Video: Kamala Harris drops F-bomb, urges youth to 'kick that f***ing door down'

US Vice President Kamala Harris used an abuse on Monday (May 13) while advising a gathering of young Asian Americans, native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders about how to break through gender barriers. 

The US vice president was participating in a political gathering moderated by actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang when she dropped the F-bomb.

She was asked what it means to be the first vice president of Asian descent and whether heritage informed her views as well as roles as a leader.

Harris' mother was from India while her father hailed from Jamaica, and she is the first woman elected vice president.

Harris gave an elaborate reply to the question in which she urged young persons to keep their heads high while entering the spaces where no one else looks like them.

“We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won’t. And then you need to kick that f*** door down,” she said in remarks caught on camera.

The audience responded with a big round of applause. Laughing herself, Harris said, “Excuse my language.”

The video of the conversation is going viral on social media.

The use of profanity in the American politics is not unusual. Just this past weekend, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump led a crowd at a rally chanting “bulls***" in reference to his hush money trial in New York City.

When Joe Biden was vice president, he was overheard telling President Barack Obama that the health care legislation was a "big f*** deal."
