Vice President Kamala Harris called for public figures to elevate public discourse, despite her history of using profanity in public.

The vice president spoke about leadership with Maverick Carter, the CEO of SpringHill and a friend and manager of basketball star LeBron James on his podcast released on Wednesday.

'Also as an elected leader, understanding the power of your voice, and using it hopefully in a responsible way, that's about elevating public discourse,' she said.

Earlier this month, Harris urged young Asian-Americans to 'kick that f**king door down,' when seeking opportunity, in remarks that appeared to be a calculated play to make headlines.

'Not er!' she added laughing.

In 2017, Harris used her favorite curse word in full during a live podcast recording of Pod Save America in San Francisco.

'I was told one should not say motherf***ah in these kinds of interviews,' Harris said laughing, when asked to share her views of working in Washington, DC with then-president Donald Trump.

During her podcast interview with Carter, Harris spoke about the importance of leadership and running political campaigns.

The vice president said she believed that it was better for people to respect her than to get them to agree with her.

'I have learned it is more important that people respect you, than that they agree with any one decision, if they believe that you have been sincere in your process at arriving at a decision,' she said.

Harris described political campaigns as a 'really ugly,'  as she increases her activity on the campaign trail.

'Elections and campaigning, it very much is like a fight, you know people will say oh it's like a marathon, it's like a marathon when people are throwing tomatoes at you every step of the way,' she said.

'I'm telling you. Literally,' she added with a laugh. 'I'm not going to use the words i used to, well, off camera.'

The vice president warned against the public's 'limited perspectives' on who deserved to be in power, in advice for aspiring leaders,

'I do believe that one should not create barriers to their success based on other people's limited perspectives on who can do what,' she said. 'Like don't be burdened by other people's limited perspectives on who can do what. I've never been burdened with that.'

The Biden campaign is sending Harris out energize the black community for the 2024 elections, traveling to important swing states to emphasize the administration's accomplishments.

Her recently branded 'Economic Opportunity Tour' is targeted at black men, as she meets with important black personalities to emphasize the need for them to vote.

‘I decided I wanted to get out, and get out of DC and get into the neighborhood, into the community,’ Harris said in an interview with activist Al Sharpton to preview her effort.

Harris held a roundtable discussion with comedian DL Hughley in Milwaukee and an event with podcasting duo Rashad Bilal and Troy Milling in Atlanta as her tour continues.

But the vice president denies that the Biden campaign has a problem with black voters.

'I don’t agree with it. And it’s not been my experience,' she said to CNN earlier this month. 'It’s literally not been my experience.'
