President Trump blasts Biden's VP pick, Kamala Harris, as 'meanest, most horrible

Source: The Hill

WASHINGTON — President Trump welcomed Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., to the presidential race by blasting her as “extraordinarily nasty” and one of the “most liberal” members of the Senate.

The comments came during a White House briefing Tuesday afternoon shortly after former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, announced the selection of Harris as his running mate.

Asked during the briefing for his thoughts about Biden’s pick, Trump began his attack on Harris by airing a litany of policy grievances.

“She is a person that’s told many many stories that weren’t true. She’s very big into raising taxes, she wants to slash funds for our military, at a level that nobody can even believe,” Trump said of Harris.

Wow, it took less than an hour for Trump to call a woman VP candidate "nasty."

7. Trump attacks Kamala Harris over Kavanaugh hearings
Tue Aug 11, 2020, 07:55 PM
Aug 2020

Trump is particularly angry about how mean Kamala Harris was to Kavanaugh.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-attacks-kamala-harris-over-kavanaugh-hearings-in-first-remarks-since-she-was-named-biden-s-running-mate/ar-BB17QnPm?li=BB141NW3

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Tuesday attacked Sen. Kamala Harris over her questioning of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings in his first public remarks since she was named Joe Biden's running mate.

Harris, a former prosecutor, grilled the judge over sexual misconduct allegations against him during the contentious 2018 confirmation hearings.

"And the horrible way she treated Justice Kavanaugh, that was a horrible event. I thought it was terrible for her, I thought it was terrible for our nation," Trump told reporters during a White House briefing. "I thought she was the meanest, the most horrible most disrespectful of anybody in the U.S. Senate."

Trump saved his remarks on Harris for the scheduled briefing. But minutes after the announcement, Trump tweeted a new campaign attack ad on Harris, a vocal critic of the president. The ad accuses Biden of "handing over the reins to Kamala while they jointly embrace the radical left."

That's the reason I would not vote for her in the primary. As someone who has spent many, many years dealing with the aftermath of police and prosecutorial misconduct a former DA was never going to be my first choice.

If you want to talk liberal, IIWPI would repeal the Patriot Act tomorrow and disband DHS, ICE, CBP and all police unions. I would end cash bail. Police departments would be prohibited from using military hardware. Police and prosecutorial misconduct would actually be punished. I would increase capital gains taxes to thirty percent. I would end the practice of professional lobbying of the government. I would overturn Citizens' United and tax write-offs for all political donations. I might even nationalize the military industrial complex once and for all.

"Harris was the safest, most experienced and most tested choice Biden could make"

Harris will create excitement as the first Black woman on a major-party ticket, but no ideological anxiety among middle-of-the road voters. Like Biden, she occupies the Democratic Party’s center ground. And she will raise no questions as to whether she is qualified to take over as president.

A man shaped by the U.S. Senate, Biden was comfortable with a legislator who had shined during difficult hearings related to President Trump’s malfeasance.

An emotive person who values personal ties, Biden chose a running mate who was close to his dear departed son Beau, from the days when Harris and the younger Biden were state attorneys general.

A White politician often referred to as “working class Joe,” Biden understood how important Black voters had been in paving his way to the nomination by giving him a sweeping victory in the South Carolina primary.
