In a fiery campaign rally in Wisconsin, Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of gross incompetence in handling the immigration crisis.
The former president’s scathing criticism came amidst a closely contested race, with immigration serving as a central issue in the political landscape.
Addressing a crowd in Prairie du Chien, Trump did not hold back, accusing Harris of being “mentally disabled” and unfit for office.
He attributed the surge in illegal border crossings to what he described as the Biden administration’s “criminal negligence” and called for Harris to be impeached for her failure to secure the southern border.
“She stood at the border where I built the wall, using it as a backdrop while making empty promises to fix the system. This is one of the most disastrous mistakes in American history,” Trump declared, reiterating his belief that only his return to office could resolve the issue.
Harris had visited the southern border a day earlier, vowing to prioritize cracking down on fentanyl trafficking and repairing what she called a “broken immigration system.”
Trump, however, dismissed her efforts, suggesting that under any other administration, such mismanagement would have led to immediate removal from office.
As his speech took a darker turn, Trump painted a dire picture of the immigration situation, labeling illegal migrants as “monsters” and “vile animals.”
He cited alarming statistics, claiming that over 13,000 convicted murderers were at large in the U.S. after crossing the border. He warned that these individuals were coming to “rape, pillage, and kill,” framing the border crisis as a grave threat to the country’s safety.
The former president, notorious for his hardline stance on immigration, concluded his speech by admitting, “This is a dark speech,” reflecting the stark tone and heavy rhetoric he used to characterize his vision of the nation’s future.
