Fox News Host Grills Trump Over ‘Ominous’ ‘Enemy Within’ Comments | EUROtoday

Former President Donald Trump is sticking beside his claims that Democrats allied towards him are “the enemy from within.”

In an interview with “Media Buzz” that aired Sunday, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee known as out California Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff as “bad people” who put democracy in danger, claiming that they’re part of the “enemy from within.”

“I want to drill down this question of retribution, because against your political opponents, because you’ve had opportunities to walk that back,” host Howard Kurtz mentioned to Trump. “And my question is this, are you prepared to say now that you will not use law enforcement to punish or prosecute your political opponents?”

“Excuse me, that’s what they’re using on me,” Trump replied, claiming that the federal government has been “weaponized” towards him.

Shortly after, Kurtz questioned whether or not Trump can be “willing to use the same tactics” on his political opponents.

“I don’t want to do that because that’s a bad thing for the country. I don’t want to do that,” Trump mentioned.

Later on, Kurtz requested Trump, “You talk about the enemy within, then America’s enemies outside, the enemy within is a pretty ominous phrase if you’re talking about other Americans. Who are you talking about?”

“I think that’s accurate,” Trump responded earlier than taking a dig at Pelosi and Schiff.

“These are bad people. We have a lot of bad people,” Trump mentioned. “But when you look at ‘Shifty Schiff’ and some of the others, yeah, they are to me, the enemy from within. I think Nancy Pelosi is an enemy from within.”

In a Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures” interview that aired on Oct. 13, Trump advised all his foes might be “very easily handled” with navy pressure on Election Day.

“I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people, we have some sick people, radical left lunatics,” he mentioned.

“And I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen,” he added.

He doubled down on his claims of the “enemy from within” days later throughout a Fox News city corridor occasion on Oct. 16, calling Democrats “dangerous” and “evil.”
