Jimmy Kimmel Asks Kamala Harris If He Should Be Worried About Trump Targeting His ‘Enemies’

Vice President Kamala Harris told comedian Jimmy Kimmel he may be “right” to worry about Donald Trump specifically targeting him if he gets a second term in the White House.
Harris joined Kimmel on Wednesday night and touched on a number of topics. At one point, Kimmel asked if there was a chance he could be considered a “political enemy” of the former president. The comedian often mocks the president and has earned some responses, including a Truth Social attack live during his hosting gig at the Oscars earlier this year.
“He’s made it pretty plain he’s going after his political enemies or whatever you want to call them should he be reelected, but realistically, like, what can a president do to, say, a talk show who has been making fun of him. What can you actually do to…oh, for example, me?” Kimmel asked.
Harris told Kimmel he was “right” to bring the concern up.
“In all seriousness, Jimmy, you’re right to bring this up. He has been very clear,” she said. “He intends to weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies; he admires dictators and says he’ll be a dictator on day one; he talks about being proud of the fact that as of today, our daughter, for example, has fewer rights and reproductive freedoms than my mother in law [had].”
Kimmel claimed that if the current Justice Department were “weaponized” against Trump, as the former president argues, then President Joe Biden would “snap his weaponized fingers” and get his son Hunter Biden out of his trial where he’s facing a federal gun charge.
A New York Times report published this week highlighted Republican leaders calling for “legal retribution” for Trump in the wake of him being convicted on more than 30 felony counts in his Manhattan hush money trial .
