Vice President Kamala Harris responded to the former president for the first time Donald Trump's comments about former Rep. Liz Cheneysaid his rhetoric toward his political opponents had become increasingly violent.

“This has to be disqualifying,” she told reporters after arriving in Wisconsin for a series of campaign events. “Anyone who wants to be president of the United States and uses this type of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unfit to be president.”

Harris said she hasn't spoken to Cheney since Trump attacked her during a live interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, but called her a “true patriot” who put the nation above her party.

“I know Liz Cheney well enough to know that she is tough and incredibly brave and has proven herself to be a true patriot during a very difficult time in our country,” Harris said.

The vice president accused Trump of pitting Americans against each other and said he spends “a significant amount of time plotting revenge” against political opponents.

“The list of his enemies has grown longer. His rhetoric has become more extreme and he is even less focused than before on the needs, concerns and challenges facing the American people,” Harris said.

She reiterated her plan to “be a president for all Americans.”

“America deserves better than what Donald Trump is offering,” Harris said. “America deserves a president who understands our role and responsibility to set an example to our people and the rest of the world.”

In addition to criticizing Trump for his comments about Cheney, Harris condemned her Republican opponent for saying during a rally in Nevada that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would serve in the second Trump administration if elected, to “advocate for health and women.” Health.”

Harris said Kennedy “routinely promoted junk science and crazy conspiracy theories” and “is the precise last person in America who should be setting health care policy for America's families and children.”
