Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris hosts standing room only events in Seattle
Presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris, from California, packed two events near Capitol Hill Friday trying to rally local donors and the staunchly Democratic supporters in Seattle.
Her first appearance focused on gun control but included a stump speech that was warmly received at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center.
The venue was packed with people, so much that many media representatives had to sit on the floor, and other people lined the walls.
"[Leaders] failed to have the courage to say fine if you want to go hunting but we need reasonable gun safety laws in our country," Harris told the Seattle crowd. "Including universal background checks and a renewal of the assault weapons ban."
The crowd burst into cheers. Harris also railed against President Trump, tying him to recent mass shootings.
"After El Paso, these journalists asked me, 'well do you think he's responsible for what happened and I said no,' he obviously didn't pull the trigger, but he's, sure enough, has been tweeting out the ammunition," said Harris.
