Harris Lays Into Trump For His Attack On Detroit In Her Interview With Charlamagne Tha God
HuffPost
The coup-attempting former president in his last visit to the key swing state city warned that “the whole country” would resemble Detroit if Harris wins.
Vice President Kamala Harris defended Detroit during an appearance Tuesday with nationally popular Black radio host Charlamagne Tha God just days after Donald Trump disparaged the key swing state city in a rambling speech delivered there.
“Can you imagine, you go to a city and you say you want the votes of those people, and then you disparage the city?” the Democratic nominee for president said during a special hourlong afternoon edition of Charlamagne’s syndicated morning show. “That’s what he did in Detroit.”
Harris’ appearance was designed to shore up her standing with Black men, who are among the several specific demographics targeted by the coup-attempting former president as he runs to regain the White House and stay out of prison.
Harris took questions from both in-studio guests of Charlamagne ― whose real name is Lenard Larry McKelvey ― as well as listeners who sent in questions remotely. The afternoon show was broadcast from Detroit, where Harris arrived late Monday on the first day of what will be an 11-day campaign swing through the seven states where the election will likely be determined.
Some questions were about her record as a prosecutor in California and the false claim that she had sent thousands of Black men to prison for possessing marijuana.
