Donald Trump and JD Vance rallied in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where they criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her role in bailing out criminals in Minnesota and failing to secure the border. The comments came as Harris’s support for the “Minnesota Freedom Fund,” which bailed out violent offenders, resurfaced.
During the June 2020 riots in Minnesota, Harris posted on social media, “If you’re able to, chip in now to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.”
Trump condemned Harris for advocating for a bail fund that released individuals charged with crimes, some of whom later committed murder. “I sent in the National Guard to save Minneapolis while Kamala Harris sided with the arsonists and rioters and raised money to bail out the criminals,” Trump stated.
Vance echoed this sentiment at the rally, saying, “Kamala wants to end cash bail, and what that means is that if you assault a police officer, you can be back on the street the very next day. In fact, when rioters and looters were burning American cities to the ground, including Minneapolis, Kamala Harris was raising money to bail them out of jail. Let’s throw them in jail and support the cops.”
“She helped a group of anti-cop extremists raise more than $40 million to free scores of criminals right here in Minnesota,” Vance added. They also criticized Harris for her performance as the “border czar.”
“Kamala Harris’s deadly destruction of America’s borders is completely and totally disqualifying for her to be president,” Trump said. “The one job Kamala had was the border. That’s the only job, but it was the biggest disaster in border history.” Trump quipped that people in other countries could use “sticks and stones” to secure a better border than Harris has in the US.
