In a tweet on Friday, Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump castigated his opponent, Kamala Harris, for her first major interview since the exit of Joe Biden from the election.
“I just saw Comrade Kamala Harris’ answer to a very weakly-phrased question, a question that was put in more as a matter of defense than curiosity, but her answer rambled incoherently, and declared her “values haven’t changed…,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social media platform.
“…On that I agree, her values haven’t changed – The Border is going to remain open, not closed, there will be Free Healthcare for Illegal Aliens, Sanctuary Cities, No Cash Bail, Gun Confiscation, Zero Fracking, a Ban on Gasoline-Powered Cars, Private Healthcare will be abolished, a 70-80% tax rate will be put in place, and she will Defund the Police. America will become a WASTELAND,” Trump added.
Trump further called the interview "boring" and that Harris was "rambling incoherently." He even said, in another post, that he is "very anxious" for a debate with Harris, whom he promised to expose as a "fraud."
Trump said that Harris had flipped on many of the big issues, insinuating that she changed all her perennial views. He further told the electorate that Americans would never permit a "weaponizing Marxist" to assume the presidency of the United States.
“No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking as vice president,” Harris said when asked if she would ban the practice. “I did not ban fracking as vice president. I will not ban fracking…. In 2020 I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024 and I’ve not changed that position, nor will I be going forward. I kept my word, and I will keep my word.”
“What made you change that position at the time?” the interviewer asked.
“Well, let’s be clear, my values have not changed,” the vice president answered.
This interview was Harris’s first after taking over the Democratic ticket for the White House amidst questions about her candidacy raised by Donald Trump and his allies, who attacked her for avoiding unscripted interactions with reporters.
