At a Pennsylvania rally, the vice-president focused on Trumpā€™s threat to use armed forces against his adversaries

Kamala Harris has said a second Trump term would be ā€œa huge risk for Americaā€, in a renewed effort to paint her Republican opponent as a threat to democracy, after the former president threatened to use US armed forces against thoseĀ he has branded ā€œthe enemy withinā€.

At her own campaign rally in the battleground state ofĀ Pennsylvania, the US vice-president showed a montage of clips of Trump, including the former president saying ā€œthose people are more dangerous ā€“ the enemy from within ā€“ than Russia.ā€

At a speech in Coachella in California on Saturday, Trump referred to Democratic opponents as ā€œthe enemy withinā€, saying they posed a bigger threat to the US than the countryā€™s foreign foes, and targeted Adam Schiff, a Democratic congressman who is running for the US Senate.

      Itā€™s ā€œgee willickers,ā€ probably originated as a variant of ā€œJerusalem!ā€ and about the same time (1850-1890) as ā€œgee whiz!ā€

      All of which were of course ways of not quite using the name of Jesus as an expletive.
