Former President Donald Trump said that he’s “entitled” to personally attack Vice President Kamala Harris because he doesn’t “have a lot of respect for her.”
Speaking with reporters at a news conference at his golf club at Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday afternoon, Trump was asked if he believed his “strategy” of attacking his political opponents was working in his reelection campaign.
“I’m very angry at her, that she weaponized the justice system against me and other people,” the former president responded.
“I think I am entitled to personal attacks,” Trump added. “I don’t have a lot of respect for [Harris]. I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence, and I think she’ll be a terrible president.”
Well the Justice Department is part of the Executive branch. I think the irony is that Project 2025 seeks to remove the independence of various government departments, likely including the DoJ, such that the Executive branch CAN be weaponized against political enemies.
