Harris attacks Trump with new Jack Smith revelations

Source: Politico

10/06/2024 12:57 PM EDT


Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is directly invoking special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation to attack former President Donald Trump, in a new ad provided first to POLITICO.

“We knew it was bad. But it’s worse than we thought. Much worse than we thought,” reads the ad, between videos of the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, as Trump’s past comments play in the background. “We fight like hell. If we don’t fight like hell, we’re not going to have a country anymore,” Trump’s voice can be heard saying in the ad.

It’s a rare attack from the Harris campaign. While Harris — and President Joe Biden before her — have discussed the events of Jan. 6 on the campaign trail, Harris’ campaign has rarely made these attacks in paid advertisements. The digital ad will air in battleground states starting Sunday.

The ad comes after new developments from Smith’s investigation were detailed in a 165-page filing last week. Prosecutors charge that Trump attempted to hold onto power after he lost in 2020. Smith’s prosecutors wrote that “the defendant launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn the legitimate election results.”

Maybe they’re going for young people used to rat-a-tat edits and video game-style presentation, but it doesn’t grip me.

Put it on every station in the country. Or on Sunday or Monday Night Football. It's a little long for an 'ad' but it was so powerful, at least make a 1 minute version and show it everywhere, esp. swing states.

It actually has quotes taken from Jack Smith's filings, which only came out last week - the biggest one being 45's "So what?" remark regarding Mike Pence being threatened.

I sort of view that comment at as a typical utterance exposing his genuine thinking on any given matter. I guess I was looking for a bombshell that wasn't known.
