‘Trump Is Talking To A Fly At A Rally!’ Kamala Harris Ally Shreds Trump On CNN Over ‘Unhinged’ And ‘Unwell’ Rally Antics
Harris/Walz campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond tore into former President Donald Trump when CNN’s Jim Acosta asked about Trump’s latest rants about “bad genes” and retribution.
Trump called in to The Hugh Hewitt Show on Monday and went on a stunning and falsehood-riddled rant in which he renewed a false claim about migrants convicted of murder and told host Hugh Hewitt “we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”
He also again indicated an openness to taking retribution if he wins in an interview on Fox News.
On Tuesday’s edition of CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta, Acosta got an earful from Richmond when he asked about the rhetoric, including a mocking review of Trump’s rally antics:
ACOSTA: And I do want to ask you about the former president and some of the comments that he’s made in recent days. He has suggested in just the last day or so that undocumented immigrants who commit murder have what he calls bad genes. Let’s listen to that.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) TRUMP: How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person? And they’re now happily living in the United States.
You know, now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ACOSTA: He also refused to say last night that he would not use government institutions to go after his political rivals. So, what does the vice president have to say about some of this rhetoric we’re hearing from the former president?
RICHMOND: I don’t think she’s addressing his rhetoric at all. I think today she’s going to talk about the fact that so many families find themselves in the sandwich generation where they’re caring for not only a child but they’re caring for a parent also. And she’s going to expand Medicare so that we can include home health for our seniors who deserve to live out their lives with dignity and respect.
So, while she’s talking to that health care crunch that so many seniors find themselves in, Donald Trump is talking about genes. Donald Trump is talking to a fly at a rally. Donald Trump is talking about Hannibal Lecter. Donald Trump is talking about windmills causing cancer, electrocution, and sharks.
And so what I really would encourage listeners out there to do is go watch Donald Trump. He’s unhinged. He’s all over the place. He’s unwell and he’s talking about himself over and over again. And if you look at Vice President Harris and Governor Walz, they are attempting to address the issues that are facing our families. And so that’s going to be a contrast we’re going to continue to drive.
