In a fiery statement, former President Donald Trump slammed Kamala Harris for backing out of a debate scheduled for September 4.
Trump took to Truth Social to clarify his position and announce details of the upcoming event:
The Gateway Pundit reported that Harris’ campaign refused to participate in the anticipated debate against Trump on Fox News, instead insisting on far-left media outlets to control the narrative and shield Harris from tough questions.
“I have agreed with Fox News to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th. The debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC but has been terminated as Biden will no longer be participating. I am also in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, creating a conflict of interest. The Fox News debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at a site yet to be determined. Moderators will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the rules will mirror those from my previous debate with Sleepy Joe — BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!”
Harris’s campaign took a defensive stance. Michael Tyler, the communications director for her campaign, accused Trump of being “scared” and trying to back out of the debate initially agreed upon for September 10. Tyler told NBC:
“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime-time national audience. We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to. Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th.”
Trump explained that he is “in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.” He also noted that he had agreed to a September 10 debate with Biden, who was removed from the ticket by party leaders and replaced by Harris after she took Biden’s delegates. In response, Trump posted on Truth Social:
“Kamala Harris doesn’t have the mental capacity to do a REAL Debate against me, scheduled for September 4th in Pennsylvania. She’s afraid because there is no way she can justify her corrupt and open borders policy, the environmental destruction of our country, the Afghanistan embarrassment, runaway inflation, terrible economy, high interest rates and taxes, and her years-long fight against saying ‘Merry Christmas.’ I’ll see her on September 4th or I won’t see her at all. She is acknowledged as the Worst Vice President in History, which complements the Worst President, Crooked Joe Biden. Together these two low-IQ individuals have destroyed our country, but we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
In a separate post featuring a video of Harris struggling with coherent speech, Trump added:
“Does anyone notice that Kamala Harris doesn’t do interviews? That’s because she’s really DUMB! She can’t speak properly without a teleprompter. She has an extremely low IQ, and our country does not need someone who cannot put two sentences together. We just got finished with that — His name is Sleepy Joe Biden!”
Trump posted the video where both Biden and Harris were present to greet the Gershkovich, Whelan, and Kurmasheva at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington late Thursday night. Things got awkward for Harris when she started babbling to reporters shortly after meeting the freed prisoners. Speaking off-script for the first time as the Democrats’ presumptive nominee, Harris used the opportunity to praise Biden for his “diplomatic” skills but quickly stumbled over her words.
