The campaign of former President Donald Trump is urging Vice President Kamala Harris to publicly “condemn” the “lock him up” comments made by President Joe Biden.

In a statement released to the media, Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary, addressed remarks made by President Biden at an event in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

“Joe Biden just admitted the truth,” Leavitt stated in her release. “He and Kamala’s plan all along has been to politically persecute their opponent President Trump because they can’t beat him fair and square. The Harris-Biden Admin is the real threat to democracy. We call on Kamala Harris to condemn Joe Biden’s disgraceful remark.”

During his visit to a Democratic campaign office in New Hampshire, Biden told the audience, “This is a guy who wants to replace every civil servant, every single one — thinks he has a right under the Supreme Court ruling on immunity to be able if need be, if it was the case, to actually eliminate, physically eliminate, shoot, kill someone who is — who he believes to be a threat to him. I know this sounds bizarre. It sounds like if I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up. We gotta lock him up.”

Biden further added, “Politically, lock him up.”

A source close to Biden clarified to the New York Post that the president’s comments were not intended as a call for Trump to be imprisoned.
