Trump Tells Fox News He Had ‘Every Right’ to Meddle With 2020 Election.
Former president declares he could have indicted his political opponents ‘so easy’, while Harris and Biden head back out on the campaign trail for the first time in six weeks for a Labor Day parade in Pennsylvania
Donald Trump boasted that he had “every right” to interfere in the 2020 presidential election as he vies to reclaim the White House this November.
“Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election, where you have every right to do it, you get indicted, and your poll numbers go up,” he told Fox News anchor Mark Levin on Sunday evening.
While fuming about criminal indictments against him, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested Vice President Kamala Harris was to blame for hostages who were recently found dead in Gaza.
The day after President Joe Biden announced that six dead hostages had been found in a tunnel under the city of Rafah, Trump lashed out in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Trump argued that Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American citizen, was murdered by Hamas terrorists "due to a complete lack of American Strength and Leadership."
"Make no mistake - This happened because Comrade Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe Biden are poor Leaders," Trump wrote, before tying the deaths to the ex-president's own criminal cases. "They have blood on their hands! Sadly, this is the total lack of 'Leadership' that Kamala and Biden represent - One that allows terrorists to take American lives, because they only care about Weaponizing the Department of Justice against their Political Opponent."
Referring to U.S. troops who died in Afghanistan, the GOP candidate insisted that Harris was "directly responsible for unnecessary deaths that should have never happened."
Trump’s comments come as he faces a slew of legal challenges, including a fresh indictment from the Department of Justice’s Special Counsel Jack Smith over the former president’s election subversion case.
The comment immediately spread online.
Legal analyst and MSNBC host Katie Phang replied with, "Criming and then confessing to the criming. That’s a Trump specialty."
Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance set the record straight on the law:
"There's no right to 'interfere' with a presidential election," she said. "This is the banality of evil right here—Trump asserting he can override the will of the voters to claim victory in an election he lost. And, he will do it again. We must vote against him in overwhelming numbers."
Former prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega also weighed in, saying, "Keep talking moron."
"I love that Trump uses the word 'interfere' thereby making the case against himself," she added Sunday.
Attorney Taylor E. Darcy said, "No one has the right to interfere with an election."
"Either 1) Trump believes his lies, or 2) Trump is old and delusional," Darcy added. "Either way, he is unfit to be president."
Vanity Fair special correspondent Molly Jong-Fast simply responded with, "Ummmmmmmm."
Psychologist Dr. David A. Lustig said, "We’re now at that remarkable point where Trump’s sociopathic narcissism is working synergistically with his advancing dementia, leaving us with an incredibly nasty, malevolent, and Machiavellian bowl of oatmeal."
Dozens of other users simply tagged the U.S. Justice Department and Special Counsel Jack Smith in their replies, saying they were flagging "evidence" for Trump's criminal case.
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are heading back out on the campaign trail for a Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Monday, marking the first time they have shared a speaking slot on the political stage since the President stepped off the Democratic ticket in July.
The vice president also accused Trump of “disrespected sacred ground” as he and his campaign team continue to face backlash from his controversial Arlington National Cemetery visit last week.
