Kamala Harris Brings a Bit of Trump into her Gathering to Attempt to Show him as ‘Unhinged’: Comment on a Remark on the Alien Enemies Act of 1798
Vice President Harris tried to make people aware of the threats that her rival has made on the campaign trail by bringing a small part of him into her event.
At recent rallies, Trump has shown clips of Harris talking about the policies she supports and instances of her stumbling in interviews. The videos are often seen by his crowd, and often draw boos.
Recently, Trump has said that he would use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport people and that police violence could curb crime.
Trump was asked if he thought Election Day would be peaceful. In response, he talked about using the National Guard or the regular military to tamp down issues, specifically issues caused by his ideological opponents.
“I think the bigger problem are the people from within. Some of the people we have are very bad. People are sick. It is a left-wing ideology. There are Lunatics. It should be very easy to handle, if necessary, by the National Guard or the military. Harris used that clip in her montage.
As a result of his senatorial campaign, Adam is being called one of the enemies from within by Trump. Trump’s campaign has not responded to NPR requests for details on his comments on using the National Guard or military against U.S. citizens.

What Does President Donald Trump Want to Do for the Black Community? A Conversation with a Former Sen. Liz Cheney and an Activist Analogue
Harris has been making a push to appeal to moderate Republicans and independent voters in states like Pennsylvania where polls show the candidates are essentially tied.
She said she would name a bipartisan council to advise her if she won and that she would put a Republican in her cabinet. She is endorsed by many prominent Republicans as well as by a former GOP congressman, Liz Cheney.
Harris also this weekend released a medical report describing her as being in excellent health. She is using it to draw a contrast with Trump, who is almost two decades older than her – and as a way to raise questions about his rambling speeches.
She has said Trump’s decision to skip a second debate and a CBS 60 Minutes interview show his advisers want to hide him from undecided voters. Trump is slated to do two town halls this week — one with Latino voters on Univision, the second on Fox News on Wednesday with an audience of women.
Harris said his church’s measure of true leadership was based on who it lifted up. “And then he’s selling $60 Bibles or tennis shoes and trying to play people, as though that makes him more understanding of the Black community. Come on.”
Harris was criticized by Trump for his lack of engagement with the Black church. She responded by speaking about growing up in the Black church and attending the 23rd Avenue Church of God in Oakland, Calif.
Harris called those claims “simply not true,” saying she was “the most progressive prosecutor in California on marijuana cases.” Harris said she did not send people to jail for simple possession of marijuana, and vowed that as president she would work on decriminalizing marijuana altogether.
Harris defended her record and claimed that her work on behalf of the Black community had been distorted by her political rivals as she was too scripted as being disciplined.
Harris plugged her plans to provide forgiveable loans to entrepreneurs, tax breaks for small business start-ups, down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers, Medicare benefits for home care, and tax credits for low- and middle-income families as measures that would help Black Americans.
“Part of the challenge that I face is that they are trying to scare people away, because they know they otherwise have nothing to run on,” Harris said. “Ask Donald Trump what his plan is for Black America. Ask him.”
“One of the biggest challenges that I face is mis- and disinformation,” Harris said. “It is meant to convince people that they somehow should not believe that the work that I have done has occurred, and has meaning.”
The concern was underscored by the comments of former President Barack Obama. He said the lack of enthusiasm for Harris “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers,” which he attributed to a reluctance to vote for a woman.
When Charlamagne suggested that Trump’s vision for the country should be called fascism, adding “Why can’t we just say it?” Harris replied: “Yeah, we can say that.”
DETROIT — Vice President Harris tried to address criticism that Democrats too often take Black voters for granted during a town hall on Tuesday with the influential radio host Charlamagne tha God.
