The vice president's campaign has posted the full clip of Donald Trump's comments about the Democratic party being a threat to democracy on X.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign released the full version of a clip of former President Donald Trump talking about political rhetoric in a new post on X on Thursday, after accusing Fox News of editing the footage shown during her interview.

Harris, who was interviewed by Fox News’ Bret Baier on Wednesday night, was shown the clip of Trump at the Faulkner Focus town hall on the network. The former president claimed that Democrats are “weaponizing the government” and conducting “phony investigations.”

Harris responded on air and said: “Bret, I’m sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the ‘enemy within’ that he has repeated when he’s speaking about the American people. That’s not what you just showed.”

The vice president said: “Here’s the bottom line—he has repeated it many times and you and I both know that. You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.”

    Thanks for posting the video, but can we all stop posting links to Twitter? There are other platforms available.

      what would you rather them do? Seeing it posted directly from the source is good, are you asking to include an archived version?

        Just saying that I doubt Twitter is the only source for that video. As much as everyone says that they’re abandoning the platform, I still see too many links pointing to it.
