That didn’t take long.

Donald Trump’s own words on Wednesday were quickly turned back at him in a new video from Vice President Kamala Harris’s rapid response team.
Speaking at a rally in North Carolina, Trump claimed that President Joe Biden is trying to put him in jail and “she’s the one behind it” along with “radical left judges.”
Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony charges in his New York hush money case. Neither Biden nor Harris has anything to do with the prosecution, but Trump has falsely claimed otherwise for that and the other legal cases he’s facing.
“So think of it: They get me to that position, and then their campaign says, ‘I’m the prosecutor, and he is the convicted felon.’ That’s their campaign,” Trump said. “I don’t think people are going to buy it.”
Just hours later, Harris’ team turned that prediction into reality in the simplest way possible.
They took Trump’s own words, then added the standard “I approve” message from Harris

Donald Trump claimed during a campaign rally on Wednesday that Kamala Harris is “totally against the Jewish people.”
The vice president’s husband, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish.
Trump was railing against Harris for not attending Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Wednesday afternoon. (The presumptive Democratic nominee instead stuck with a pre-planned campaign event in Indianapolis, but she’s been scheduled to meet with Netanyahu on Thursday).
“Even if you’re against Israel or you’re against the Jewish people, show up and listen to the concept, but she’s totally against the Jewish people,” Trump said at the event in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“And it amazes me how Jewish people will vote for the Democrats when they’re being treated so disrespectfully and badly,” the former president added.
Emhoff, the first Jewish spouse of an American president or vice president, has been an outspoken advocate against the rise in antisemitism during his time as second gentleman.
That’s included a few jabs at Trump, who has a history of making antisemitic remarks and, in 2022, hosted the Holocaust-denying white supremacist Nick Fuentes for dinner at his home in Florida.
Social media users offered Trump a newsflash:
Hey @SecondGentleman, guessing this comes as a surprise to you. As a Jewish person, I would just like to say F-CK OFF Trump. https://t.co/4E5Ojp275Q
