Later that day, the vice president told CNN that he believes President Trump is a fascist, although the White House has previously acknowledged that President Joe Biden believes that.
The only attack Harris has tried to distance herself from is calling Trump supporters “trash.”
Biden responded to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash” at a rally on Sunday, while calling Trump supporters “trash” during a Zoom call on Tuesday. The White House tried to explain the remark by saying the president did not mean “supporters,” but rather “supporters.” They released records reflecting that in the midst of a firestorm.

The vice president stepped up his attacks on Trump during his closing argument on the Ellipse. Harris used her speaking venue, where Trump last spoke to supporters before the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, to highlight the danger the former president poses to the country. .
“Look, we know who Donald Trump is. This is the person we sent in,” Harris said.
“Donald Trump told us his priorities for a second term. He has an enemy list of people he intends to prosecute. “The goal is to free the violent extremists who assaulted law enforcement officers on the same day.”
The vice president went on to call President Trump a “despicable tyrant” who is “obsessed with revenge” and “seeking to acquire unlimited power out of frustration.” She calls him “unstable” and has called him “unstable” before. Harris even told supporters that Trump would use military force.
“Donald Trump intends to use the U.S. military against American citizens who simply disagree with him, people he quotes as ‘the enemy from within.’ “This is not a presidential candidate who is thinking about how to make his life better,” she said.
“This is a man who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, obsessed with grievances, and driven by unbridled power,” Harris continued.
