The vice president's campaign has posted the full clip of Donald Trump's comments about the Democratic party being a threat to democracy on X.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign released the full version of a clip of former President Donald Trump talking about political rhetoric in a new post on X on Thursday, after accusing Fox News of editing the footage shown during her interview.

Harris, who was interviewed by Fox News’ Bret Baier on Wednesday night, was shown the clip of Trump at the Faulkner Focus town hall on the network. The former president claimed that Democrats are “weaponizing the government” and conducting “phony investigations.”

Harris responded on air and said: “Bret, I’m sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the ‘enemy within’ that he has repeated when he’s speaking about the American people. That’s not what you just showed.”

The vice president said: “Here’s the bottom line—he has repeated it many times and you and I both know that. You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.”

    She’s run a fairly flawless campaign, IMO. It could be summed with the phrase “Let Trump be Trump”

      “I’m gonna put Republicans in my cabinet” is my favorite part. Real strong stance for someone saying Republicans are the end of democracy.

        First of all, that’s not unusual. Obama did the same thing. It’s called coalition building.

        Secondly, she’s pointing to Trump as being the end of democracy not Republicans. She’d be glad to get Republican votes.

        MAGA’ts are not real Republicans. The GOP is an extremist far-right party these days.

          Just to be clear, I don’t like traditional, old school Republicans. But they’re not a threat to democracy itself. Civil wars and fascist takeovers are bad for business.

          But the inmates have taken over the asylum at the GOP. MAGA doesn’t care about democracy, or money, or anything. They’re a cult.

        I don’t think the Democrats have ever said the Republicans are the end of Democracy…Trump and his cult will end Democracy.

        There’s like maybe 10 Republicans out there that aren’t in the Trump cult.
