Harris argued that Trump's comments in a Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures” interview were the latest example of the former president's threatening rhetoric designed to worry Americans about what a potential Trump second term might look like.

Trump made the comment in response to a question “Outside agitators” could disrupt election day.

“I think the bigger problem is the enemy within,” Trump said. He added: “We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left-wing crazy people. And I think they're the big ones – and the National Guard, if necessary, the military should be able to handle it quite easily, or if it's really necessary, the military, because they can't let that happen.”

Trump stood his ground Town hall event last night in suburban Philadelphia.
