Trump campaign criticizes Harris as ‘still a San Francisco radical’ after CNN interview

The Trump-Vance campaign released a statement Thursday night following Vice President Kamala Harris’ first media interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, calling her a “San Francisco radical” and highlighting aspects of her record that were not discussed in the interview.

“(Harris) said her values ​​’haven’t changed’ three times. She’s still a radical in San Francisco,” the campaign said.

The Trump-Vance campaign said, among other things, that CNN’s Dana Bash failed to bring up Harris’s support for “ending bail for violent criminals, raising money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which helped free rioters,” her “vote for the tie-breaking vote on the American Rescue Plan, which economists say fueled inflation” and her “support for closing immigration detention centers and releasing thousands of criminals into America’s neighborhoods.”

“(Harris) spoke for just over 16 minutes and didn’t even address the crime crisis in this country. She spent just 3 minutes and 25 seconds talking about the economy and 2 minutes and 36 seconds talking about immigration,” the statement said.

During her interview, Harris said she believes Americans are ready to “turn the page” on the former President Donald Trump.

She also defended her work as border czar for the Biden administration, saying her work “provided some benefits.”

“The work that I’ve done as vice president at the request of the president has actually resulted in a number of benefits, including historic investments by American companies in that region. The number of immigrants from that region has actually declined since we started that work,” she said.

“When I look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people, I think people are ready for a new way forward, in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by, by hope and optimism. I think unfortunately, over the last decade, we’ve had a former president, someone who has really pushed an agenda, and in an environment that’s been about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans — that really divides our nation. And I think people are ready to turn the page,” Harris said.
