Kamala Harris called on Twitter to suspend Donald Trump's account, arguing his posts 'beat people down' and put them in harms way.

The Democratic presidential candidate cited the president's tweets against the whistle-blower who revealed details of his call with the Ukrainian president and his posts slamming members of Congress.

'The president's tweets and his behaviors about this are just further evidence of the fact that he uses his power in a way that is designed to beat people down instead of lift people up,' Harris said on CNN Monday night.

'Frankly, when you look at what he's been tweeting today directed at the whistle-blower, directed at so many people, you know, I, frankly, think that based on this and all we've seen him do before, including attacking members of Congress, that he, frankly, should be - his Twitter account should be suspended,' she added.

Trump has turned his Twitter wrath on the unnamed whistle-blower, whose complaint led to a formal impeachment inquiry into the president.

And he has a record of blasting members of Congress on the social media platform. His most recent target is House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who is leading the impeachment inquiry, but in the past he's attacked the members of the 'squad' - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.

Harris said the president's long record of tweets - Trump typically blasts out multiple tweets and retweets a day - shows his account should be taken away from him.

'I think there's plenty of now evidence to suggest that he is irresponsible with his words in a way that could result in harm to other people. And so the privilege of using those words in that way should probably be taken from him,' she said.

'What we see continuously, including in the last 24 hours, is a use of his words, Donald Trump using his words in a way that could subject someone to harm. And if he's not going to exercise self-restraint, then, perhaps, there should be other mechanisms in place to make sure that his words do not, in fact, harm anyone,' she added.

But Twitter is unlikely to make such a move.

The company has removed accounts that violate its policies on hate speech but it has moved with extra caution when it comes to public figures who are a topic of legitimate interest, Axios noted.

And Trump has met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. The two had a sit down in the Oval Office in April to discuss his concerns conservative voices are being stifled on the platform.

CNN's Anderson Cooper asked the California senator if suspending the president's would result in Trump's base being fired up over the issue.

Harris acknowledged the possibility but said it was worth the risk.

'I'm sure that that will be said, but we have to also agree that when the president of the United States speaks, her words are very powerful and should be used in a way that is not about belittling, much less harming, anyone. And this president has, I think, never fully appreciated that responsibility,' she said.

She later tweeted about it herself, writing: 'Let's be honest, @realDonaldTrump's Twitter account should be suspended.'

Last week, a lawyer for the whistle-blower said the person fears for their safety in light of the president's criticism. Trump has called the person a spy and has demanded to meet him or her. He's also threatened 'big consequences' against the person.

On Sunday, Trump wrote on Twitter: 'In addition, I want to meet not only my accuser, who presented SECOND & THIRD HAND INFORMATION, but also the person who illegally gave this information, which was largely incorrect, to the “Whistleblower.” Was this person SPYING on the U.S. President? Big Consequences!'

Andrew Bakaj, the lead attorney for the whistle-blower wrote a letter to acting Director of National Intelligence Director Joseph Maguire expressing concern.

'The events of the past week have heightened our concerns that our client's identity will be disclosed publicly and that, as a result, our client will be put in harm's way,' he wrote on Saturday.

Bakaj cited the president's tweet calling for the person to be identified.

'The fact that the President's statement was directed to "the person that gave the Whistleblower the information" does nothing to assuage our concerns for our client's safety,' Bakaj wrote.

'Unfortunately, we expect this situation to worsen, and to become even more dangerous for our client and any other whistleblowers, as Congress seeks to investigate this matter,' he noted.

Trump has also criticized 'Liddle’ Adam Schiff' and, on Monday, suggested he be arrested for treason.

'Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people. It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason?,' he wrote.
