          “Today, yes, it is a great celebration for so many reasons, so many things,” Harris said. “But it is also impossible to ignore that we gather mere days after a horrific act of hate in Buffalo, New York, targeting Black Americans. And you know, it was only last year, as (Ambassador Katherine Tai) said, only last year that I was with the President in Atlanta, mourning the murder of eight people including six who are Asian American women. And sadly, what I said then remains true now. Racism is real in America, xenophobia is real in America. It always has been. Sexism is too.”

          CNN’s Betsy Klein, Donald Judd, Arlette Saenz, Nikki Carvajal, Victor Blackwell, Amanda Watts, Eric Levenson and Travis Caldwell contributed to this report.
