Hillary Clinton is finally getting (one form of) revenge on Donald Trump.
The former secretary of state used her primetime speech at the Democratic National Convention to rip into her former presidential rival as a selfish criminal who Democrats now have “on the run” against Vice President Kamala Harris.
As a prosecutor, Harris “locked up murderers and drug traffickers. She will never rest in defense of our freedom and safety,” Clinton said.
“Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial. And when he woke up, he made his own kind of history — the first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions,” Clinton said.
Then she grinned as the crowd erupted into chants of “lock him up” — turning the words Republicans used against her in 2016 into a rallying cry against Trump in 2024.
And that wasn’t all.
“Kamala cares — cares about kids and families, cares about America. Donald only cares about himself,” Clinton said.
Another one: “Kamala Harris is for the people. That is something Donald Trump will never understand. So it is no surprise, is it, that he is lying about Kamala’s record, he is mocking her name and her laugh,” Clinton said.
“Sounds familiar,” she trailed off, as laughter rose up from the crowd.
