CNN asked a panel of 10 and 11-year-old children to react to a photo of Democratic Party presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in one word, and the answers were surprising and not all that favorable to her.

In a segment on the network, a boy asked to describe Harris in one word says, "Liar."

Some of the responding children, even the girls, did not think she was the best candidate for president just because she was a woman.

One girl said she was more selfish than Trump and that "girls are a little bit dramatic sometimes."

One girl they talked to said it would be cool to see a Black woman president, but that "my vote is still kinda on Trump."

Of course, the blue-state Trump haters were in full force even at 10 years old, and CNN noted that "Democrat-leaning kids were about nine times more likely to express negative emotions about Donald Trump than Republican-leaning kids were about Kamala Harris."
