Donald Trump escalates attacks on Harris' mental fitness, suggests she should be prosecuted

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump escalated his personal attacks on his Democratic rival Kamala Harris on Sunday by repeating an insult that she was mentally impaired while also saying she should be impeached and prosecuted Trumps rally in Erie Pennsylvania took on similar themes as an event one day earlier that he described himself as a dark speech He told a cheering crowd that Harris was responsible for an invasion at the USMexico border and she should be impeached and prosecuted for her actions Crooked Joe Biden became mentally impaired he addedSad But lying Kamala Harris honestly I believe she was born that way Theres something wrong with Kamala And I just dont know what it is but there is definitely something missing And you know what everybody knows itWith just over a month until the election Trump is intensifying his use of personal and offensive attacks even as some Republicans say hed be better sticking to the issues His suggestions that political enemies be prosecuted are particularly notable for their departure from norms in the US in which the judicial system is supposed to be protected from political influenceIn recent weeks he has threatened prosecutions of Google for allegedly giving priority to good stories about Harris Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and anyone he deems to be involved in unscrupulous behaviour related to the coming election His derision of the first Black woman and person of South Asian descent to lead a major party ticket as stupid weak dumb as a rock and lazy is also a sign of how nasty and personal the final stretch of the campaign may be His allies have pushed him publicly and privately to talk instead about the economy immigration and other issuesI just think the better course to take is to prosecute the case that her policies are destroying the country said Senator Lindsey Graham on CNNs State of the Union when asked about Trumps comments Theyre crazy liberal When asked whether he approved of the personal attacks on Harris Representative Tom Emmer sidestepped during an interview on ABCs This WeekI think Kamala Harris is the wrong choice for America said Emmer who is helping Trumps running mate JD Vance prepare for Tuesdays vicepresidential debate I think Kamala Harris is actually as bad or worse as the administration that weve witnessed for the last four years When pressed Emmer said I think we should stick to the issues The issues are Donald Trump fixed it once They broke it Hes going to fix it again Those are the issuesFormer Maryland governor Larry Hogan running for the Senate as a moderate Republican brought up Trumps false claims that Harris the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants had previously played down her Black heritage Harris attended Howard University a historically Black college and has identified as both Black and South Asian consistently throughout her political career Ive already called him out when he had the one interview where he was questioning her racial identity and now hes questioning her mental competence Hogan told CBS Face the NationAnd I think thats insulting not only to the vice president but to people who actually do have mental disabilities Harris has not commented on Trumps recent attacks but has said when asked about other comments that it was the same old show The same tired playbook weve heard for years with no plan on on how he would address the needs of the American people Ahead of the rally some of Trumps supporters said he often makes offensive remarks Still they support his proposals to restrict immigration and said he would have a better handle on the economy He says whats on his mind and again sometimes how he says it isnt appropriate said Jeffrey Balogh who attended the rally with two friendsBut he did the job He did very well at it Tamara Molnar said she thinks Trump is very strong on immigration As for his insults Molnar said I think everybody has to have some decorum when speaking about other candidates and I dont think either side is necessarily innocent on that Theres a lot of slinging both ways At the rally in Erie Trump said the invasion would end and deportations begin if he took office Thousands of migrants from the most dangerous countries are destroying the character of small towns and leaving local communities in anguish and in despair he said talking about communities in the battleground states of Wisconsin Michigan and PennsylvaniaLast month the GOP leader said he was entitled to personal attacks against Harris As far as the personal attacks Im very angry at her because of what shes done to the country he told a news conference then Im very angry at her that she would weaponise the justice system against me and other people very angry at her I think Im entitled to personal attacksThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness
