Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris stopped her fans from getting too wild with their Trump bashing at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday.
On the second day of her battleground blitz with running mate Tim Walz, when she got to the point in her now-familiar stump speech about her days prosecuting predators, fraudsters and scammers, supporters, like those in Philadelphia on Tuesday, were just starting to chant “lock him up” when Harris deviated from the script.
“Well, hold on,” she said, holding out her hand as if to placate the crowd in Eau Claire, Wisc. “You know what, the courts are going to handle that part of it. What we’re gonna do is beat him in November.”
It’s not how the rule of law works. Presidents don’t lock people up*, and that’s what’s “Trumpian” about it. That’s quite clear to me.
To equivocate however, the idea that the courts are currently equipped to deliver justice is laughable. Judge Cannon is a clear partisan with too little judicial experience to handle a case like his. The supreme court has been ratfucked since god knows when. I would love to hear her say more about the need for judicial reforms and strengthening the plumbing of our democracy against when we inevitably have to flush another turd this size.
*Except obviously Gitmo needs to be stopped finally, ffs
