Donald Trump doubled down on comments he made at the weekend in which he referred to Democrats as “enemies from within” and that the military could be called upon to handle any unrest from “radical left lunatics”.
When confronted with his comments by Harris Faulkner of Fox News during a town hall of his supporters, the former president added that they are “sick” and “evil”.
Kamala Harris has said that Trump’s remarks are evidence that he is “increasingly unstable and unhinged” and ”out for unchecked power”.
This evening, the vice president and Democratic nominee will sit for an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier, which will be broadcast unedited on Wednesday evening — a marked contrast to Trump’s pre-recorded and edited appearance earlier in the day.
On Tuesday, the Democrat joined Charlamagne Tha God for an hour-long sitdown in Detroit in which she declared she is going to win in November and agreed with the host when he called Trump’s policy platform “fascist”.
Also on Tuesday, Trump took part in a freewheeling Bloomberg Q&A with the Economic Club of Chicago and told a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, that he considers illegal immigration a greater problem than inflation.
