Hosting the Prime Minister of Ireland, Micheal Martin, on Wednesday, St. Patrick’s Day, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke of the recent murders of eight people in Atlanta, saying the incident “speaks to a larger issue which is the issue of violence in our country.”

Harris started, “I’m just going to say a few words about an incident that is occurring, a horrible incident, in our country, and then we’re going to begin our conversation. But before I begin I do want to talk about what happened in Georgia in Atlanta. It is tragic. Our country, the president and I and all of us, we grieve for the loss. Our prayers are extended to the families of those who’ve been killed.”
