Vice President Kamala Harris interview Wednesday on Fox News was tense from the jump. In one of the more hostile moments, the Democratic presidential nominee told host Bret Baier he was diminishing one of Donald Trumps most inflammatory remarks.
The exchange began after Harris called out the former presidents recent comments labeling radical left lunatics as the enemy from within and asserting they should be handled with military force.
Hes the one who talks about an enemy within
suggesting he would turn the American military on the American people, Harris said of her Republican rival for the presidency.
Baier responded that Fox News asked Trump about those remarks earlier Wednesday, then played a clip of Trump defending his words. In the clip, Trump says his opponents have exaggerated his comments and that hes the one whos been cast as an enemy. Harris wasnt having it.

Replying to @atrupar
Baier tries to bait Harris into saying something bad about Trump supporters. Shameful stuff from him. Harris has a great response.

It was a beautiful thing to watch her handle him like Muhammad Ali handled George Foreman.

(7,557 posts)As "radical left lunatics" and "the Enemy within". They are both members of co-equal branches of government meaning he lacks legal authority to pull off such a stunt. But that shows how the rule of law means absolutely nothing to Trump.

(44,883 posts)It wasn't a symptom of the sudden acceleration of his own cognitive decline (which I'd grown suspicious of). He knew that it would come out that Fox had edited remarks of his, so he turned it into a pre-emptive strike with benefits.
Now that he has nothing to look forward to but his criminal and civil cases, Trump has begun stockpiling ammunition for an "incompetent to stand trial" or "not guilty by reason of insanity" ruling.

(196 posts)She is a great candidate. The only thing that might stop her is the fact that there are a lot of frankly stupid people in this country, and they tend to vote for Trump. Any intelligent person who saw this interview would clearly want to vote for Kamala Harris. She is a smart and strong candidate. I hope and pray that she wins. If she does, I think that she is going to make an excellent President.
