Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris on Saturday apologized for her response to a rallygoer calling President Donald Trump's actions "mentally retarded" at a campaign event, saying that she didn't hear the slur.
“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,” Harris wrote on Twitter on Saturday afternoon."Let me just be really clear.
"I would never condone anyone using that word in any way shape or form, even against the guy I am running against. Period," Harris continued.

And it was not something that I really heard or processed," Harris said.
