Vice President Kamala Harris responded to the former president for the first time Donald Trump’s comments about former Rep. Liz Cheneysaying his rhetoric targeting his political opponents has become increasingly violent.

“This has to be disqualifying,” she told reporters after arriving in Wisconsin for a series of campaign events. “Anyone who wants to be president of the United States and uses this kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president.”

Harris said she has not spoken to Cheney since Trump attacked her during a live interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, but called her a “true patriot” who put the nation above her party.

“I know Liz Cheney well enough to know that she’s tough, she’s incredibly brave, and she’s proven herself to be a true patriot during a very difficult time in our country,” Harris said.

The vice president accused Trump of pitting Americans against each other and said he spends “a considerable amount of time plotting his revenge” against political opponents.

“His enemies list has grown. His rhetoric has become more extreme and he is even less focused than before on the needs and concerns and challenges facing the American people,” Harris said.

She reiterated her plan to “be a president for all Americans.”

“America deserves more than what Donald Trump is offering,” Harris said. “America deserves a president who understands our role and responsibility to our people and to the rest of the world to be a role model.”

In addition to criticizing Trump for his remarks about Cheney, Harris condemned his Republican opponent for saying during a rally in Nevada that, if elected, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., would serve in second Trump administration to “work on women’s health and protection. health.”

Harris said Kennedy “routinely promoted mad science and crazy conspiracy theories” and “is exactly the last person in America who should be setting health care policy for America’s families and children.”
