Kamala Harris stops at Pearl Harbor on way back from Asia -- but avoids press questions
Fox News
Kamala Harris returned to the U.S. on Thursday, landing in Hawaii after her trip to Singapore and Vietnam. But the vice president ignored reporters’ questions – whether about Afghanistan or other topics – as she got off Air Force Two for a stop at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
She also blocked reporters from attending her planned address to U.S. troops stationed at the base, according to reports. The Pearl Harbor stop had been scheduled prior to Thursday's terrorist attack at the Kabul airport that killed at least 13 U.S. service members and dozens of Afghans. An Islamic State group affiliate claimed responsibility for the attack. After the attack, reporters traveling with Harris learned her Hawaii visit with the troops would be closed to the press.More Related News
