“I mean, my heart breaks for this community. You know there were kids there, elementary school kids,” said Harris, who had to be evacuated on what was supposed to be school picture day.
“The whole community was scared,” he said.
Of Trump, he said: “When you have a microphone like that in front of you, you really have to understand how much your words mean.”
“The American people deserve and I believe they want better than this,” he said.
