Harris Puts Stop To “Lock Him Up” Chants At Rally

The Daily Beast reports:

On the second day of her battleground blitz with running mate Tim Walz, when she got to the point in her now-familiar stump speech about her days prosecuting predators, fraudsters and scammers, supporters, like those in Philadelphia on Tuesday, were just starting to chant “lock him up” when Harris deviated from the script.

“Well, hold on,” she said, holding out her hand as if to placate the crowd in Eau Claire, Wisc. “You know what, the courts are going to handle that part of it. What we’re gonna do is beat him in November.” The moment represented the smooth diffusion of a pattern that could begin to look unseemly for the vice president.

Read the full article. Yesterday was the second time that Harris has put a stop to the chants. Trump, of course, has lied that he never said “lock her up” about Hillary Clinton or that he encouraged such chants at his own rallies.
