Maddow explains the many ways Harris and Trump ‘are not the same’

Rachel Maddow took a few minutes during her show Monday night to break down some of the fundamental differences between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump’s presidential campaigns and bemoan the media’s baffling desire to pretend the two candidates are somehow on the same playing field.

"They are not the same kind of candidates. They are not doing the same kinds of things," Maddow said, citing the more than 700 national security and former military officials who recently signed a letter endorsing Harris. 

And on the other hand? 

"Here's Trump promising that if he's president, he's going to find where California is hiding its huge secret faucet that they used to dump all the rainwater into the ocean," Maddow said. Even Canadians, who are legendarily nice, say Trump’s insistence that water shortage issues could be easily fixed by ending environmental protections is “uninformed.”
