Harkening back to her time as prosecutor, Harris says, 'I know Donald Trump's type'
With that out of the way,
Kamala Harris began launching verbal salvos at
Donald Trump, comparing him to the criminals and wrongdoers she used to meet in the courtroom.
“Before I was elected vice-president, before I was elected United States senator, I was elected attorney general of the state of California, and I was a courtroom prosecutor before then,” Harris said.
“
And in those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds: predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”
The crowd loved that line, and Harris kept at it:
And in this campaign, I promise you, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week.
As attorney general of California, I took on one of our country’s largest for-profit colleges that was scamming students. Donald Trump ran a for-profit college that scammed students. As a prosecutor, I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse. Well, Trump was found liable for committing sexual abuse.
As attorney general of California, I took on the big Wall Street banks and held them accountable for fraud. Donald Trump was just found guilty of fraud on 34 counts.
Let’s also make no mistake, this campaign is not just about … Donald Trump. This campaign is about who we fight for. This is about who we fight for.
