OSAKA, Japan — Sen. Kamala Harris “received too much credit” for her attack on Joe Biden at Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate, President Donald Trump said Saturday.

“I think she was given too much credit for what she did. It wasn’t that outstanding,” Trump said at a news conference in Osaka, Japan, where he was attending the G-20 summit of the world’s largest economies. “I think probably he was hit harder than he should have been hit.”

Harris was the most discussed candidate following Thursday’s debate, the second of two debates this week that featured 20 Democrats vying for their party’s presidential nomination. In particular, the California lawmaker received attention for her decision to go after the former vice president over his recent remarks about working with well-known segregationist senators during his time in Congress. She described Biden’s comments as “hurtful.”

Harris also used the moment to press Biden on his 1970s stance on federally mandated school busing programs, pointedly mentioning that she was part of a busing program during her childhood in Berkeley, Calif.

2. Who gives the slightest

fork what 45 thinks ... now or ever!

4. Translation: Kamala Harris scares the piss out of me. (nt)

6. You got your post in just ahead of mine,

I agree 100%. He also fears Warren.

[Paladin]

8. Even reptilian-level creatures are afraid of things.

trump is correct to fear both Harris and Warren.

[Bettie]

9. Yep, that's it

she terrifies him in a way Joe Biden doesn't.

[watoos]

5. Trump is confirming what I believe,

He doesn't want to run against a strong woman. He doesn't want to run against Kamala or Liz. He wants to run against Joe.

7. Can't stand that beast in the Whitehouse but this is not good for Kamala or Trump. Those swing

voters are listening and I bet that they will swing towards Joe due to these unfair race-related attacks. He will win the General...

[watoos]

10. Do you think that Trump will play fair with Joe?

[Skya Rhen]

11. Of course not - he won't play fair with his own grandmother, I am sure...

But Harris was wrong. Period.

12. Kamala Harris lost much of my support

Trump can go to hell (after going to prison). Kamala Harris really diminished herself with that performance. She played the identity politics card and the "hurtful" to her feelings card to score politic points. Instead of discussing an issue, she went for personal attack. I don't believe for a minute that Biden's comment was "hurtful" to Harris, a former attorney general of California. She's as tough as nails. So she lied. And Biden's response was totally factual and reasonable re busing & federal policies vs state/local governance. She pretty much lied about that too.

I hope she ends up attorney general in a Democratic White House after 2020 (and prosecutes Trump), but she used ugly tactics in the debate. I don't feel as good about her as I did before.

13. He's envious that it wasn't he who launched an effective attack on Biden

but someone else.

14. Since he doesn't have a feeling bone in his body, I wonder if Ivanka fed him this
