Former Vice President Kamala Harris, in her first major public address since leaving office in January, delivered a sharp rebuke of President Donald Trump’s policies, accusing him of inviting a recession through his tariff-driven trade war.
Speaking at the 20th anniversary gala for Emerge America, an organization supporting left-leaning women in politics, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, Harris characterized Trump’s economic actions as “the greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history.”

“Instead of an administration working to advance America’s highest ideals, we are witnessing the wholesale abandonment of those ideals,” Harris told the audience. She specifically criticized the shrinking of the federal workforce and the imposition of tariffs, stating, “as I predicted, are clearly inviting a recession.”
Harris also voiced support for protesters challenging the administration’s actions, condemning the detention and disappearance of individuals “without due process.”
The White House swiftly responded to Harris’s remarks, with Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller delivering a scathing rebuttal. Miller painted a grim picture of a hypothetical Harris presidency, claiming it would have been “the end of America.”
“It was a helpful reminder of just what a travesty and a tragedy that would have been,” Miller stated. He went on to criticize what he described as “radical regulation,” the movement of supply chains overseas, excessive taxation, and “cancerous, woke ideology.”
Miller also criticized the previous Biden administration’s border policies, calling them “Border Invasion” and “illegal alien Invaders” admin.
He accused Democrats of giving “gang bangers red carpet treatment” and blamed illegal immigration for a surge in violent crime.
“Every day we arrest another alien they let into this country who raped a child, who beat a woman with an inch of her life, who murdered a mom, who murdered a dad, who trafficked drugs into this country, who trafficked fentanyl into this country, who were responsible for dead and slaughtered Americans,” Miller declared.

He further criticized the media, accusing them of being unmoved by these alleged crimes and focusing instead on the legal rights of undocumented immigrants. “The only thing that gets them exercised is, do we need to have more? We have more trials for gang bangers. We need to have more trials for illegal alien Invaders,” Miller said.
In stark contrast, Miller praised President Trump, claiming he had “literally saved America.”
“This president has literally saved America, and I could not be prouder,” he stated.
