Harris Campaign's Lightning Response: Using Trump's Own Words Against Him [1]

So, we all know how Trump loves to mock his opponents during his rally speeches and play the martyr with any accusation against him. He did that yesterday at his rally near Charlotte, NC, trying to push back on Harris’ use of the prosecutor vs. felon trope from her speech in Milwaukee. It’s typical Trump breast-beating:

But in almost no time at all, Harris’ social media team had taken that clip and turned it back on the Convicted Felon. The response is short, clever, and uses not just Trump’s words but even his mocking tone to drive the message home:

This is what a nimble, smart, and focused social media campaign can do. Their use of the tool that Trump favors most is brilliant and will no doubt keep pushing Trump over the edge and throwing his people into fits. It will also drive home the message for younger voters, a demographic that loves nothing better than to see someone pwned this way. Expect to see Harris’ team use Trump this way many times before November 5th.

UPDATE:
