Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, by repeating an insult that she was “mentally impaired” while also saying she should be “impeached and prosecuted”.
Trump’s rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, took on similar themes as an event the day before that he described as a “dark speech”.
He claimed in front of a cheering crowd that Harris was responsible for an “invasion” at the United States-Mexico border and told them “she should be impeached and prosecuted for her actions”.
“Crooked Joe Biden became mentally impaired,” he added. “Sad. But lying Kamala Harris, honestly, I believe she was born that way. There’s something wrong with Kamala. And I just don’t know what it is, but something is missing. And you know what, everybody knows it.”
Trump has long threatened legal action against his rivals, including President Joe Biden and his 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton.
Trump acknowledged he might lose in November: “If she wins, it’s not going to be so pleasant for me, but I don’t care.”
Trump argues federal and state prosecutors are targeting him for political reasons. There is no evidence to suggest that is true.
“I think Kamala Harris is the wrong choice for America,” said Emmer, who is helping Trump’s running mate JD Vance prepare for Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. “I think Kamala Harris is as bad or worse as the administration that we’ve witnessed for the last four years.”
