Harris attacks Trump for his ‘enemy from within’ comments at Pennsylvania rally
Harris stresses message that Trump is a danger to America’s democracy, as US election campaign hits final stretch
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Monday condemned Donald Trump for his ominous comments about “the enemy within” the United States and threat to deploy the military domestically, in a renewed effort to paint her Republican opponent as a threat to democracy.
In a rare move at her own campaign rally in the political swing state Pennsylvania, the US vice-president showed a clip of Trump, the former president, telling his supporters “those people are more dangerous – the enemy from within – than Russia”.
Harris, 59, has recently pressed Trump to release his health records, as she has, and knocked him for meandering tangents and focus on fictional characters such as Hannibal Lecter.
“A second Trump term would be a huge risk for America, and dangerous. Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged,” Harris told the Erie crowd after playing the clip.
She went on to say that Trump poses a danger because he believes those who do not agree with him are the enemy.
