Democratic Presidential nominee and US Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday took a jibe at her rival, former US President and Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump and shared a montage of Trump discussing the ‘enemies within‘ the country.
In a rally held in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, Harris cautioned the people about the potential consequences of Trump regaining power, stating, “We know who Trump is, he’ll stop at nothing to claim power for himself”.
She urged people to pay attention to Trump’s rally speeches to comprehend his intentions.
During the rally, Harris played a montage of Trump’s speeches and interviews, where he discusses the internal enemies of the country and how he plans to deal with them, including the possibility of using military force. In an approximately 40-second clip, Trump can be heard saying, “The worst people are the enemies within. Those people are more dangerous than Russia and China”. He further suggests that these individuals are mentally ill and “should be put in jail”.
The clip also showed Trump’s proposed methods for handling these individuals, advocating for “one rough hour, very rough hour”, where “sick, radical left people and lunatics” can be dealt with using “national guards or even military if necessary”.
Harris then warns the public that, in Trump’s view, these ‘enemies within’ are those “who don’t support him or bend to his will”. She specifically highlights that “Journalists, election officials and judges” will be his primary targets, and he will deploy the military to confront them.
In Harris’s opinion, “a second term for Trump would be a very huge risk for America and will be dangerous.” Emphasizing the gravity of her warning, she stated, “He wants to send military after American citizens“.
