The campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris took a shot at Donald Trump’s “strange” speech delivered Friday at Turning Point USA in Florida.
In the speech, Trump invoked panic of Democratic persecution of Catholics, took a victory lap that he "officially defeated" President Joe Biden and stoked fears that he plans to end Democracy. He also earned jeers for lobbing an attack at Harris over pronouncing her name.
In response to the speech, a spokesperson for Harris, the frontrunner to become to the Democratic nominee for president, earned applause from supporters as she clapped back at her Republican rival.

"Tonight, Donald Trump couldn’t pronounce words, insulted the faith of Jewish and Catholic Americans, lied about the election (again), lied about other stuff, bragged about repealing Roe, proposed cutting billions in education funding, announced he would appoint more extremist judges, revealed he planned to fill a second Trump term with more criminals like himself, attacked lawful voting, went on and on and on, and generally sounded like someone you wouldn’t want to sit near at a restaurant — let alone be President of the United States," said James Singer.
Harris added that America can “do better than the bitter, bizarre, and backward looking delusions of criminal Donald Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris offers a vision for America’s future focused on freedom, opportunity, and security.”
Victor Shi, a member of the Harris campaign’s youth team lauded her response.
“DAMN. This is how you slam Donald Trump,” wrote Shi.
“That is the way to do it!” exclaimed @dconnla.
