The vice president's campaign has posted the full clip of Donald Trump's comments about the Democratic party being a threat to democracy on X.

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.”

    About the only things I can think of that presidents need to do that has nothing to do with being a lawyer are being the head of the military and making decisions around military operations.

    I still think it helps to be a lawyer in that respect, because you need to be able to understand and properly interpret information provided to you. The president may be “the head of the military” but they operate entirely off of the advice and information provided by their administration/military staff and then make decisions based on that information.
