'What will Harris do if she continues to talk about prosecuting Trump, either literally or figuratively, and supporters in the audience start chanting: 'Lock him up!'?' MichaelMcGough3 asks.
website, Benjamin Wittes of the Brookings Institution said that Harris “taught a master class this week in how not to address the question of accountability for President Trump.” Wittes further argued that “saying that as president you would supervise that person’s prosecution, as Harris did, is poisonous stuff in a democracy that cares about apolitical law enforcement.”as a district attorney and state attorney general qualified her to “prosecute the case” against Trump.
Granted, Harris in that speech used “prosecution” as a metaphor for her planned aggressive attack on Trump’s legacy, including his policies on taxation, trade, health care and relations with North Korea and Russia. And she isn’t the first politician to emphasize the importance of a background in law enforcement.
Still, her references to Trump’s “rap sheet” and her calls to “prosecute the case” inevitably evoke the idea that Trump is a criminal president who will get his comeuppance once Harris is in the White House. What will Harris do if she continues to talk about prosecuting Trump, either literally or figuratively, and supporters in the audience start chanting: “Lock him up!”? Sap their enthusiasm by giving them a lecture about nonpartisan justice and the presumption of innocence? Or remain silent and seem to endorse the idea?
If the only contest was the one for the Democratic nomination, this might not matter. But in the general election, assuming she gets that far, Harris will need the votes of Republicans and independents who don’t like it when candidates of either party seem to be measuring their opponents for prison uniforms.
