During his speech, Trump battled a fly on stage and criticized his campaign members, calling them “so stupid.” However, it was his off-hand remark about Vice President Kamala Harris’s supporters that raised the most eyebrows.
“Is there anybody here who’s going to vote for lyin’ Kamala?” Trump asked the crowd. “Actually, I should say I don’t raise your hand, it would be very dangerous. We don’t want to see anybody get hurt. Please don’t raise your hand.” The comment immediately drew attention, with some political onlookers interpreting it as a thinly veiled threat.
Kamala Harris’s campaign quickly responded by sharing the video clip on social media. They captioned it, “Trump says it’s ‘very dangerous’ for Kamala Harris voters to identify themselves because they’ll ‘get hurt.'” The video sparked debate online, with many questioning Trump’s intentions behind the comment.
