Donald Trump has drawn ridicule and accusations of hypocrisy after accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence, the former vice-president who his supporters said should be hanged during the January 6 insurrection that he incited.
The Republican’s nominee’s comments came in an interview with Fox News, when he also singled out Harris’s 2018 cross-examination of Brett Kavanaugh during Senate confirmation hearings after Trump, then president, nominated him as a justice on the US supreme court.
“They say she has many deficiencies, but she’s a nasty person,” Trump told the interviewer, Mark Levin. “The way she treated Mike Pence was horrible. The way she treats people is horrible. The way she treated Justice Kavanaugh in that hearing – in the history of Congress, nobody’s been treated that way.”
Trump’s comments prompted a response from Harris’s campaign, which appeared to interpret it an example of age-related confusion and evidence that the former president, who is 78 and now the oldest presidential candidate in US history following Joe Biden’s withdrawal, is in mental decline.
“In a stunning senile moment, Donald Trump just suggested it was Kamala Harris who treated Mike Pence poorly,” the campaign posted on X, linking to video footage of Trump’s comments.
“Donald Trump clearly cannot remember anything. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this hypocritical and senile moment.”
In fact, Trump may have been referring to a 2020 vice-presidential debate between Harris and Pence, when the now Democratic nominee twice told her opponent “I’m speaking” when he tried to interrupt her as she articulated an argument.

I think this article is biased in a heavy-handed, stomping around kind of way - it repeats rumors as facts. They threw Biden out because of his age and now they want the public to throw Trump out because of his age.I think Trump's comment about how Kamala treated Pence helps inform the public about Kamala's 'I'm Speaking!' tactic which is rumored to be the reason she demands open microphones. She can press the 'misogyny' panic button if she talks over Trump with "I'm Speaking!" and he doesn't back down.
Of course they are; they’re the Grauniad.
What a stupid article.
Cornwallis always looked good in a horse blanket…
The Guardian is never our friend and has always slanted the news to benefit the globalists.
I don’t think here “I’m Speaking!” strategy will work with Trump. Does he ever back down?
One way to reply to it ... “Yes, but you’re not saying anything.”
Her reply to that had better be clear, relevant and substantive because it will be dissected if it isn’t.
I’m still waiting for Mike Pence to give an unrequested New Conference, saying “I was NOT offended by Vice President Harris’s remarks during our debate. In fact I found her to be inspiring and energetic!”
All this JUST to spite his former Boss.
Meanwhile, neither Dems or GOP have much use for Mike Pence right now.
The gaslighters of the Grauniad are weaned on the feces of their Commie political heroes, which is why failed English major Robert Tait is feasting on the foetid droppings of Vice Mattress "Big Gulp" Harris.
Their focus on her disgusting scat leaves them blind to the spectacle of Willie Brown's man-yogurt dripping off her smiling and receptive face.
Pence cowered to Kamala - lol. He actually looks more wimpy on a Harley.
As if Pence doesn’t fully deserve being treated badly by EVERYONE.
Who “ridiculed” him Skippy? Some drunken slob in London?
100% bovine scatology.
Come on Donald. Nobody gives a $hite about Judas.
“Nobody gives a $hite about Judas.”
That’s true, but Trump’s point here is valid. Pence is the most polite, deferential, milquetoast debater in the world, and despite all that, Kamala still disingenuously played the sassy-black-girl-puttin’-the-man-in-his-place card on him.
Pence was too much of a pussy to mention it himself at the time, or bring it up at this point in time with her being ensconced as RAT candidate over Biden. I'll take it that President Trump is embarrassing Judas once last time to show what a worthless POS VP he was. Pence not ever saying anything about it, only shows what a weak person and President he would have made. When he stabbed Trump and American citizens in the back on January 6th, he showed his true self. No sane Republican would vote for his sorry ass, ever.
The Rules: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
Kamala, Leave Mike Pence Alone!
imagine harris pulling the same things that Trump wanted Pence to do on Jan 6th.
