The concept of “public trust” means to “understand what the public trust means” and that “you have been invested with trust,” Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris explained Monday in remarks to the National Association of Black Journalists.
Despite routinely comparing Republican Candidate Donald Trump to Hitler and calling him “a threat to democracy,” Vice President Harris was declaring that public figures should “be responsible in the way you use your words” when she provided her circular-logic definition of “trust.”
The “concept of the public trust” requires public figures to “understand what the trust public means,” which is that “you have been invested with trust,” Harris said, adding that this responsibility/understanding “is an extension of what should not be lost in this moment”:
“When you are bestowed with a microphone that is that big, there is a profound responsibility that comes with that that is an extension of what should not be lost in this moment, this concept of the public trust, to then understand what the public trust means.
“It means that you have been invested with trust to be responsible in the way you use your words, much less how you conduct yourself — and especially when you have been and then seek to be again president of the United States of America.”
