Twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has escalated her aggressive attacks on President Donald Trump.
On Monday night, Harris branded Trump a “tyrant” and warned the American people that they should fear their president in the same way as “communist dictators.”
Harris made the remarks during her first televised interview since losing the 2024 election.
Sitting down with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, the former vice president launched into a blistering critique of Trump and corporate America.
She is accusing business leaders of cowardice for not openly opposing the president.
“I worked closely with the private sector over many years, and I always believed that if push came to shove, those titans of industry would be guardrails for our democracy,” Harris told Maddow.
“And one by one by one, they have been silent.
“They have been, you know, yes, I use the word feckless.”
Harris mocked the idea that CEOs risked anything of substance by criticizing Trump.
She sneered that they wouldn’t lose their yachts or Hamptons estates.
Harris continued by arguing that capitalism “thrives in a democracy.”
She falsely framed the United States as a “democracy,” rather than a constitutional republic, before insisting Trump’s America was sliding into authoritarianism.
“Democracy sustains capitalism,” she said.
“Capitalism thrives in a democracy.
“And right now, we are dealing with—as I called him at my speech on the ellipse—a tyrant.
“We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators.
“That’s what we’re dealing with right now under Donald Trump.
“And these titans of industry are not speaking up.”
The former vice president suggested corporate leaders remain silent out of fear that Trump’s administration would target them if they stepped out of line.
But she scolded them for failing to show courage.
“At some point, they’ve got to stand up for the sake of the people who rely on all of these institutions to have integrity and to at some point be the guardrails against a tyrant who is using the federal government to execute his whim and fancy because of a fragile ego,” Harris declared.
WATCH:
The primetime interview comes on the eve of the release of Harris’s new book, “107 Days.”
The book recounts her disastrous run as the Democrat nominee after former President Joe Biden bowed out of the 2024 race.
Harris’s comments underscore Democrats’ strategy of continuing to portray Trump as an authoritarian figure even after his decisive electoral victory last fall.
But her attempt to compare the president of the United States to far-left “communist dictators” is not only wildly ignorant, but it will also likely fuel further backlash.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to rebuild American strength at home and abroad.
