Listening to Vice President Harris’s campaign speech at Washington’s Crossing, Pennsylvania Wednesday, I was struck by her sharpened attacks on former President Trump.
“It is clear Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged … unfit to serve … fascist to the core … dangerous to this country” … were among her attack lines, some hers and some she attributed to former Trump advisors.… read more
