A video clip posted in a tweet today by news outlet Townhall shows then California Sen Kamala Harris agreeing with Charlemagne in a July 2019 interview on “The Breakfast Club” that Donald Trump was an “illegitimate” president who “didn’t really win” due to “Russian interference.”
The clip begins with Harris attempting to explain, “Elections matter, when you win an election, you get to set the rules.”
Charlemagne asked, “How can you win with Russian interference though? That’s what I’m saying about the 2020… because I think he was an illegitimate president that didn’t really win so how do you fight against that in 2020?”
“You are absolutely right,” Harris responded. “So again as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, we should believe exactly what the intelligence community has told us, which is that Russia did interfere with the election of the President of the United States in 2016.”

Watch the full interview below:
Following the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in 2020 through a legal legislative process, Harris used similar wording to express her displeasure.
“The American people see this confirmation for what it is: an illegitimate move that will set our country back for generations,” Harris declared in a statement at the time.
Harris also insisted in a tweet, “Today Republicans denied the will of the American people by confirming a Supreme Court justice through an illegitimate process — all in their effort to gut the Affordable Care Act and strip health care from millions with pre-existing conditions.”
“We won’t forget this,” Harris vowed, ominously.

We won’t forget this.
Earlier, we reported that in a speech this morning, Harris claimed that Jan. 6 will live on in the country’s memory, likening it to the dates of the Pearl Harbor attack and the 9/11 terror attacks.
Harris, however, has given no such reverence to the riots that took place in Minneapolis after George Floyd died while in police custody.
Arizona GOP State Sen Wendy Rogers quote tweeted a video this morning that showed the city looking like a war zone and said, “Minneapolis from the Democrat Communist Revolution.”
