Kamala Harris stunned her rally on Wednesday when she defended Donald Trump, after her running mate Tim Walz bragged about he can ‘outshoot’ anyone – a claim that comes less than a month after a failed assassination attempt on the former president.
Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, stopped an attendee who yelled ‘lock him up’ about Trump, her Republican rival, during the event in Eau Claire, Wisconsin…..Wisconsin was crowded with politicians on Wednesday.
She had been giving her standard stump speech where she outlined her background as a prosecutor, arguing it meant she knew how to deal with men like Trump, when the supporter made the comment about the former president.
Harris jumped to Trump’s defense…
‘Hold on,’ she said. ‘You know what, the courts are going to handle that part of it. What we’re going to do is beat him in November.’
Trump faces several charges on the state and federal level tied to his business dealings, his handling of classified documents, and his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
DONALD TRUMP STARTED THE ‘LOCK UP’ CHANTS
The former president made the ‘lock her up’ chant famous during the 2016 campaign when he encouraged his supporters to shout it about his then-rival Hillary Clinton.
IS WALZ A GOOD SHOOTER?
Meanwhile, Walz bragged about his shooting skills when he spoke to the crowd. After talking about his support for the second amendment, the Minnesota governor noted he was an excellent shot.
‘When I was in Congress, I was the top gun at the trap shooting three years in a row. I can outshoot them too. I can outshoot these guys,’ Walz said.
