Rep. Jasmine Crockett offered a preview of what next weeks scheduled debate between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris might look like if the former president turns up .
What we will see is this whining child who will sit there and wont give direct answers and honestly will distract and be a bumbling fool, she told MSNBC s Alex Witt on Saturday. Weve seen it on the trail when he starts talking about, yknow, wind and he starts complaining about sharks .
Then she hit Trump with the word thats seemed to get under his skin lately.
I mean the guy is really weird and off his rocker, she said.
Democrats have been calling Trump weird, and Trump has repeatedly complained about it .
In the same interview, Crockett said Harris will aim to be the adult in the room as she takes on the former president.
She really wants to, number one, assure the American people that she has a grasp on the issues as well as remind them of why we kicked him out in the first place and remind them as to why we dont want to go back, she said.
