Nearly 30 years before hosting Vice President Kamala Harris on the debate stage, ABC News featured her as one of then-San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown's "fine women" in a profile on the Democratic politician.

"He's a rogue alright, notorious for his flamboyant lifestyle: flashy clothes, fancy parties, fine women, and fast cars," the narrator states in a clip of the segment. After the words "fine women," Harris appears alongside Brown and responds to a question from someone off-screen asking is she was his daughter.

"No, I'm not," Harris says, smiling.
