Former President Donald Trump on Friday criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech at the Democratic National Convention and her repeated mentions and attacks on him.
“If I say something slightly out of order like, ‘she didn’t do a very good job last night,’ please never ever mention look or anything like that. If you ever say, ‘she didn’t look very great,’ that’s the end of your political career, so I wouldn’t say anything like that,” Trump said Friday during a campaign event hosted by Turning Point Action in Glendale, Arizona.
“How about her opening where she said ‘thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank, thank you, thank you, thank you.’ I said ‘what the hell is wrong with her?’” Trump said.
He said Harris “mentioned my name 21 times” and he went on to criticize her mention of him during the speech and accused her of not mentioning issues like border security and inflation.
But Harris did mention the border during her speech, and the vice president criticized Trump’s role in tanking a bipartisan border bill earlier this year. Trump lobbied Republicans to oppose the border compromise in part because he wanted to campaign on the issue and didn’t want President Joe Biden, who has since ended his 2024 campaign, to secure a victory in that area.
