Trump insists Harris and DOJ indictments against him are to blame for dead Gaza hostages

While fuming about criminal indictments against him, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested Vice President Kamala Harris was to blame for hostages who were recently found dead in Gaza. The day after President Joe Biden announced that six dead hostages had been found in a tunnel under the city of Rafah, Trump lashed out in a post on his Truth Social platform. Trump argued that Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American citizen, was murdered by Hamas terrorists "due to a complete lack of American Strength and Leadership." "Make no mistake - This happened because Comrade Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe Biden are poor Leaders," Trump wrote, before tying the deaths to the ex-president's own criminal cases. "They have blood on their hands! Sadly, this is the total lack of 'Leadership' that Kamala and Biden represent - One that allows terrorists to take American lives, because they only care about Weaponizing the Department of Justice against their Political Opponent." Referring to U.S. troops who died in Afghanistan, the GOP candidate insisted that Harris was "directly responsible for unnecessary deaths that should have never happened."

"I don't think there's evidence of a connection to Vice President Harris," Turley told Fox News host Howard Kurtz on Sunday.
