Presidential hopefuls Sen. Harris and Sen. Booker took aim at the Trump admin. in their speeches at this year's Human Rights Campaign Gala, both hinting at the upcoming 2020 election as a way to come closer to equality.
“Demi-gods in the White House and the administration are working systematically to undermine and dismantle LGBTQ rights," presidential hopeful Cory Booker said.Randy Shropshire / Getty Images for The Human Rights CampaignPresident Donald Trump took a lot of hits at this year’s Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles.
Smith, who’s best known for voicing Lisa on “The Simpsons” has made significant contributions to the campaign over the years as an ally to the LGBTQ community. The Emmy-Award winning actress and activist was the single largest donor to the organization during their fight against Proposition 8 in 2010, which aimed to ban gay marriage. Christina Aguilera was supposed to accept the Ally for Equality Award alongside Smith but was a no-show.
Booker got even more specific while addressing the “bad guys,” as he listed certain acts taken by Trump and his “MAGA minions” and referred to the current administration as a “moral vandalism.”
