Kamala Harris Team Roasts Fox News And Trump Over ‘Stream Of Not-Much-Consciousness’ Presser In Blistering Memo
Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign team roasted former President Donald Trump over his latest press conference — and threw in a hard shot at Fox News in the bargain.
Last week, Trump held a widely derided press conference in an effort to capitalize on criticism of Harris from the media for not giving a press conference or interview since kicking off her campaign.
Then on Thursday, Trump gave yet another chaotic press conference, this time at Trump Bedminster. Team Harris pounced at the chance to roast Trump in a campaign memo that included a reference to the blockbuster Fox News-Dominion lawsuit:
We aren’t sure what we just watched and neither is America.
From his member-only golf club, Donald Trump tried to read some paper for more than 40 minutes, while giving a stream of not-much-consciousness. It was quite boring. Networks cut from his speech (except Fox, he has Dominion over them).
Then, he took some questions. It did not get better.
In 2023, Fox News agreed to a settlement that included a $787.5 million payout in the Dominion defamation suit that was about to play out at trial.
The full memo ticked through highlights from the presser and concluded “Don’t say we didn’t tell you so”:
Statement on Trump’s…Whatever That Was
Another “press conference.” Same old Donald Trump.
We aren’t sure what we just watched and neither is America.
From his member-only golf club, Donald Trump tried to read some paper for more than 40 minutes, while giving a stream of not-much-consciousness. It was quite boring. Networks cut from his speech (except Fox, he has Dominion over them).
Then, he took some questions. It did not get better.
Most important for middle class families, Donald Trump has no plan to lower costs, he has a plan to raise costs.
The following is a statement from Harris-Walz 2024 Spokesperson James Singer:
“At his country club, Donald Trump, huffed and puffed his opposition to lowering food costs for middle and working class Americans and prescription drug costs for seniors before pivoting back to his usual lies and delusions.
“No surprise, Trump doesn’t want to defend his agenda that would raise costs for families by $3,900 a year, cut Social Security, and eliminate the Affordable Care Act – all so he can give his rich donors tax breaks.
“The American people cannot trust a word Donald Trump says, but they can trust Vice President Kamala Harris, who has spent her life taking on fraudsters, cheaters, and criminals like Donald Trump to make our country safer and lower costs for the middle class.”
A reminder of what the “big facts and very substantial truths” actually are:
Donald Trump left office with the worst jobs record in modern history
Trump would hike taxes on the middle class by $3,900
Economists warn that Trump’s plans would raise prices and set off an “inflation bomb”
Don’t say we didn’t tell you so
While Harris has gaggled with her traveling press several times, she still has not held a formal press conference or given an extensive interview.
