Harris harshly criticized Trump's policies
The Democrat spoke at an event in San Francisco to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Emerge America, an organization that encourages Democratic women to pursue careers in politics and run for elected office.
During her speech, Harris sharply criticized Trump's first 100 days in power.
This speech by Harris was the most powerful since Trump returned to the White House. It actually marked Harris' return to the political arena. After losing the election, she remained silent for a long time.
Kamala Harris, in her speech, said the country was witnessing "a complete abandonment by the president of America's highest ideals." She praised leaders and institutions resisting Trump and his policies — from members of Congress to judges who, as the Democrat said, "uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would imprison them," to universities that are defying "unconstitutional demands," to ordinary Americans.
The politician also accused Trump of deliberately intimidating and spreading chaos to strengthen his own power.
They expect that if they can scare some people, it will have a frightening effect on others. But they fail to notice that fear is not the only thing that is contagious. Courage is contagious.
