Kamala Harris Honors Late Friend Quincy Jones as a ‘Trailblazer’


Vice President Kamala Harris honored her late friend Quincy Jones on Monday in an Instagram post, calling him a 'trailblazer.'

The tribute from Harris came several hours after New York reshared a 2018 interview with Jones in which he described former President Donald Trump as a “crazy motherfucker” who was “limited mentally” and a “megalomaniac.” His statements on the Republican candidate went viral online. President Joe Biden also issued a statement via the White House, celebrating Jones as a “musical genius who transformed the soul of America one beat, one rhythm, and one rhyme at a time.” “He was a great unifier, who believed deeply in the healing power of music to restore hope and uplift those suffering from hunger, poverty, and violence, in America and the continent of Africa.”
