Former President Donald Trump intends to bring attention to the radically progressive record of Vice President Kamala Harris as the two contend for the Oval Office.

And one of the issues he will highlight was on display at his Minnesota rally on Saturday where he played a video the highlighted the vice president’s promotion of the Minnesota Freedom Fund and the criminals that were bailed out of prison with the funds raised.

The vice president did not make a donation to the fund herself but did promote it and encourage others to donate on her X, formerly Twitter, account, The Daily Caller reported.

“The video mentions criminals such as Donovan Boone, who was charged with invading the home of his ex-girlfriend and strangling her. Other names mentioned include Christopher Boswell, who is a twice-convicted rapist that was charged with kidnapping, assault, and sexual assault in 2020. Darnika Floyd, who was charged with second-degree murder after fatally stabbing a man who refused to have sex with her. Thomas Moseley, who was arrested for damaging a police station, drugs and rioting charges and Shawn Tillman who murdered a passenger at a train station in St. Paul, Minnesota just after being released,” the report said.

“At today’s rally in Minnesota, President Trump will set the record straight on dangerously liberal Kamala Harris’ long history of supporting soft on crime policies, like defunding the police, that have made our cities and neighborhoods less safe. Harris encouraged donations to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which bailed now-convicted murderers and rapists out of jail and put them back on our streets to commit more heinous crimes,” Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said to the Caller prior to the rally.

“Kamala and the mainstream media can try to rewrite history, but President Trump will make sure Minnesotans and all Americans know the truth — Harris is a pro-criminal extremist,” she said.

“If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota,” the vice president said on June 1, 2020.

The former president explained the type of criminals who were assisted by the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

“Kamala urged her followers to donate to the so-called Minnesota Freedom Fund, helping raise $35 million dollars to set loose violent offenders after they shot at police, looted stores, sexually assaulted innocent victims, and committed other heinous crimes,” the former president said.

“One of the criminals Kamala helped bail out of jail was Shawn Michael Tillman—a repeat offender who, with Harris’s help, was set free. He then went on to murder a man on a train platform in Saint Paul, shooting him six times in the head,” he said.

And that is not the only time the vice president showed how weak she is on law and order.

During a radio interview in June 2020 she praised the “defund the police” campaign,” CNN reported.

“This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities,” she said on the New York radio show “Ebro in the Morning” on June 9, 2020.

She claimed that cities across the nation were “militarizing police” but “defunding public schools.”

Vice President Harris’ history of supporting a bail fund for Black Lives Matter protesters who have been convicted is a key issue for law enforcement as she tries to present herself as a candidate who upholds law and order.

“Let’s be clear about something: If Kamala Harris becomes the next president of the United States, she will be an unmitigated disaster for public safety in this country,” Joe Gamaldi, the national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police and an active Houston Police Department lieutenant, told Fox News in an interview.

“She has loudly and proudly supported bail reform and has even donated and encouraged other people to donate to a fund that helped get murderers, rapists, people who were shooting people in the streets, out on bail,” he told the outlet. “We’re not talking about helping bail out the mom who stole a candy bar from the store to help feed her kids; we’re talking about violent criminals.”
