She'll 'destroy the country': Trump rambles about Kamala Harris in new Fox News interview



Former President Donald Trump sat down for a zig-zagging interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, during which he laid down a series of new attacks on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Harris, he said, is "far more radical left" than Biden, and a bit younger.

"I thought she was a little younger, but she's 60," he said.

He tried to enumerate some extremist views, saying, "In politics, when you start off saying something, that's where you are, and she was for Defund the Police" and that she wants to give citizenship to "20 million people," which would "destroy the country."

Trump then went on to repeat a frequent claim from his rallies about migrants coming from Central America.

"They're coming from mental institutions, insane asylums, I always say that's a step above mental institutions."

There is no evidence any country is sending people to the U.S. from mental institutions, and some social media commentators have suggested Trump's entire basis for saying this is a mistaken word association between "asylum seekers" and "insane asylums."

Ingraham, who previously clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, then asked Trump to comment on Biden's newly released Supreme Court ethics and term reforms, which include reversing the court's recent ruling that presidents have a presumption of immunity for official acts.

Trump insisted that after "all of the bad things, the evil things [Biden's] done," like withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, "there's no way he would write off immunity."

He went on to say Biden's only proposing changes to the Supreme Court because "they staged a coup ... nobody ever heard of this before. It's a coup" to get him out of the presidential race, so he's bored and left with nothing to do.

After this, Ingraham pivoted to talking about the assassination attempt, where Trump talked about the "big, strong people on top of me" offering protection, and remarking that his wife Melania Trump saw the whole thing in real time, and she "either likes or loves me, and that's nice."
