President Donald Trump says Democratic U.S. Senator and Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris is “unlikable,” a “Communist,” and a “monster.”
“I thought that wasn’t even a contest last night,” Trump told Fox News Business host Maria Bartiromo in a phone interview Thursday morning, after the vice presidential debate. “She was terrible. She was. I don’t think you could get worse and totally unlikable, and she is. She’s a Communist, she’s left of Bernie. She’s rated left of Bernie by everybody,” Trump rattled on, referring to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
“She’s a Communist,” the president repeated in the wild, off-the-rails interview.
“We’re gonna have a Communist? And she’s going to be in it, in my opinion within a month,” he said, appearing to claim she will be president soon. “Look I sit next to Joe and I looked at Joe. Joe’s not lasting two months as President. Okay, that’s my opinion.”
“No, she’s a communist. She’s not a socialist she’s well beyond a socialist take a look at her views. She wants to open up the borders to allow killers and murderers and rapists to pour into our country,” he said, which is a lie.
Trump then almost reprised his original campaign announcement.
“It’s hard to get into our country and when we do have people in our country that are bad I throw them out. We’re throwing out thousands, tens of thousands of people and they’re murderers, and rapists.
Later in the interview President Trump called Senator Harris a “monster.”
