Kamala Harris says ‘chaos’ of Trump administration is by design
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris has hit out at Donald Trump and his backers in her first major speech since losing the November election.
Speaking on Wednesday in San Francisco, Harris said that the Trump administration was working on the “wholesale abandonment” of America’s highest ideals.
In her 15-minute speech, she spoke of the anxiety felt by many of her supporters since Trump took office in January.
But she warned against despair.
“They are counting on the notion that if they can make some people afraid, it will have a chilling effect on others,” she said, adding that “fear is not the only thing that’s contagious.”
“Courage is contagious.”
Chaos by design
Harris also cautioned Americans against viewing Trump’s administration as merely chaotic.
Instead she cast it as a “high-velocity event” that is the culmination of extensive work on the right to remake the government.
“A vessel is being used for the swift implementation of an agenda that has been decades in the making,” she said.
“An agenda to slash public education. An agenda to shrink government and then privatize its services. All while giving tax breaks to the wealthiest among us.”
Harris’s speech came a day after Trump celebrated 100 days in office.
The former Democratic vice president has largely stayed out of the limelight since leaving office in January.
