Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris slammed Republican nominee Donald Trump at her rally in Erie, Pennylania, using her rival’s own words.
Literally.
Harris made the rare move of airing footage of the former president on a big screen.
The vice president set it up by telling the audience: “After all these years we know who Donald Trump is. He is someone who will stop at nothing to claim power for himself. And you don’t have to take my word for it. I have said for a while now, watch his rallies, listen to his words, he tells us who he is and he tells us what he would do if he is elected president. So, here tonight, I will show you one example of Donald Trump’s world view and intentions.”
“Please roll the clip,” Harris said, drawing gasps from the crowd.
A montage of Trump fear mongering about the “enemies from within” and ranting that he may use the military to handle “radical left lunatics” if he wins back the White House then played.
The clip ended and the audience booed.
“So you heard his words coming from him,” said Harris.
Trump is “talking about that he considers anyone who doesn’t support him or who will not bend to his will, an enemy of our country,” she continued. “It’s a serious issue. He is saying that he would use the military to go after them. Think about this.”
“This is among the reasons I believe so strongly that a second Trump term would be a huge risk for America and dangerous,” she added. “Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged and he is out for unchecked power.”
