'She's Making Up': Donald Trump Reacts to Kamla Harris' DNC Speech
In anticipation of her address, Trump expressed his intent to denounce Harris by posting a series of posts on Truth Social sharpening his attack on Harris.
Washington: Donald Trump launched a scathing at Kamala Harris shortly after she formally accepted her nomination by the Democrats at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), accusing her of lying and 'making up' facts.
In anticipation of her address, Trump expressed his intent to denounce Harris by posting a series of posts on Truth Social sharpening his attack on Harris.
"I'm getting ready to be fair but critical of Comrade Kamala Harris. My Play by Play will be on TRUTH Social, starting SOON!"
Wasting no time, Kamala as soon as she began her speech lambasted Trump on his stance on 'abortion rights.' Shye said, "And let’s be clear about how we got here: Donald Trump handpicked members of the United States Supreme Court to take away reproductive rights."
She added, "One must ask why exactly is it that they don’t trust women? Well, we trust women."
Trump responded by saying, " Everybody, Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, and Conservatives, wanted Roe v. Wade TERMINATED, and brought back to the States. Like Ronald Reagan and myself, most believe in EXCEPTIONS. Now the people are voting, which is the way it was supposed to be. I do not limit access to birth control or I.V.F. - THAT IS A LIE, these are all false stories that she’s making up, that I’ve never even heard of. It’s just words coming out of her mouth. I TRUST WOMEN, ALSO, AND I WILL KEEP WOMEN SAFE! SHE WON’T, BECAUSE THE INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY AT HER OPEN BORDER IS DESTROYING THE LIVES OF WOMEN, AND THE FAMILIES AND JOBS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS."
Furthermore, Harris made a forceful defence of Ukraine and NATO in her speech attacking Trump over his past comments on the conflicts.
"As President, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our Nato allies."
In response, Trump defended his record on NATO, "NATO wasn’t paying their Bills, almost every Country was delinquent. When I said, 'If you don’t pay, we’re out, the United States is tired of being a sucker,' the money came rolling in by the BILLIONS, and I saved Nato!"
Trump also seized the moment to criticise Harris on several domestic issues, particularly immigration, where he accused her of wanting to grant citizenship to all undocumented immigrants.
"She just called to give all Illegals CITIZENSHIP, SAY GOODBYE TO THE USA! SHE IS A RADICAL MARXIST!" Trump's post read.
