Vice President Kamala Harris believes that Americans are going to “demand justice” against former President Donald Trump.
She appeared on the NBC show “Meet The Press” on Sunday where she was asked by the host about the current investigation.
“How much should President — former President Trump’s status as a former president and a potential 2024 candidate, how much should that factor into the decision to charge him?” the host said.
“Well, I wouldn’t dare tell the Department of Justice what to do. As a former prosecutor, I will tell you, I’ve — my — I am not in the business of telling a prosecutor what to do with their case because they know best the facts and the evidence as applied to the law. And so I’m not going to tell them what to do. And certainly the president and I and our administration, unlike the previous administration, have been very, very careful to make sure that there is no question about any kind of interference in terms of the decisions that the Department of Justice makes in that regard,” the vice president said.
“But let’s — let me, let me try to go to 60,000 feet. What do you say to the argument that it would be too divisive for the country to prosecute a former president?” the host said.
“I think that our country is a country that has gone through different periods of time where the unthinkable has happened, and where there has been a call for justice, and justice has been served. And I think that’s potentially going to always be the case in our country that people are going to demand justice and they rightly do,” she said.
It came in the same interview where she tore into the Supreme Court.
“How much confidence do you have in the Supreme Court?” host Chuck Todd said to the vice president.
“I think this is an activist court,” she said.
“What does that mean?” the host said.
“It means that we had an established right for almost half a century, which is the right of women to make decisions about their own body as an extension of what we have decided to be, the privacy rights to which all people are entitled. And this court took that constitutional right away, and we are suffering as a nation because of it,” she said.
“That causes me great concern about the integrity of the court overall. Especially as someone who my life was inspired by people like Thurgood Marshall, and by the work on that court of Earl Warren to bring an unanimous court to pass Brown v. Board of Education,” the vice president said.
“This is the court that on once sat Earl Warren, Thurgood Marshall and Sandra Day O’Connor. It’s a very different court,” she said.

It comes weeks after comedian Nikki Glaser shredded Vice President Kamala Harris, saying that she was a missing person, in a hilarious comedy bit that also took aim at President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump and others.
“Listen, I know we’re having fun right now, but on a serious note, I do want to say, Kamala Harris is still missing,” she said as she hosted “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Thursday.
“And if you have any information on her whereabouts, please contact her parents, they miss her, we don’t, but they do,” she said of the vice president.
“I have a theory though that we haven’t seen much of the vice president lately because she’s sentenced herself to jail.

“I think she just missed the rush of putting an innocent person behind bars,” she said. “Have you done it? It feels great.”
