Lara Trump Fumes at Kamala Harris Campaigning On Trump Being a ‘Convicted Felon’

Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump raged at Democratic presumptive nominee Vice President Kamala Harris for “trying to label” former President Donald Trump as a “convicted felon” — despite the fact he is a convicted felon.

Lara Trump appeared on Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning to defend her father-in-law and argued that “clearly the American people didn’t care” about his criminal record – dismissing the ruling as a “wrongful conviction.”

The rebuttal comes a day after Harris slammed the former president during an address to President Joe Biden’s former campaign staff in Wilmington on Monday. During the speech, the vice president joked that she knew “Trump’s type” having spent years as a “courtroom prosecutor” taking on “fraudsters” and “cheaters.”

Trump has been indicted in multiple jurisdictions and was convicted of 34 felonies in New York in June over a $130,000 “hush money” payment his attorney Michael Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

Host Brian Kilmeade pressed Lara Trump about how the campaign would seek to push back on the Democrats focus on the former president’s age and his conviction record.

BRIAN KILMEADE: One thing is clear you have to have a new strategy. The same strategy with Joe Biden, is going to be a different strategy with Kamala Harris. She’s in her 50s, he’s in his 80s. And she does have the same policy positions, I got it, but a word is that you guys are going to spend $11 million over the next two weeks going after her in the Washington Post over the weekend. Said that you guys already game planned about it.

Two things they are going to come after you for: all of a sudden President Trump’s age is going to be into play, and they’re going to talk about the criminal convictions in New York. What’s your retort to this refrain that began yesterday?

LARA TRUMP: Well, yeah, they’ve been trying to to label Donald Trump as a convicted felon now for, for a month. That’s the whole play there, Brian. Obviously we know what that one was all about. And clearly the American people didn’t care. They came out in a huge way and gave us historic fundraising in the days after that wrongful conviction.

Of course, if you had any question about Donald Trump’s age, looking at him on the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, seconds after getting shot, raising his fist in the air… This is the toughest, strongest man I have ever met. This is an incredible human being. Anyone who had any questions about Donald Trump’s fitness for office, you got your answer on that stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, when that horrific situation occurred.

So the fact that they are now changing pace on the Democrat side, cramming Kamala Harris in, and, by the way, not not trying to find a running mate who the American people can actually look to as a leader who would be a great leader… They’re looking at the votes. They’re looking at 270. And how does the math work out to get them to 270? They don’t care what you think, America. They don’t really care if you have the best leadership as long as they can retain power on the left. It should be a disgusting scene for every single American. When you look at the left right now.

Watch above on Fox & Friends.
