Former spokesperson for GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, Liz Harrington, said the reason President Joe Biden's speech at the Democratic National Convention was so late was because they didn't want people to hear it. 

"I missed it because I was falling asleep," Harrington said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "That was the point. I mean, they didn't want anybody to see it. They want to pretend like Biden doesn't exist."

The DNC started this week and Biden spoke on Monday night, not starting his speech until after 10:30 p.m. ET.

During his speech, Biden criticized Trump, saying he lied about the border, and stated that illegal border crossings have gone down during his own administration. 

Trump and fellow Republicans have frequently criticized Biden's policies regarding the southern border and have even called the thousands of people coming across an "invasion."

Harrington also criticized DNC goers who had signs that said "We heart Joe." 

"Oh really?" Harrington said regarding the signs. "Because you were just forcing him out by any means necessary because you know you couldn't sell the total fraud that he would somehow possibly win an election."

Biden announced earlier this year that he would drop his re-election bid and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president instead.
