Kamala Harris' campaign shredded Donald Trump after the Republican nominee told Fox News he had "every right" to interfere with the 2020 election.Trump made the comment during a Sunday interview with Mark Levin. "It's so crazy that my poll numbers go up," Trump said. "Whoever heard, you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it, but you get indicted and your poll numbers go up."Trump has pushed the so-called "Big Lie" that he won the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to President Joe Biden, and has so far refused to say whether he'd accept the results of the 2024 election.ALSO READ: Dem leaders keep shrugging off Moms for Liberty — even as Trump keeps grooming themTrump encouraged the violent insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, to overturn the results.Sarafina Chitika, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign, blasted Trump's latest comments in a statement Monday."Everything Donald Trump has promised on the campaign trail – from ‘terminating’ the Constitution, to imprisoning his political opponents and promising to rule as a dictator on ‘day one’ – makes it clear that he believes he is above the law.

He did not," she said.Chitika noted that Trump is pushing a "false history about the past" and said Americans are "ready for a new way forward."
