Former President Donald Trump was disgusted by a recent campaign speech made by Vice President Kamala Harris in which she strongly suggested he was a “predator.”
The producers of Fox & Friends boldly played a portion of a recent speech from the new presumptive Democratic nominee in which she highlighted her past as a prosecutor while reminding those in attendance of Trump’s recent challenges in criminal and civil court.
Trump was calling into the set of Fox & Friends Thursday morning, and Brian Kilmeade set up the clip, noting that Harris has made this case in each of her first two speeches. The clip was then aired for viewers and Trump. Harris said:
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 tight and in this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week.
Harris, a former prosecutor and California Attorney General is making clear reference to a civil suit of sexual assault against E Jean Carrol for which Trump was found liable, as well as the 34 counts of filing fraudulent records to hide hush money payments to Stormy Daniels for which he was found guilty.
“That’s the attack,” Kilmeade said coming out of the clip, before asking Trump, “What’s the retort?”
“Well, I think it’s disgusting,” Trump replied, “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 then went on to repeat claims he’s made multiple times that he’s the victim of a “Weaponized” Department of Justices:
When you hear that they’ve weaponized the justice system against me, they’ve indicted me four times. They’ve pushed other lawsuits on. To me, it’s never happened in this country. This is like a third world country. What they’ve done a banana republic. Every single court case that I have is pushed on by them. They’ve taken the Justice Department, use local DA’s and use 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. It’s disgraceful. It’s disgraceful that they can do this. It’s called weaponization.
Kilmeade brought the conversation back on track, asking “Did that get under your skin when those comments are made? Because that’s what they’re meant to do.”
“It’s not a question of getting under your skin,” Trump replied. “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 it’s had a positive effect. My poll numbers are high, higher than they’ve ever been.”
