She better be ready for what comes next.
During a late-night appearance on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t hold back in addressing former President Trump’s recent conviction, suggesting that “cheaters” don’t appreciate being caught. Speaking with ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, Harris humorously remarked on how swiftly she learned about the verdict, emphasizing the jury’s unanimous decision on 34 felony counts after six weeks of deliberation.
Harris highlighted the thorough judicial process, emphasizing the role of a defense attorney in jury selection and decision-making. She bluntly stated that those who cheat dislike being held accountable, implying Trump’s discomfort with the outcome. Kimmel chimed in, accusing Trump of hypocrisy regarding his claims of the Biden administration weaponizing the Department of Justice.
Responding to Kimmel’s question about why President Biden doesn’t intervene in his son Hunter’s trial, Harris labeled Trump a hypocrite, noting his inconsistent standards. Kimmel expressed bewilderment at how Trump’s supporters overlook such contradictions. Harris pivoted to emphasize Biden’s approach to leadership, criticizing the notion that strength is measured by tearing others down rather than lifting them up.
Highlighting the importance of empathy and caring for others, Harris condemned the “perverse” political dynamic where leadership strength is equated with aggression rather than compassion. She emphasized the Biden administration’s focus on uplifting communities and individuals.
The conversation came in the wake of Trump’s conviction in New York on all 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump’s legal team plans to challenge the verdict, while his supporters argue that Democrats are using legal maneuvers to undermine him politically.
