Trump Gets Gargantuan Revenge After Kamala’s Sick Accusation
Harris, who has recently been announced as the Democratic nominee, emphasized her background as a prosecutor and pointed out Trump’s recent legal troubles in both criminal and civil courts during her speech.
The segment was aired by Fox & Friends, with Brian Kilmeade setting up the clip while Trump was about to join the show on Thursday morning. Kilmeade noted that Harris had made similar arguments in her previous addresses. Harris stated:
"I was elected vice president before I was like the United States Senator. I was elected attorney general of the State of California, and I was a courtroom prosecutor before then. I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump’s type and in this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week."
Harris referenced Trump’s 34 counts of filing false records to conceal payments to Stormy Daniels and the civil suit of sexual assault against E. Jean Carroll, for which he was found liable.
Kilmeade then asked Trump for his response to Harris’s comments. Trump replied:
"Well, I think it’s disgusting, and I get a kick out of one thing. They say, ‘Sir, be nice. You just got hit with a bullet. Maybe he’s changed. Be nice,’ and I’d love to be nice, but I’m dealing against real garbage when you hear that."
Trump reiterated his claims that the Department of Justice has been "weaponized" against him:
"When you hear that they’ve weaponized the justice system against me, they’ve indicted me four times. They’ve pushed other lawsuits on me. To me, it’s never happened in this country. This is like a third world country. What they’ve done is a banana republic. Every single court case that I have is pushed on by them. They’ve taken the Justice Department, used local DAs and used local attorney generals. Every single case I have. And I just won the big one in Florida that Biden didn’t win. What happened to Biden is they called him incompetent. He can run for president, but he’s incompetent to represent himself in court. But just so you know, they push all these cases on me. They’re the ones that started. And then they say, ‘I’m a prosecutor. He’s a criminal.’ They’re the ones. Every case is started by them and I’m winning the cases. But every case and the big one I just won in Florida was just thrown out by a brilliant judge. To be honest with you, I think it’s disgraceful. It’s disgraceful that they can do this. It’s called weaponization."
Kilmeade then asked if Harris's comments got under his skin. Trump replied:
"It’s not a question of getting under your skin. You fight back. I fought back, I think, very valiantly. But they weaponized the United States Justice Department against Donald Trump for purposes of hurting their political opponent. And so far, and I think long term, it’s had a positive effect. My poll numbers are high, higher than they’ve ever been."
This exchange underscores the heated rhetoric and ongoing legal and political battles that are shaping the upcoming election.
