Trump Launches Personal Attacks on Kamala Harris at Rally
Former President Donald Trump escalated his personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris during a rally in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, just a day after she visited the southern border. In his speech, Trump criticized Harris’ intelligence, even calling her “mentally disabled,” and questioned her role in the Biden administration’s border policies.
Trump’s Harsh Remarks
Trump, known for targeting his political rivals with personal insults, sharpened his focus on Harris. He claimed that she was “born mentally disabled” and tied her to the Biden administration’s immigration policies. “Only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country,” Trump said, referring to border policies that he argues have caused harm to the nation.
Attacking Harris Over Border Policies
Kamala Harris visited the southern border, pledging to crack down on asylum seekers and enhance border security. Trump, however, accused her of being a political opportunist, stating that her actions were driven by poor poll numbers rather than genuine concern for the border crisis. “She is a disaster,” Trump said, insisting that she had no real intention to fix the situation.
Harris’ Campaign Response
Although the Harris campaign chose not to respond directly to Trump’s personal attacks, campaign spokeswoman Sarafina Chitika dismissed his remarks, stating that Trump had nothing “inspiring” to offer voters except “darkness.” She further emphasized that Harris remains focused on the key issues facing the nation, unlike Trump’s ongoing personal vendettas.
Trump’s Immigration Rhetoric
Throughout his speech, Trump continued to use inflammatory language when discussing immigration. He blamed undocumented immigrants for various societal problems, even describing them as “stone-cold killers.” He also shared the stage with Patty Morin, whose daughter was tragically killed by an undocumented immigrant. This emotional moment underscored Trump’s claims of a “migrant crime” wave, despite FBI data showing a significant drop in crime rates.
A Dark Speech with Familiar Themes
In an unusually grim tone, Trump acknowledged the dark nature of his speech. “Isn’t this a wonderful and inspiring speech?” he joked, adding, “This is a dark speech.” Despite attempts at humor, Trump’s speech remained focused on vilifying undocumented immigrants and attacking Harris. He also veered into familiar tangents, questioning climate change and revisiting unproven claims of election fraud from 2020.
Tight Race in Wisconsin
With the 2024 election approaching, Trump and Harris are locked in a close race in Wisconsin. Polls indicate that Harris holds a slight lead over Trump in the state, with 49% of likely voters supporting her compared to 47% for Trump.
