"MADDOW: We have also now, in an executive order today, having we have got the president describing Antifa, the anti-fascist it's not even really a movement, the anti-fascist tactics of a portion of the protest movement as a domestic terrorist organization. What is your reaction to those things? What do you think the appropriate response is to things like that?"
"HARRIS: Well, in normal times, we should and could expect that our courts would step in when asked to declare the legality or illegality of what the president is doing, because civics 101, we all know, we designed our democracy the three co-equal branches of government, the executive, the legislative and the courts, the judicial. And I would like to believe that that is still something that is standing."
Former Vice President Kamala Harris cited cultural and civic pushback, including the return of Jimmy Kimmel, as signs of resistance to President Donald Trump. Harris promoted her campaign memoir 107 Days and appeared on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show during a media tour. She criticized a recent executive order labeling Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and emphasized the role of courts as constitutional guardrails. Harris noted lower courts have often checked presidential overreach at the local level. She expressed concern that reliance on the United States Supreme Court may not reliably protect democratic norms.
