U.S. Vice President, Kamala Harris has attacked former president, Donald Trump, saying he is an unserious man, warning against voting him into power.
The CNN reports that Harris spoke after accepting the Democratic nomination for president on Friday.
“Donald Trump is an unserious man” but consequences of electing him “are extremely serious,” Harris said.
Harris laid out the consequences of electing former President Donald Trump to a second term.
“In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man, but the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious,” she warned.
She spoke about the “chaos and calamity” of his years in the Oval Office and also pointed to him questioning election results in 2020 when he lost his reelection bid.
“Donald Trump tried to throw away your votes. When he failed, he sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol where they assaulted law enforcement officers.
“When politicians in his own party begged him to call off the mob and send help, he did the opposite. He fanned the flames,” she said.
Harris also highlighted that Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts in a hush money case and that a federal jury in his civil defamation trial found that the former president had sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll.
“He was found guilty of fraud by a jury of everyday Americans, and separately found liable for committing sexual abuse,” she said.
