President Trump unsurprisingly slammed Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) shortly after the California senator was announced as Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s running mate in the November election, during a press conference at the White House on Tuesday afternoon.
Trump tore into Harris’ previous comments that were critical of Biden during the Democratic primary, and said that he was “a little surprised” that the former VP came around to choosing her as his running mate.
Although Trump claimed that Harris “was my number one draft pick,” he pointed out that she “did very, very poorly in the primaries” before repeatedly calling her “nasty” toward the end of the briefing.
The President first argued that Harris was “nasty” and “disrespectful” to Biden during the primary, citing how she criticized Biden during a primary debate last year for his record on bussing.
Trump then proceeded to take aim at Harris — who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee — for being “nasty” during then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing in 2018.
“I won’t forget that,” Trump said.

I’m sure the words “radical” and “socialist” will be used in a flailing attempt to brand them as firebrands right out of 1960s. A time most voters don’t remember anyway.
He’s all revved up and ready to go. Though…listening for a while now he doesn’t sound like his usual

Portland and Oregon have 10,000 and they’re great and Seattle, and Seattle and Washington, Washington has 10,000 and they’re very fine people. (I think he’s speaking about police officers)
