We’re not sure if she’s still pimping her 107 Days book or just ranting. Listen to what could have been our 47th president:

Exit quote: “We saw a post earlier where someone said Harris should sue Vice President JD Vance for defamation for saying she gets up at 1 p.m. and hits the bottle. Vance could enter this video as evidence.”
