Kamala Harris Tells Young Football Players: You Can Be ‘Undefeated Even If You Don’t Win Every Game’

Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris told a group of young football players on Sunday that they can be “undefeated” even if they don’t win every game on their schedule.

Harris made the remarks while speaking to players at Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School in Pennsylvania about being a role model.

“It’s not easy being a role model. Welcome to the role model club,” she said, noting that the player’s families and communities were watching them to see how they act.

“And, by doing that, and all that that requires, which is the hard work, the practice, working as a team, knowing that you will be undefeated even if you don’t win every game, but no circumstance or event or moment will defeat your spirit and your fight, and your preparedness to win and excel, that nothing will dampen your spirit of excellence,” she said. “That’s what I’m counting on from each of you. And, that’s what makes our nation strong.”

Senior Trump Campaign official Tim Murtaugh responded to the clip: “Among the first unscripted moments Harris is permitted to have results in her spewing a bunch of nonsense at high school football players who, unlike her, probably know what the word undefeated means.”

Attending the event with Harris was her vice presidential running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who used to be a football coach.

Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, responded to the clip: “I wonder what these football players would think about tampons in boys’ bathrooms.”

Miller’s comment referenced a bill that was signed into law that forces schools in the state to provide tampons “to all menstruating students,” including transgender students.

House Intel Committee Chairman: Biden-Harris Admin Doing Nothing After Iran Tried To Assassinate Trump

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) said over the weekend that the Biden-Harris administration has taken no action after the Islamic Republic of Iran initiated a plan to assassinate Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Turner, who made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with Margaret Brennan, demanded that the administration show a spine by responding to what amounts to an “act of war.”

Brennan noted that Iran is actively working to influence the outcome of the election by having hacked the Trump Campaign, engaging in online disinformation campaigns, and actively working on carrying out plots to assassinate the former president.

“I think what’s missing here is a response from the administration,” Turner said. “You have Microsoft coming forward and saying that the Trump campaign had been hacked. The administration, the Biden administration, had identified that Iran was attempting to do this, including spinning misinformation.”

“But, even further, the administration has acknowledged that Iran had – was executing a plan to assassinate Donald Trump, even alleging that an individual they have in possession was part of that plot,” he continued. “Yet you don’t really have a response from the administration. Most national security experts resoundingly agree that killing a presidential candidate would be an act of war from a foreign power. Well, certainly, attempting … does at least require a response.”

“And, in this, the administration is – both on the hacking side, on the misinformation side, and on the alleged attempt on Donald Trump’s life, is not holding Iran accountable,” he said, adding that the Biden-Harris administration have drawn “no red lines” with Iran.

“This is not a law enforcement issue, right? This is not a law enforcement issue,” Turner said in response to the individual who was carrying out the assassination plot being arrested. “This is a nation-state that the administration has identified as having executed a plot to try to assassinate Donald Trump and is undertaking misinformation, election interference including hacking.”

“This requires a response to the administration,” he said.

Turner, who has access to classified intelligence about what the U.S. is doing on matters like this, said that the administration has given no response to deter further aggression from Iran.

“You have to start with a statement by the administration. And then also you could go to, there need to be statements of red lines and understanding of what actions would occur,” he said. “And then there does need to be action. I think the administration needs to look at what is their response going to be, now that they’re openly saying that they have in custody an individual they allege was part of an Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump.”
