YIKES! This had to have stung!

During Thursday night’s presidential debate, former President Donald Trump seized a moment to remind Vice President Kamala Harris of her past debate behavior. When Harris, with her microphone muted, attempted to interject by saying “that’s not true” in response to Trump’s comments about her stance on defunding the police, Trump pointedly addressed her.

“I’m talking now, if you don’t mind, please. Does that sound familiar?” Trump said, drawing attention to a notable incident from the 2020 vice presidential debate. In that previous debate, Harris had famously cut off then-Vice President Mike Pence, asserting, “I’m speaking,” when he interrupted her. Trump referenced this moment, highlighting what he saw as a double standard in Harris’s debate conduct.

Harris’s muted response, “don’t lie,” echoed her more aggressive stance in past debates. Trump had previously criticized Harris for being “vicious” toward Pence, underscoring a pattern he believes reflects her debate style and overall approach.

In the 2020 campaign, Harris sought to distance herself from the contentious “defund the police” movement, a policy stance that had gained traction among some progressive circles. As Biden’s running mate, she aimed to navigate the complexities of police reform, emphasizing that funding should be considered within a broader context of reform and public safety. Her nuanced position was intended to balance progressive demands with a more moderate approach to policing.

Trump’s debate remark was a strategic move to draw a parallel between Harris’s past debate behavior and her current policy positions, showcasing a contrast between her rhetoric and actions. This approach underscores Trump’s ongoing strategy of leveraging past controversies to question his opponent’s credibility and consistency.
