Vice President Kamala Harris recently blasted former President Donald Trump over his attempts to overthrow the election and his attacks on the trial that resulted in his conviction on felony charges via Mediaite.
Trump has regularly been attacking the former adult film star Stormy Daniels hush money trial in which Trump was found “guilty” on all 34 felony counts, as well as the other criminal trials that are still pending. Two of those trials have to do with his attempts to overturn the 2024 election.
Harris was the keynote speaker at the Michigan Democratic Party Legacy Dinner on Saturday night, during which she took aim at Trump over those issues and more, and labeled him a “cheater.”
Some excerpts from the speech, provided by the vice president’s staff:
“Donald Trump openly tried to overturn the last election. And now, he openly attacks the foundations of our justice system.
“Following his conviction in New York last month, Trump has been claiming the whole trial was rigged. That’s false.
“Just look at the facts. Over the course of 6 weeks, a jury of 12 Americans reviewed the evidence. His defense attorney actively participated in selecting that jury. And actively made decisions about which witnesses to call and cross examine. And the jury came back with a unanimous decision. Guilty on 34 counts.
“You know why he complains? Beause the reality is, cheaters don’t like getting caught.
“And since the verdict, he attacks the judge and the witnesses. He suggests the case could be a “breaking point” for his supporters, hinting at violence. He spreads lies that our Administration is controlling this case when everyone knows it was a state prosecution. And he says that he will use a second term for revenge.
“Simply put, Donald Trump thinks he is above the law. This should be disqualifying for anyone who wants to be President of the United States.”
