Kamala Harris attacks President Trump with angry rhetoric, returning to politics
Former Vice President Kamala Harris returned to the political arena after delivering a fierce speech Wednesday night, slamming the Trump administration’s first 100 days.

“Now, I know that tonight's event coincides with the 100 days after the inauguration, and I'll leave it to others to take into account what's going on so far,” she said. “But I'm going to say that. We've witnessed wholesale abandonment of these ideals, rather than the government's efforts to improve the highest ideals of the United States.”
Harris accuses Trump of advancing the agenda [of] The narrow, selfish vision of the United States “threats the “constitutional crisis” to the country.

She accused Trump of bringing “chaos” to the United States through his tariff policies and accused him of being responsible for “the biggest artificial economic crisis in modern presidential history.”
But beyond that, Harris claims that the Trump administration is promoting a willful vision of undermining American democracy.
“Some people describe what has happened in recent months as absolute chaos, and of course, I understand why, these tariffs are certainly correct,” she said. “But friends, please don't think everything is messy.”
She continued: “In fact, what we witnessed was a high-speed event. In manufacturing, a ship was used to implement the agenda quickly. Cut the agenda of public education, cut the agenda of government, then narrow the government, then privatize its services, while also reducing the tax breaks to the wealthiest of us.”

“Now, we have been living in their vision for America,” Harris continued. “It is an agenda, a narrow, self-service vision for America, who punish truth tellers, prefer to be loyal to the power of being loyal to people and make everyone surrender to themselves while giving up allies and exiting the world.”
Harris further mentioned illegal foreigners deported by the Trump administration and suspected that MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia said: “Detain and disappear US citizens or anyone without due process.”
She praised the Democrats' actions to boycott the Trump administration, namely including Senator Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. Senator Cory Booker, DN.J. ;Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt); Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y., said: “In different ways, she has been talking about this moment with moral clarity.”
The former vice president said she was inspired by the Democratic election victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, as well as “the courage of judges to uphold the rule of law” and “the university that violates unconstitutional demands that threaten universities that pursue truth and academic independence.”

Harris went on to say, “If Congress hasn't made its own role, or the court hasn't made its own role, or both, the president has ignored them anyway. Well, friend, that's the constitutional crisis.”
