Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated "the danger and the threat that Donald Trump poses to America and the fact that he is unfit to serve," on Friday when asked about criticism of her rhetoric by Republican leaders.Â
"Well, listen, we all must speak out against any form of political violence, and I'm very clear about that. No one should be the subject of violence," she told reporters, according to a press pool report.Â
"But the American people deserve to be presented with facts and the truth. And the fact and the truth is that some of the people closest to Donald Trump when he was president, generals, including most recently, John Kelly, a four-star marine general, have been very clear about the danger and the threat that Donald Trump poses to America and the fact that he is unfit to serve. And the American People deserve to hear that and know about that," the vice president continued.Â
Her campaign was initially silent following a call from Republican congressional leaders for her to stop using "dangerous rhetoric," such as referring to Trump as a "fascist."
