in World News Top Kamala Harris Campaign Advisor Called for Trump and ‘His Kind’ to ‘Be Destroyed Thoroughly’
by
A senior advisor on Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s campaign, David Plouffe, called for President Donald Trump and “his kind” to “be destroyed” in a resurfaced social media post.
“It is not enough to simply beat Trump,” warned Plouffe, Barack Obama’s former campaign manager.
“He must be destroyed thoroughly.
“His kind must not rise again.”
The statement has come under fresh scrutiny after the second attempt to kill Trump in a matter of months.
The Trump campaign drew attention to the post, writing:
“This guy is now a top official on Kamala Harris’ campaign.”

A gunman targeted Trump at his Florida golf club on Sunday.
The failed assassination attempt came just weeks after Trump narrowly survived being murdered at a Pennsylvania campaign rally in July.
The gunman in the first attempt, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed at the scene.
The FBI has described his motive as unclear.
The suspect in the latest would-be assassination, Ryan Routh, has donated “exclusively” to Democrats since 2019.
