Donald Trump’s son has hit out at the mainstream media (MSM), claiming they have changed their tone on Kamala Harris after she became frontrunner for the Democrat nominee for president.
The US Vice-President passed the threshold yesterday to clinch the nomination formally in a vote of party delegates.
Speaking on GB News, Eric Trump said the media are guilty of vilifying Harris - but now she is up against his father, they are much more glowing in their appraisal.
“It’s funny, the media was mocking her”, he said.

“They spent the last four years mocking her. Then all of a sudden, Biden’s forced out and she walks on water.
“It’s really an amazing thing. But speaking in general, in our country, people don’t trust the media anymore.

“For the last three-and-a-half years, they’ve talked about Biden being a vibrant, articulate, well-spoke, healthy man.
“He walks out on stage to a debate and everybody realises that is not true. People realise that Kamala Harris was lying to them and the media was lying to them.
“The entire media and the distrust of the mainstream media is the biggest it has ever been. That is why we have so many independent journalists who have been doing so well.”
Harris is the first black woman and first South Asian woman to become the White House hopeful for a major US political party.
Kamala Harris has taken the Democrat reins

She ran unopposed in the virtual roll call after Joe Biden stepped aside last month and quickly endorsed her with several possible rivals following suit.
On Friday afternoon, Harris became the nominee officially after securing the support of 2,350 delegates, the threshold required to earn the nomination.
"We believe in the promise of America and that’s what this campaign is about," she said in brief remarks by phone.
"We are in this, we are on the road and it's not going to be easy, but we’re going to get this done."
Harris, 59, was born in Oakland, California, and is the first Democratic nominee in the party’s history to hail from a western state.
