President Trump on Tuesday attacked Kamala Harris for being “extraordinarily nasty” to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings.
Harris, who Joe Biden had earlier announced as his running mate, went viral for aggressively questioning Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct allegations during the justice’s heated 2018 confirmation hearings, where she also touched on abortion laws and Trump’s reaction to the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.
“She was extraordinarily nasty to Kavanaugh, Judge Kavanaugh, now Justice Kavanaugh,” Trump said during a Tuesday briefing. “She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing the way she was, the way she treated now-Justice Kavanaugh. And I won’t forget that soon.”
Harris, a former prosecutor, expanded her profile back in 2018 with her grilling of Kavanaugh, who was left with a loss of words when Harris referred to abortion regulations.
