Speaking with “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker, Harris was asked which nation she considers “to be our greatest adversary.”

“I think there’s an obvious one in mind, which is Iran,” Harris replied. “Iran has American blood on their hands. This attack on Israel, 200 ballistic missiles.”

“What we need to do to ensure that Iran never achieves the ability to be a nuclear power, that is one of my highest priorities,” she added.

Whitaker followed up, asking, “If Iran is building a nuclear weapon, would you take military action?”

“I’m not going to talk about hypotheticals at this moment,” said the vice president.

So Iran building nuclear weapons was the greatest adversary and also a hypothetical. very-smart

Libs hate the very idea of bombing Iran now though.

a harris administration would perhaps not do literally the same things like this or specific ICE raids,

ICE would be deporting twice as many people, but they'd be quieter about it and the media would be dead silent on the topic. They wouldn't be letting "the cruelty is the point" get in the way of ruthless efficiency.

the brunch crowd cares about the optics too much for them to do exactly the same things.
