Alert – ‘I’m talking now, does that sound familiar’: Trump rips Kamala for interrupting him with reminder of her 2020 debate

Donald Trump took his shot at a viral moment at Tuesday’s debate by mocking Kamala Harris.

When the vice president tried to interrupt Trump – but couldn’t because the microphones were muted – the former president said: ‘I’m talking now.’

During her 2020 vice presidential debate against Mike Pence, Harris repeatedly said, ‘Mr. Vice President, I’m speaking.’

The moment has been clipped by Democrats who use the soundbite as proof that Harris is a fighter that won’t be pushed around by male counterparts.

Trump challenged Harris to answer for her political record.

But when the vice president tried to cut into her Republican rival’s speaking time, he took a swipe at Harris using her own four-year-old attack against her.

‘She was big on defund the police,’ Trump claimed from behind the podium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Tuesday evening.

‘That’s not true,’ Harris was seen mouthing on the split screen but could not be heard since her microphone was off.

‘Wait a minute, I’m talking now,’ Trump said. ‘If you don’t mind, please.’

He quipped: ‘Does that sound familiar?’

‘You lie,’ she said and could be faintly heard through sound picked up from Trump’s mic.

After much back-and-forth between the campaign during negotiation of rules for the first debate, it was decided that microphones would be muted when it was not a candidate’s turn at speaking.

Harris’ team was pressing for open mics throughout the debate claiming Trump could not ‘control’ himself and wanted to hide behind the mute button.

Ultimately it was decided that the rules for microphones would remain the same as the debate between Trump and Joe Biden in June – the one that led to the president’s demise in the reelection race.
