VP Kamala Harris came out of the box swinging at Trump during her first campaign speech in Wilmington, Delaware this Monday.
HARRIS: You know, as many of you know, before I was elected as Vice President, before I was elected as United States Senator, I was the elected Attorney General that I've mentioned to California, and before that I was a courtroom prosecutor.
In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type.
And in this campaign, I will proudly, I will proudly put my record against his. As a young prosecutor, when I was in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office in California, I specialized in cases involving sexual abuse.
Donald Trump was found liable by a jury for committing sexual abuse. As Attorney General of California, I took on one of our country's largest for -profit colleges and put it out of business. Donald Trump ran a for-profit college, Trump University, that was forced to pay 25 million dollars to the students it scammed.
As District Attorney to go after polluters, I created one of the first environmental justice units in our nation. Donald Trump stood in Mar-a-Lago and told big oil lobbyists he would do their bidding for a one billion dollar campaign contribution.
Good to see her taking him head on for this right from the start. I want to hear more of this from her every single day on the campaign trail.
We'll see how many excuses Trump finds not to ever debate her.
