Kamala Harris rolled out of bed to deliver incredible word salad
<div>Kamala Harris spoke about courage being contagious during her address at the Leading Women Defined Summit on April 3, 2025, in Dana Point, California. Here are the key quotes from that speech where she directly references this idea:<br /><br /></div>
<div>“Fear has a way of being contagious… And we are witnessing that no doubt. But I say this also my dear friends: Courage is also contagious.” </div>
<div>This sets up her central theme, contrasting fear’s spread with courage’s potential to inspire.<br /><br /></div>
<div>“When one person, when a few stand with courage… the courage to say, ‘what is happening is wrong’… the courage to say that there is a way we must chart to get through this… that courage is also contagious.”<br /><br /></div>
<div>These quotes come from her unscripted remarks, as reported by outlets like BET and reflected in X posts summarizing the event. While some online paraphrasing has doubled the phrase into “courage is also contagious, courage is also contagious,” her actual wording uses the phrase once in each context, emphasizing its infectious quality.</div>
