The Democratic presidential candidate is speaking out after receiving backlash for appearing to laugh at a mental illness slur made by a supporter during a campaign event. “I’m sorry. That word and others like it aren’t acceptable. Ever,” she Tweeted.

When my staff played the video from my town hall yesterday, it was upsetting. I didn’t hear the words the man used in that moment, but if I had I would’ve stopped and corrected him. I’m sorry. That word and others like it aren’t acceptable. Ever. https://t.co/mNmo1hyNpW

Kamala Harris claims she ‘didn’t hear’ supporter who called Trump ‘mentally retarded.’ It does not go over well.
