Former President Donald Trump intensified his verbal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris during a rally in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, on Saturday, September 28, 2024, falsely claiming she was born “mentally impaired.”
After making research on the fellow candidate Trump’s remarks, which were made in front of a laughing crowd, they were part of his continued criticism of the Biden administration’s handling of immigration issues due to the fact he takes it so lightly.
“Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way,” Trump said, adding, “Only a mentally disabled person could’ve allowed this to happen to our country.”
trying to express his view that she is so slack in her way of handling situations, Trump appeared to be blaming Harris for the increase in migrant crossings at the U.S. border, a key issue in his campaign rhetoric that is at hand.
However, multiple Biden administration officials have clarified that Harris was tasked with addressing the root causes of mass migration in Central American countries, focusing on diplomatic efforts rather than directly managing border policies that are the main priority.
Trump’s comments have drawn criticism for being unnecessary and inflammatory, raising concerns about the impact such rhetoric could have on the political discourse.
