Vice President Kamala Harris has had more than enough of convicted felon Donald Trump’s whining about how unfair his New York hush money trial was, and she’s giving him a dose of reality that’s certain to enrage the thin-skinned disgraced ex-president.
Speaking with Jimmy Kimmel on his show Tuesday evening, Harris lit into the failed former head of state.
“Let’s think about this: A jury of 12 people ― peers ― over the course of six weeks deliberated on the evidence and facts and unanimously determined guilt [for] 34 felony counts,” she told Kimmel. “There was a defense attorney who actively participated in selecting that jury, who actively made decisions about witnesses to call, witnesses to cross-examine, and the jury made their decision.”
Trump’s complaints, Harris added, are really about something else.
“I think that the reality is cheaters don’t like getting caught and being held accountable.”
The VP also urged voters to keep their eyes on the upcoming election.
“I think the American people want to know that there is a president who believes they are accountable to the people.”
That led Kimmel to add, “And who’s allowed to travel overseas.”
Trump knows his criminal conviction is a major political albatross around his neck. And for a man who is already one of the most deeply disliked human beings on the globe, it could well be the tipping point that destroys his chances of attracting any voters other than his most ardent supporters.
