4:33Now PlayingDonald Trump once again has proven that his brain is too far gone for him to effectively serve another term in office. This week, he lied to the country and claimed that a new report has somehow “confirmed” that Kamala Harris’s campaign is spying on his campaign, even though the report said that his campaign was hacked by Iran. The man is genuinely unhinged and very dangerous, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump has completely lost his mind on truth social. This week Donald Trump put out a post facelessly claiming with zero evidence to back it up that Kamala Harris was spying on his presidential campaign. Very reminiscent of course, to the debunked Trump claim back in 2016 that Obama was spying on his campaign, had wire tapped his campaign. Turns out that the intelligence community had actually wire tapped a Saudi national that was living in Trump Tower. Didn't bother with Trump at all 'cause he wasn't a part of it. Just that individual who they believed might have been up to no good. But here we are eight years later and Donald Trump is out there rehashing his remix of his greatest hits. I'm being spied on. So what sparked Donald Trump to say this? Well, the FBI this week did release their report on the hack of the Trump campaign from Iran and they said that uh, people in Iran, the hackers had actually sent emails to the Biden people and said, Hey, we've got this hacked material.
Do you want it? Which the FBI said, nobody from the Biden campaign or the Biden people or the Harris campaign, none of them even responded to the emails. They all pretty much believed the same thing. Like, this is malware, this is spyware, this a scam, like delete it block the sender. So none of 'em even went to the emails. And even though that's what the FBI has to say, Donald Trump came out on truth social and said this, wow. Just out the FBI caught Iran spying on my campaign and giving all of the information to the Kamala Harris campaign. Therefore, she and her campaign were illegally spying on me to be known as the Iran, Iran, Iran case. Will Kamala resign in disgrace from politics? Will the communist left pick a new candidate to replace her?
Uh, the answer to all those questions is actually no, because she didn't get that information. But, you know, if we wanna talk about campaigns being hacked and then the opposition getting emails or messages offering up the hacked materials, we can't have that conversation without talking about what you and your campaign did in 2016. Now, can we, because you are literally trying to accuse Kamala Harris of doing what you guys did in 2016. Has the whole world forgotten that Hillary Clinton's campaign emails, John Podesta's emails were hacked, offered up to the Trump campaign that they took, sent out to the media, which they published? And I honestly, I have no problem with that. No, you shouldn't hack that is bad. I agree. But it happened
And the public needed to know about the material in those, uh, uh, emails. I believe. Same thing with the Trump materials. It shouldn't have happened, but media outlets also got these materials from the hackers. But unlike Hillary's campaign in 2016, they chose to not report on Trump's stuff. They didn't want to publish it. Such an insane double standard. And now that double standard has given this son of a, the clearance to go out there and say that Kamala is spying on me, which the FBI already said n no, no, she wasn't. She didn't get the material. She didn't accept them.
They actually have a little bit of a conscience. They have morals and values, unlike you from 2016. You bastard this, this story clearly has me off and it me off because of the double standard, not just with Donald Trump, not just because he is accusing Kamala of doing what he did in 2016, but the media in this country. Y'all had all the Hillary's campaign emails in your hands and you couldn't publish it fast enough. And when you get the same thing about the Trump campaign, you suddenly all turn into a bunch of cowards to afraid to publish the same kind of material. You quickly published just eight short years ago.
