Speaking at the Turning Point USA Faith\u2019s Believers\u2019 Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday evening, Trump declared that &#8220;Americans of faith are the soul of our country,&#8221; eliciting cheers from the audience. He quickly targeted Harris for her views on religious freedom, asking attendees if they recognized that the &#8220;radical left ideology&#8221; she supports is fundamentally opposed to people of faith. <\/p>\n<p>Trump accused Harris of launching &#8220;vicious attacks&#8221; against qualified judicial nominees simply because they were affiliated with the Knights of Columbus, implying that their Catholic beliefs made them unfit for federal positions. He referenced a 2019 exchange between Harris and judicial nominee Brian Buescher in which she questioned him about his membership in the organization and its stance on abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing with his religious critique, Trump condemned Harris for not attending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s address to Congress earlier in the week. Although she met with Netanyahu afterward, Trump&#8217;s remarks suggested disapproval from Israeli officials regarding her comments. He claimed that &#8220;she doesn\u2019t like Jewish people; she doesn\u2019t like Israel,&#8221; and recounted asking Netanyahu how a Jewish person could vote for a Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>Shifting focus to immigration issues, Trump labeled Harris as \u201ca bum\u201d and criticized her role as \u201cborder czar,\u201d asserting that there is an effort to erase this title amid what he described as an unprecedented border crisis. His comments come as media outlets reconsider their previous descriptions of her involvement in U.S.-Central America relations back in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Trump&#8217;s claims about immigration reform being obstructed by Democrats, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre challenged Republicans during a press briefing this week for not acknowledging their role in blocking border deals under Trump&#8217;s presidency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3142,"featured_media":2309978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/trump-harris-attacks.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[32438,4133,5894,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2309974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-kamala-harris","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/trump-harris-attacks.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2309974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2309978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2309974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2309974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2309974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
