Donald Trump attacks Kamala Harris and questions her competence

Theo

Washington:

Donald Trump, former US President and likely Republican presidential candidate, has attacked Vice President Kamala Harris, raising doubts about her competence and calling her an “insurance policy” for incumbent President Joe Biden.

His attack on Kamala Harris, who is of Indian and African descent, came amid discussions within the Democratic Party about whether President Biden should continue to run as a candidate in the November 5 presidential election.

Some Democrats have called on 81-year-old Joe Biden to withdraw as a candidate over his disastrous performance in the June 27 debate with Trump, where he struggled to finish complete sentences and failed to land decisive blows on his opponent.

“Whatever you can say about the fraudulent Joe Biden, you have to give him credit for making a brilliant decision, probably the smartest decision he ever made. He chose Kamala Harris as his vice president. No, it was brilliant. Because it was an insurance policy. Maybe the best insurance policy I’ve ever seen,” 78-year-old Donald Trump told his supporters in Florida.

“If Joe had picked someone even halfway competent, they would have thrown him out of office years ago, but they can’t do that because she has to be their second choice,” he said, repeatedly mispronouncing her name.

Trump said Harris had been given two very important tasks as vice president: border security and deterring Russia from attacking Ukraine.

“First she was tasked with security at the U.S. border. She never showed up. She never left. She was never there once. And the border is the worst border in the history of the world,” he claimed.

“We have the best border in history because it has the worst border in the history of the world. Then it was sent to Europe to stop Russia from attacking Ukraine. How did that work? Not very well. Both times the result was a fatal failure. Since Kamala was appointed border czar, the Biden-Harris administration has lost track of an estimated 150,000 children, many of whom have undoubtedly been raped, trafficked, killed or horribly abused,” Trump said.

Trump accused 59-year-old Harris of being a socialist.

“I don’t think Kamala Harris’ California socialism is going to sit well with the people of Doral, the people of Miami or the people of Florida. Because in Florida, we don’t like socialism. We want our freedom, right? We want our freedom,” he said.

“Joe, Kamala and the entire Democratic establishment were caught red-handed, in the middle of the biggest scandal and the biggest cover-up… it’s a cover-up. It’s the biggest cover-up in political history. As you know, they are all co-conspirators in the sinister plot to deceive the American public about the cognitive abilities of the man in the Oval Office,” Trump claimed.
