RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CALIFORNIA: Former President Donald Trump informed reporters in California on Friday, September 13, that Vice President Kamala Harris provided "one of the dumbest answers" during this week's presidential debate when prompted to discuss the impact of inflation.

"The first question she was given at the debate. Gave one of the dumbest answers. They were asking about pricing and would you be better off today or four years ago?" Trump said during a visit to Harris' home state in Rancho Palos Verdes.

"Prices have gone up at numbers that nobody's ever seen before, and just the concept of being better off, she didn't, she didn't give the answer. She talked about when she grew up. Nobody knew what the hell she was talking about," Trump said.



 

Donald Trump claimed he did 'very well' in the debate

Regarding his own performance, Trump stated, "I thought the debate was great," and "I thought I did very well, but I was fighting three people." The overall consensus after the debate was that Harris had won it.

The 78-year-old went on to say, "I'm here today in California with a very simple message for the American people — we cannot allow Comrade Kamala Harris and the Communist left to do to America what they did to California."

"The state of California is a mess, with people leaving and nothing's going to stop them. They going to other states. Some are going to other countries. But what they've done, [Gov] Gavin Newsom and Kamala and I want to say Kamala moreso — she destroyed San Francisco and she destroyed the state," he further stated.

"When you look at the kind of destruction that's taking place, it's all man-made or woman-made destruction, too. It's things that should have never happened," Trump continued. "But we're not going to let that happen with four more years of her in the White House."

Trump said, "San Francisco can be brought back, just like our country can be brought back, because we're a nation in decline. The decline of this whole state is one of the sad chapters in what's gone on with the radical left lunatics that we have to put up with."

Donald Trump calls Kamala Harris 'godmother of sanctuary cities'

Citing her tenure as San Francisco's district attorney, Trump referred to Harris as the "godmother of sanctuary cities" who was "right out there at the forefront and also the movement of defunding the police, she was there right at the beginning."

He asserted, "Kamala refused to seek the death penalty for a gang member who murdered San Francisco Police Officer Isaac Espinoza during a traffic stop, very innocent traffic stop. She didn't have the decency to call his family, never did, to explain her decision. Why would you do this?"

"Why would you give such leniency to somebody that just killed the police officer?" Trump said.

"This was a major reason why the San Francisco Police Officers Association has refused to endorse her in every single race since she became district attorney. The police don't endorse her, and she's got virtually no endorsements now," the former president concluded.
