Foley’s comments came nearly a week after he delivered a message about Trump in a video on their social networks.

He said he grew up on Long Island and saw Trump as a “harmless con man.” However, since his presidency and his re-election bid, Foley said Trump is “no longer harmless” and is a “very dangerous con man.”

“I’ve always liked Kamala Harris. I’ll go back to when she was campaigning for president for five years. I like what she said. I think she’s a positive, very competent person. I want to take advantage of the joy she brings, the optimism, and not fear, which has been Donald Trump’s hallmark.

“I also want to point out that the reason I spoke out… because I don’t particularly want to make people dislike me and I know that when you speak out against someone very powerful with very strong and loyal followers you’re going to get some negative reactions, but I also realized “I realized that I didn’t want to wake up the day after the election and find out that a swing state had lost by a few hundred votes and know that I could have made a difference.
