Combs while participating in a town hall dedicated to the coronavirus and black Americans. The two-hour event in April 2020 was co-hosted by CNN political commentator Van Jones and also featured Rev. Al Sharpton and "Squad" members Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) "Hey everyone, it’s good to be with you this evening. Sean I want to thank you because you always have a way of convening and bringing folks together," Harris said on the call. She later followed up in an effusive tweet that was widely mocked on social media. [Yes, but truth be told, Harris's tweet aged better than her post praising Jussie Smollett.]
