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.”

Thankfully here in California, we have mail in voting. Those of us that opt in never have to go near a polling place, and I was able to drop my ballot off last week.
Nothing’s gonna happen in California. It’s too blue to matter and it’s on the West coast. If there’s going to be an attack, it’ll be on the east coast so people across the country will wake up to hear the news.
A couple of lone-wolf attacks in a blue section of Pennsylvania, for example, could throw the entire state into chaos. I will bet all of the money and the left body part of your choice that Trump would immediately contest the election and the Supreme Court would immediately say the legalese equivalent of “Hey, sorry about the whole terror attack thing, but you could have mailed in your vote early. You had the opportunity to vote and chose not to. All Hail King Trump!”
This is what I’m worried about. Attacks and threats of violence at polling places in blue areas of battleground states. Heck, a gang of them just driving around in full Y’All Qaeda gear and carrying shotguns might be enough.
Or just one actual attack at like 7 AM. Doesn’t matter where. Just to send a message. I guarantee you. One actual attack in one polling place and watch participation drop by half in every battleground state.
Blue California is only in the largest cities, the rest is quite red and very Trumpy. Some areas are known hotbeds for righty radicals. Something could happen in California easily and there may even be more propensity because of the size of the population.
California is on the west coast. By the time the polls open and a MAGA moron does something stupid, voting in most of the country will already have been going on for hours, blunting its effectiveness. The most you’d do is disrupt a polling place that would hardly matter when compared to the rest of California, and would have no impact on the election since there’s zero chance CA is going red. And by the time it spreads around the country, most of the country will have already voted.
Pennsylvania is a battleground state and on the east coast. Not only would it be possible to actually alter the outcome of the election, but it would have the bonus of what would be blaring on every TV, news, podcast, twitter feed, and facebook post in the rest of the country when they wake up, causing a nationwide chilling effect before they even wake up. Maximum impact, maximum effectiveness.
How many electoral college votes does California have versus Pennsylvania? If it went red, it could change a few things.
